Do You Actually Save Money in a Microcenter Store?

Depends, for small purchases I usually save money, but for larger buys, tax is 9.25%, so sometimes it's better for me to buy at NewEgg.

Best AMD chip for playing games

If he's gaming then he is going to want a dedicated GPU. And the FX-8350 has almost double the benchmark score than the A10-7850K. But that makes sense considering it uses less electricity.

Cryptocoin Mining?

I think that's a little dramatic. Any currency fluctuates, crypto is no different. Even if Dodgecoin overtakes Litecoin, why would Litecoin go away? I'm mining Litecoin exclusively for this reason, as it's going to go back up soon.

Buying AMD Radeon 7950, should I upgrade Mobo?

They're trying to regulate it, I don't see why they would shut it down when they can profit from it. But I would assume the prices would drop.

Buying AMD Radeon 7950, should I upgrade Mobo?

Yeah, it just so happened that AMD had the best performance for scrypt mining. They didn't plan on it, but when they found out, retailers started raising prices. I would think Nvidia is rethinking some things, because there is little reason to buy a Nvidia, as you can do more with an AMD at the...

Buying AMD Radeon 7950, should I upgrade Mobo?

These cards are the most efficient at mining scrypt, so the demand raised the prices. I don't want to fry my mobo running it 24/7. From my understanding it has a 3+1 phase and I would want to upgrade to a 4 + 1 phase VRM
