It's a better system yes, but if he's speaking strictly about playing this game then it's debatable whether it was worth it or not. The game is only going to demand so much from RAM, GPU and processor before having more power becomes redundant. Just looking at what he had/has, I'm guessing the boost came from the better processor. Overall he's equipped to play much better games, but his old build wouldn't have had a problem with FFXIV in particular. ARR isn't too taxing on a computer.
