"Чтобы" относится к какой-то цели "Он пришел чтобы узнать", а "так что" это вывод, следствие, можно заменить на "таким образом", "поэтому", например: "Офис сегодня закрыт, так что приходите завтра".

Hi Farid, 'чтобы' translates like 'to', or like 'that' as a conjunction, or 'so' as a pronoun. 'Чтобы' appends a subordinate with a description of a possible situation.
For example: Не хочу, чтобы такое когда-нибудь повторилось. - I do not want this to happen again. Or: Сомневаюсь, чтобы эта книга мне чем-либо помогла - I doubt if this book will help me with anything.
'Так что' translates like 'so that' or 'as' in conjunction and 'so' as a pronoun.
For example: Ушиб был силён, так что о продолжении дальнейшего движения не могло быть и речи. - The injury was so strong that the continuation of further movement was out of the question.
'Так что' is an adverb, mostly used as a conjunction.
