Intel Core i5-9400F (6 Core) 2.9GHz Processor - Walmart.com $101 $101
$100.80
Good deal on a last gen CPU. No integrated graphics so it will need to be paired with a GPU. Definitely less powerful and efficient than current Ryzens but good performance/$ so this would be a good start for a budget build.

Was just gonna say this!
Think of PC's as old minivans - it's just not worth it to keep throwing money at them. They only perform around the race track at the speed of their slowest component.

For $100 bucks, might as well, just make sure your board does the 300 series support. Bios update may allow it. Its walmart though, so u can take back. People comparing to COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CHIPSETS are point less. If you don't want an overhaul but an upgrade, this is good spot.
I'm not 100% sure, but you may have to change your mb since your current cpu is a diff gen.. Best thing is to check intel and see if the choose of your mb is compatible..
But I'd say yes if you can upgrade and can afford it, without changing out the mob, it's worth the upgrade.

Thanks. Yea. Not interested in a completely new system. I just wanted to upgrade the cpu for better plex transcoding experience and for faster handbrake conversions. I intentionally built my pc for energy efficiency. It has no dedicated gpu. I thought maybe a processor with more cores than my i3-6100 would help matters.
