This CPU is far from a barn-burner, but for old enough systems this is a great option for upgrading your PC to eligibility for an automatic upgrade to Windows 11.

The comments section will inevitably include notes about AM4 being a dead-end platform and/or the relatively low-horsepower of this CPU. Of course, if you've been holding out with a PC rocking something like an AMD Phenom II or Core 2 Quad CPU (both actual upgrades I've done to AM4 systems), those considerations may be of limited significance to your intended purposes.
I'm certain particularly helpful SDers could help locate some widely available motherboard platforms for this CPU. Newegg (shipped and sold) appears to have a few options from MSI and Gigabyte between $70-90.

Good luck!

for newer games no matter how good your gpu is.
get at least the 5600 variations
for even better future proofing get an 8-core cpu
as some game already benefit from one.
that trend will likely continue especially at 4k res.

I'm really impressed with it. Undervolted, my PC with 1080 peaks at 250w and cruises around 220w playing games
