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!

I have built over 10 computers, most being upgrades from an existing build. I never once ran into having to reinstall windows, so I am not quite sure the validity in that.

Yes I've built a couple of systems before, but I just don't have much confidence in my hardware skills. I guess I need to watch more youtube videos.
