Given the craziness in RAM prices, this might be a good option for people with tight budget or go pre built.

The problem is this CPU is gimped to heck with only half the cache and PCIe 3.0 which is a big deal if you're using a weaker GPU that doesn't have a full 16x pcie interface. Compounded further by having the iGPU disabled... so this needs a separate GPU

You'd never want to pair this CPU with an expensive GPU hoping for a high end gamer. But it's totally fine for productivity tasks. I have a system running this CPU and Fedora for work tasks and it's responsive and snappy. It undervolted/overclocked quite well and the system fans are very quiet. Match the processor and other equipment to the job and it will be just fine.
