Right... I was sorta talking about on the higher end of workload and stuff. If it's just cat videos, go get a pre-built so you can facebook with grandma, any of them are good now and will last years.

That’s generally true. Buying this is not being cheap with anything. The 3600 is a great CPU for almost everyone.

No but a 1600 af / 2600 is only about as 2/3 as fast as a 3600 and there are many other benefits the 3 series. Yes the extra $100 is a lot for the 3600 but it will last you a lot longer.

At this price, it's probably a push or worse to go socket 1366 or 2011. Not to mention you get all the modern conveniences of being on a currently supported AM4 platform.
