It depends on your needs. The price seems reasonable compared to similar options, and the performance looks solid. Consider what you value most before deciding.
If you intend to upgrade later, I’d avoid it and allocate the extra budget to a B450+3100 model.
You can use whatever you need based on your situation. Let me know if you want suggestions!
For gaming purposes, the 9100F wouldn't be a good choice. As a non-hyperthreaded quad-core processor, it already performs poorly in many CPU-intensive games and continues to degrade over time. While userbenchmark claims otherwise, they've been known to alter results to show better performance for quad-core CPUs. For more trustworthy information, check reviews from reputable sites such as Techspot/Hardware Unboxed and Gamers Nexus.
