consider purchasing a budget motherboard such as the Gigabyte B450M S2H for long-term reliability or opt for a premium board designed to boost CPU performance like the Ryzen 3 1200.

You're likely looking for an upgrade that offers more performance without breaking the bank. Something around $40 would be a good starting point for decent overclocking.

What purpose do you have in mind for the system? A simple low-resolution gaming rig? Mid-range setup for 1080p at 144Hz? Playing AAA games on Ultra or higher? Office work and web browsing? NAS or HTPC configuration?

You're likely to miss some features on budget motherboards with low-quality VRMs, which can hurt overclocking. If you're okay with that, proceed but ensure a solid warranty is in place.

Yes, consider the AMD Ryzen 5 or Intel Core i5 processors, which offer good performance for gaming and multitasking with an RX 570 graphics card.

3100X probably meets the requirements, but for better performance consider investing a bit more and opting for a 3300x later.

Is this a concept you're encountering? Or is there something else you'd like to discuss?
