These components are compatible without requiring a new graphics card.
That covers the price details you were considering. Selling my current Ryzen 3 4300G for around $100 would be great. I have two 4GB DDR4 3200GB RAM sticks without heatsinks, which I could include with the CPU when selling. I might aim for a higher sale price near $150 and split the cost of the new CPU. That would make a solid build for someone who can find affordable components like a cheap motherboard, power supply, SSD, and case. I could even add a budget SSD to attract more buyers.
Noted, I can add the cooler from my new CPU too—since I’ll keep using my Noctua model. I also have extra mice and keyboards, so I could put together a solid package: Ryzen 3 4300g with Vega graphics, a stock cooler from a hypothetical 5600 2x4GB DDR4 3200 RAM SSD, plus the mouse/keyboard combo. That set could easily cover the price of my new CPU for someone else. All they need is a case, motherboard, and power supply, and it’s ready to go on a basic build.
