The 4690k seems like a solid step up compared to the fx6300.

If the cost fits, it makes sense. A price around fifty plus a thirty-dollar motherboard sounds reasonable, offering solid performance gains.

It's a significant improvement, but opt for a 4770K or 4790K. Hyperthreading is advised, particularly with quad-core processors and lower configurations.

Great, I ended up with a friend's 4690k and an ASRock Z97 Pro4 for $90.

You can purchase an i3-10100 for $99, a budget motherboard for $70. The total is nearly double, and you’ll also need RAM, though it will be significantly quicker.
