Identify the processor offering the best performance relative to its cost.

It depends on how you plan to use it.

This setup supports any configuration you prefer. I still have an AMD Athlon ™ 64 Dual Core Processor at 4200+ with a 2.20GHz clock speed.

What budget are you considering? What tasks do you currently manage? Which board do you already have in place?

They haven't released any new titles for that CPU, so perhaps an AMD 3000G would be better. You seem to not be a performance-focused player.

I'm working toward a goal of about $200 for the CPU and am also purchasing additional components for the PC as I'm constructing it from scratch.

You could wait for zen 3 to come out and check what it has to offer and decide which platform you'll move to, and you could also wait for ampere to launch and then decide a budget for the whole build.

The price is $69 plus shipping, which you should consider before deciding.

It's a $50 MSRP CPU, currently selling between $55 and $60 after release. That seems reasonable. The shipping cost is a bit high, but I'm not sure of your location. Also, it's a low-power chip—perfect for email, Excel, and YouTube, but not ideal for heavy tasks.
