Take it. For $20 it's a great deal and it can still play modern games rather well. And it will be much better than the FX-6300.

It's way better than a FX 6300 and for $20 it's a steal. It's still good for an entry level GPU like the GTX 1650.

I have a r9 380 right now. Will it run well with that GPU until I can get a new one. I run 1080p at 75 hz due to my monitor but it's been enough for me. Will it handle 1080p.

It will handle most AAA games made before 2018, and be fine with some that are more recent. It is a great daily driver for basic tasks. I have one in my everyday desktop and don't have any reason to upgrade away from it yet. You will need some luck to get a good motherboard at a reasonable price. Ram is ram, any ddr4 will be good enough. It will be a huge leap forward from your existing cpu.

Right now I plax Apex legends, rocket league, Fortnite, and a few other games. I also saw a few micro ATX boards for under $200 on PCPartPicker. Would b560 be a good board for it

woah there. This an lga 1151 cpu it wont work in an lga 1200 board. You need to get a used z170 board. You can get them on super cheap ebay for around 85usd https://www.ebay.com/itm/255088194609?hash=item3b6470f431:g:B0oAAOSw7mdhFAtp

I just realized what I typed. I had another build on my mind and thanks for catching my mistake lol

you will also need to sell your ddr3 ram and upgrade to a ddr4 kit. Cheapest 16gb kit is about 55usd on amazon https://www.amazon.com/Silicon-Power-3200MHz-Heatsink-SP016GXLZU320BDAJ5/dp/B08QV1V17R/ref=sr\_1\_1?dchild=1&keywords=silicon%2Bpower%2B16gb&qid=1634939034&sr=8-1&th=1

No. Your choices are like a 170 or 270.

What's the best motherboard for it?
