I am building a pc, but I already have the new motherboard, amd cpu on its way. I am just looking for advice if my amd a12 9800e will be good enough for games like forza horizon 4 at low medium settings or grand theft auto v at medium-high settings, I don't play very modern games other than that. I am replacing this cpu down the line about 3 months from now, as I only got this cpu for 65 CAD dollars on ebay and am looking at replacing it with a ryzen 5 or 7 2600 and mobo was 80.99 I believe on ebay. I currently have i3 4160 and asus z97k/csm mobo, but it is 6 years old, and so is my 4160. I need to know if I will at least have similar performance or better with this new cpu compared to my i3-4160. thanks in advance, and my pc part picker list is below:
