I am in the process of getting a 1650 super for my i5-4440. I will likely upgrade to an AM4 (or 5 if its it out then) board with a low end CPU, then figure an upgrade to the CPU and memory at least once with a graphics upgrade or 2 before upgrading the board again.
I like AMD for long upgrade paths like that because they stick with their sockets for awhile. Inet has a new socket for every minor chip revision it would seem. When I got into the AM2 socket when it was brand new, I started out with one of the weakest CPU they ever made for that slot, like a single core at 1.2 ghz or something. Semperon 1900? I remember the only AM2 CPU worse was only ever mentioned in developing countries. they don't list either on wiki. I remember it being a step down from my Pentium 4 for raw power. It was out for such a little time and such garbage that I'm not surprised. It was a $40 place holder for my system, but it got me into the new chip socket and DDR2 memory. Had I gone with a S-939, I'd have never been able to upgrade the CPU, nor been able to upgrade the memory as far as I did on that board either. I upgraded that CPU twice. The second CPU was a bit more powerful than the best common S-939 chip. the last upgrade was more powerful than anything possible when I built the machine, and it was pretty cheap when I ended up buying it. That system served me for quite a few years without ever leaving me hopelessly obsolete. Graphics, I think I went OBG or an old PCI card from my P3, to something to the ATI 4850 I have in my current machine and drastically in need of an upgrade now. I might have jumped straight to the 4850. I couldn't carry over the previous machine AGP card, and I ended up selling that P4 machine complete, monitor and everything.
