Worth $60 to upgrade from 5350 to 5370?

Worth $60 to upgrade from 5350 to 5370? Can't seem to find any 5370's at the moment, but maybe they'll come back in stock.

Nope. Almost nothing gained.
Save up until $100, then you can aim for gtx 1050 or older gtx 950. Ask again after you saved $100

I have a GTX1050 in my 5350 system.

You mean an AMD Athlon 5350 to 5370? They are AM1 processors and are aimed to the low end computing, competing against some Atoms and the non-Core celerons and pentiums.
I would save that 60 bucks in order to upgrade CPU and Motherboard to another more performance-oriented platform.

Yeah. Unfortunately, replacing the motherboard means having to activate Windows again. I don't think the digital rights licenses are transferable.

Yes you're right, you should add more for the OS. Perhaps that money you could use to get a SSD if you don't have one. Spending $60 for 150MHz doesn't seem a good deal for me.

Windows 10 license are transferable, you can login to your microsoft account and deactivate your old system, and reactivate your new one.

And going from an Athlon 5350 to a 5370 is lighting $60 on fire. Save up some money and get a low end Pentium or an i3, and a new motherboard. You can have an i3-6100, board, and memory for around $220.
