Because if you upgrade you will spend not only the money you would of spent on this set up, but over the $150 more depending on what mobo you ended up buying, and ram, and then having to yet update your cpu as well later on. Whereas also, this set up can still be passed on to a sibling or elder, how do you just pass on a cpu? Youd make more on the back end passing on you old cpu, mobo, and then ram also if you bought this and waited for this hype to slow down. If youre only going to be gaming with your rig really, what diff will it make if you game on this at 90 fps with this, then spending the above $205~ (using the ddr3 you got laying around), then spending the $205, and $150+ getting a Ryzen 1300+, more ram, and other mobo that may lack the usb inputs you may need,(like I would I have over 10 plugged in), making you spend more the the $150 more over the $205, you would of spent, just to get a few more fps??? I dont get it, and then it would be easier to just slap in the FX mobo, ram, cpu/fan, in a cheap case and give it to your kid or Parent to go surf the web on the super cheap
Get a Ryzen, you pay more, get just a few more fps, then in the future still have to buy more to get more fps over what you used to get, get half of what you paid for your 1300+, parents dont get a new computer, or your sibling, they pissed at you now :O
Thats where I can see the value in this. Yes outdated, but to play games with it, whats it gonna show you different the Ryzen will do, doesnt the graphics take care of that
