I second finding discount ryzen chips like a Ryzen 5800x or 5600 and a compatible motherboard. I think sticking with windows is fine, especially if you are just gaming. My suggestion is to just upgrade your existing windows key, it gives you a grandfathered version without some of the annoying bits of a fresh install.
If you don't have one already, I recommend an SSD, too! Migrating your OS to one will significantly improve your day-to-day life using a PC.
Thank you! I’ll be looking for a chip like that! I‘ve actually upgraded to an M2 SSD in 2019 iirc!
Cheers!
