Hi people.
I have read the quick start guide and done a lot of searching, but all seems very conflicting, and of course each game and RPCS3 version have different performance, just to make it easy XD.

Please read and stay with me just a second and read this bibble.
I have the bad luck of leaping generations on PC stuff so although I try to stay on date I don't really have a real grasp on something like "Ryzen 1 gen vs intel 7 gen" my pc history is like this: 286, K6-II 500, Athlon XP 1300, Athlon 64 x2 6000 (not even the Athlon II), FX-6100, you can see the huge gaps XD, I don't have the solid knowledge of how old/new/good/bad a i3-8300 (just an example).

My FX-6100 (2º hand on 2017, yep I was "gaming" on a 2008 cpu till 2017, leading edge XD) is almost done (probably the MB is the culprit, but I have no spare parts to test them).
Clearly I need to buy a new PC, thank god not a new GPU, I scored have a used GTX 1650 Super a couple of years ago (I used the "double GPU" trick to make the MB accept such a new GPU until I tried a Beta BIOS).
But I have "no money", the fact I am writing this on a FX-6100 and have no SSD should be enough proof, yeah baby SATA2 600 Gb mechanical hard drive FTW.
I want this "new" machine to be able to play PS3 at 720p, not asking for 4K 60fps or nothing fancy, just want to play "all" the games I bought for my 60gb YLOD  Angel so I need to know what is really the cheapest CPU I "need".

I know the specs are listed on the web, but I saw a lot of variation on the performance declared with different CPUs on various games (I know that is normal on this kind of software) just asking for the cheapest "all rounder"
As an example 10-11-12 gen i3 have pretty good performance on new PC games, some say a 12gen i3 is incredible better than a 10gen i5... there is the "AVX-512" on the 12gen thing too, some 6C 12T cpus are "bad" for running rpcs3 or just a little step up makes it run way better (ryzen 5 3400 vs 3500 as a random example), even found a guy declaring that is laptop i5 8gen runs it perfectly.

Im totally lost on this. just want some help, like "the i5 10400 is very bad", "the ryzen 5 3600 is cheap and good but not the G version!!!", "avoid anything bellow a i9 on 7gen" (just random examples I pulled of my hat) so I can discard and "OK" some cpus models...

Thanks in advance, sorry for this "bibble" and the trouble.
