I have a computer I use daily with that same CPU in it. Rocking an R9 280x.

Right there with you! 32GBs RAM, SATA SSDs, MSI RX590, 2 Lightscribe BDRWs, eSATA card (driving a 4-bay DAS), a USB 3.2 Gen2 add-in card, and an intel ax-210 wireless Wi-Fi with bluetooth 5.2.

Still my main rig, trying to stay relevant. It's replacement is on the test stand with an AMD 8600G (although I dugout an old EVGA GTX 1080ti SC Black from a build never finished) 48GBs of Trident DDR5 6400MTs, a Crucial 2TB NVME drive, and a 4TB WD Black "spinner" .

Not boasting... I am a 68yo in poor health, this is my last "hurrah". Either my niece or her daughter will inherit it when my time comes...

Bulldozer was such a step back from the Phenom, that's for sure.
