Here's a nice article from toms hardware in review of this CPU (ignore portions regarding integrated graphics):
https://www.tomshardwar
I especially like this part:
"The 11600K, last-gen's fastest Core i5, was only 3.5% faster than the stock Core i3-12100, but overclocking the 12100's memory narrowed that to 1.4%."
As far as motherboards go, 12th gen motherboards offer features not found in any AMD boards or older platforms - not to mention they have levelled off in pricing. The performance to dollar ratio is good at this point for 12th gen.
1) the 12400 is a pretty decent upgrade from this CPU for about 50$. To overclock this CPU you need a motherboard with an additional clock gen. This means more than 300$ for the motherboard... so no OC.
2) motherboard for DDR4 your best bets are around 110-120$ or more.
considering the net system cost, an extra 50$ for a upgraded CPU is a no brainer in my opinion...
consider PSU, case, SSD, memory etc as fixed costs.

This CPU really isn't made to overclock. It's made for efficiency and performance right out of the box. If you want to OC, you should be buying a K processor and a Z690 board. Both of which don't speak to the budget user, which this is targeted towards.
This is a $100 8-thread quad-core underrated powerhouse, that'll run an office PC and budget gaming PC no sweat. A good h610 motherboard can be had for $90 (MSI, Gigabyte), making for an excellent value for the performance.
