Is it worth saving this old desktop, or just upgrade. Not sure what else burned out .
A smaller form factor would be nice

The socket FM2 came out in 2012.
That's a decade ago. Given Moore's Law - you should upgrade. IMO.

What is your take on used CPU's, also I've never heard of CUK Amd brand

HDD, fans, USB flash drives - they break down in my experience.
But not CPUs or RAM.
Your storage devices can be re-used.
Although HDD does have a limited life span.
You're RAM cards can be re-used. But if you choose to have the latest motherboard - then they will likely run DDR4 RAM and not DDR3.
If you're looking for bang for buck - then pre-owned PCs can be bought at good prices.
Make sure Amazon or ebay wlil proect you if the PC is unreliable.
