AMD has finally managed to beat Intel in both value and performance. This CPU has 6 cores and 3.8 GHz clock speed for only $250. What more could you ask for, great for virtualization, coding, gaming and everything you could throw at it.

This chip is a beast! Was able to snag mine from 'AMD authorized reseller'. Came in 1 day when it was estimated to take 3. This thing blows everything out of the water at this price point. On par with the intel 9700k in gaming for $70 less, and better than the $489 i9 9900k in productivity and multitasking. First time buying an AMD chip but with their recent innovations its hard to justify buying Intel.

The Ryzen 5 3600X is just as easy to install then any other AMD processor. The box includes the processor, a sticker, and the Wraith cooler with thermal paste pre-applied. I came from using a Ryzen 3 2200G and a GTX 1060 6GB, my framerates instantly doubled. Let it be known that with the stock cooler, the CPU runs hot*, thus leading to louder fans. *60C average; the maximum temperature is 95C. 4/5; stock settings runs loud, other than that, it's perfect.
