    This cpu is spectacular if you’re on a budget, runs new titles like a charm thanks to the 6 cores and 12 threads.

    Less performance than the 3000 series chips, but if you don't need the latest and greatest then seriously consider the 2600. Solid frame rates and slightly overclockable.

    Although the Ryzen 5000 series are out, this was a great value CPU for its time. It's still a good and an affordable CPU for a budget build.

    I had to go out and get this after I bought an APU. You need a discrete GPU to use this and cannot use a GPU with the APU versions (ones with a G after the name)
