    6 cores and 12 threads for $160? Yes, I pulled the trigger. If you can get it on sale, it is still totally worth it if you don't wanna spring for a 3000 CPU.

    I wanted a faster computer for the 2D and 3D design work I do and of course the Ryzen 7 2700X was what I thought I needed for my rebuild but after adding up all of the needed components to build that system my cheap bone kicked in and I went with the Ryzen 5 1600. I am glad I did. I saved over $300 on the CPU and various other components and the result is a lightning fast machine when this CPU is coupled with a 1TB SSD drive. Love this processor.
