    Great budget yet performing GPU. It meets the need of our build, and has been very stable since installed. Highly recommended. Bestbuy delivery is fast as well.

    Best CPU for the $$$

    Picked this up on sale and it is a HUGE difference upgrading from my Ryzen 5 2600. The 3600 is alot faster and "snappier" than my previous CPU; it really was like a whole new experience even at stock speeds. Also best buy has the latest manufactured date codes so these chips are well worth picking up for better clock speeds than older manufactured 3600 CPUs For those who are interested: I have the 3600 overclocked to 4.4ghz all core @1.31v and my old 2600 was at 4.1ghz all core @1.38v Wouldn't have thought the difference would have been that big of a deal at stock but that ~15% ipc increase really makes a huge difference

    This is a really good mid range chipset that goes well with most gaming rigs. On top of that it comes with its own cooler and has a decent overclocking speed.

    I matched this up with an ASUS - TUF GAMING X570-PLUS motherboard. Benchmarks put the speed in the 99th percentile! No overheating either.

    Went first for a Ryzen 3, but soon upgraded to the 5. Definitely worth the small additional cost. Go straight for the 5.

    Although I was worried something would go wrong it was actually really easy to install. I did make a mistake and place the fan the wrong way but I was able to fix it. Everything is running great and I have not had any issues with the temperature. At one point I did think I completely broke it by placing the fan wrong I actually thought it was glued together in the wrong spot because of my mistake. Make sure you're paying close attention to positioning if this is your first time too!

    Coming from an fx 6300 this is a huge upgrade. Games run butter smooth with no stuttering. My fx 6300 bottlenecked the heck out of 970 gtx. That problem is now no more.
