    I use this processor in conjunction with an Nvidia GPU for scientific computing. Works like a charm for my purposes. I don't use it for gaming so I can't comment on how it would perform for those purposes.

    For the money you can't really go wrong. Especially since the 5000 series seems impossible to find right now. The included cooler is fine. Keeps it at about 70C under load in my NZXT H500

    I do think this CPU is great. I do wish I went with the Ryzen 7 though to be a little more future proof.

    you could go w/ x570 boards which have native support for gen 3 ryzen. but if you want to try your luck w/ B450 boards, make sure to check online forums first. many buggy bios causing bootup/performance/voltage issues

    This was a huge step up from my i5. 6600k. So far it's handled everything I use it for with ease and my games have seen a large framerate increase as my processor was a bottleneck.

    It performs exactly how you'd expect it to. I just wish the cooler it came with had been stronger, or had a quieter fan so I wouldn't have minded the noise of it running high all the time.
