    I would take a Ryzen CPU over an Intel CPU anyday. The Ryzen 5 CPUs in particular are a fantastic value.

    Glad I went with this CPU. It runs any games and other programs that I need for school with ease. Really solid choice especially for the price compared with intel cpu's.

    Great CPU for the price when it came out. Sure, better ones have come out lately, but this one is still good enough that I won't need to upgrade for quite awhile.

    Love this processor. Was an Intel guy for a long time. Made the switch and don't regret it. Rig runs great with this processor, ASUS TUF Mobo, 2070 Super, and 16GB 3200 RAM

    When I first decided to build my first PC, I was overwhelmed by the amount of CPU's that were available. But after doing extensive research, I noticed that many have recommended this CPU for the price and performance. It seems like AMD is leading the market in budget friendly CPU's that pack a lot power. I highly recommend this product for first time builders like myself that are looking for a solid CPU for gaming. It comes with an awesome cooler that is sufficient if you're NOT going to overclock. There's a reason why this CPU is so highly rated, you won't be disappointed.

    For the price, I don't think you can really beat this performance. I upgraded from a Ryzen 1600AF and the difference is quite noticeable, my frames have increased for every game I play now, but also just the general speed of my PC is noticeably faster. Included CPU cooler is nice, it's definitely enough to run the CPU out of the box and also has pre-installed thermal paste to make things even more simple. I would recommend a different cooler if you want to Overclock.
