    If you look closely at the specs they’re very close to a Ryzen 5600 which I wanted at the time but was on a budget, I’ve watched plenty of video and did online benchmarks and this compared to the Ryzen 5600 is only a bit worse than the 5600 by 7% and the only thing bad about this is it struggles supporting gen 4 gpus but your probably on a budget buying this so your maybe using a gen 3 card so no need to worry

    Great lower power 6 core processor that gets the job done. Works great with an A520 motherboard for a value build. Included cooler is decently quiet and effective.
