    The Ryzen 5 4500 pairs well with my Rx 580 8gb. I had no issues installing the Cpu into my motherboard, along with the cooler that comes with it. For the price it's the best bang for your buck. I recommend buying this Cpu if you're on a budget and are looking for a good smooth time with your PC.

    Bought this to make up for a PC I helped my friend with that ended up failing. This has been working great for him just like the 5600X I bought a couple years back has, and I haven't had any complaints from him since. Only thing I don't like is that the stock cooler doesn't use the standard mounting tabs that are preinstalled on boards, and it is a little wacky to get the screws to thread in.

    A Budget Performer For The Average Joe

    A Ryzen 5 2600 equivalent CPU for $79. If you're looking for the best budget gaming CPU overall, get the Ryzen 5 5600, as it's faster, and it has much more cache plus PCIe 4.0. If you're looking for the cheapest PCIe 4.0 CPU get a used Ryzen 5 3600 - the budget king of Ryzen. If you just want enough cores and threads to game, record, stream, and leave some tabs open, then get this. Pair it with an AMD RX 6600, RX6600 XT, or even a 6700 XT and you'll have a budget 1080p to 1440p gaming rig that makes sense. If you prefer an Nvidia GPU, the RTX 3060 12GB, or the RTX 3060Ti make the most sense but cost far more than the AMD equivalents for less performance. Put this CPU in an A520 or B450 motherboard for cheap, with 32GB of cheap DDR4 over 3200Mhz, with a cheap 2TB NVMe and you'll have one banging PC for CHEAP. Overall, even in my own testing it works great for a budget market offering. The downsides are the thing I noted it missing.

    Ryzen always pulls through, I have been AMD since forever, and Ryzen fixed every flaw! I have never bought a Ryzen I was unhappy with. Bang for the buck. In all honesty I’m entry level so I Dont do all the extra bottleneck stuff etc.

    Purchased to build a cheap Minecraft/Roblox rig for my kid paired with a 5600xt. Works like a charm with good bang for the buck, plenty snappy enough for like gaming or basic workstation/productivity tasks. While it has a fairly small L3 cash the high core count and decent Zen 2 frequency makes up for it.
