    Bought it for my cousins birthday, massive performance bump over an i3 7100, allowed his rx 580 to utilize its full power, plus with SAM, the power is even better, pairing AMD with AMD in dual channel 360mhz and with driver updates, he’s got a solid setup for 1080p gaming

    The Ryzen 5 5500 isn't breaking any records or coming in on the top of anyone's list. However, it's an extremely capable CPU when pared with a mid-range graphics card like the 7600XT, 3060Ti, 6650XT, and the 4060.
