    Plenty fast and great budget CPU paired with a $400 video card is great. Just know in a B550 MB you might have to flash the bios first. And this cpu does not support pcie4 even in a B550 MB.

    Good if nabbed for under 100, not worth it over that. Only do so if you are rocking a 2600 or 1600. A 3600 put performs this.
