    Best thing they could have added to my PC. I asked what they could do for 500 dollars and they did what they could and it was amazing. LOVE BEST BUY AND THE GEEK SQUAD MEMBERS.

    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
