    Good mid-range CPU for under $150, otherwise the i5-12400F offers better value.

    This processor works fantastic and smoothly! I was stuck between the 3600 and the 5600 snd ultimately decided the 5600 would be best. Turns out I was right!

    I didn't need a new processor but for the combo deal of a free copy of Uncharted 4 and its recently lowered price I had to jump on the deal

    AMD makes some quality CPUs for the money. My last few computer builds have been Ryzen based. No issues and great quality.

    First gpu for my first pc, easy to install and reliable. Over cloaking it can make it run like a 5600 x .
