    Very good Cpu. The 5600x Is probably the best Value you can get for gaming right now. New Ryzen is the BEST you can get for most games at the moment

    Amazing processor. You can’t go wrong with the ryzen brand. The 5600x is the best bang for buck you can get on a budget or even your main rig

    Runs much better than my Ryzen 7 2700x. Games increased by 20 fps or more depending on the title. Starfield now stays around 100fps in New Atlantis and Akila City when they used to be 40-60fps. Minecraft runs like a beast

    Great CPU, beats anything in the price range and it blows my mind that this is in stock and under retail. Best price to performance cpu. Used it in two of my builds with a 3070 and 2070.

    Everything you could ever want with a CPU. It won't break the bank, plus it's really good for gaming. I've had it for a month and no complaints so far.

    Most high-end CPU I have ever bought. It was a massive upgrade from my i5 6600k that was OC. Currently, my GPU is an RX 580 8GB so it is bottlenecking it pretty decently on most things but when it comes to CPU intensive games like csgo this gave me a huge fps/smoothness boost. It runs every map amazingly smooth at stock speed with OC ram to 3200 mhz. I also played around on some open-world games like the witcher 3 and was able to run it smoothly on max settings at 1440p on the main game. DLC was a bit different. Also runs GTA V very smoothly with the RX 580. Shout out to best buy for making it much easier to buy than Newegg and Amazon. If you wanna beat the bots definitely get this at Best Buy.

    Powerful CPU, with plenty of performance. Easy to install, and comes with the wraith CPU cooler. Decent cooler unless you are trying to overclock.

    So far so good - a gigantic performance jump for a great price. Cooler is a bit louder than my last one, but for how low profile it is works great

    Works great, way faster than my 2700x. Giving 4 stars because the stock cooler that’s included seems to be a huge downgrade from the much larger heatsink that is on the older models.

    AMD's newest processor is an excellent value for the money. I use this mostly for gaming and it destroys my old 2700x in terms of performance.
