Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought. this gaming computer for my daughter when it was time to upgrade her PC. It arrived quickly and was a great price for the product. Would recommend!

Really great processor for a budget build. Bought it for $80 last year, and really holds its own to modern games. One of the best AM4 chips you can get for sure

Best cpu right now for gaming. The value you can get from this cpu is suprsing (oc this cpu can give you better performance in gaming compare to 5900x & 5950x).

Best value to performance. CPU you can get from AMD. What I like about this model over the Ryzen 7 series is that the Ryzen 5 uses much less power and performs very similarly when not needing the extra cores. To a majority of the population, you will still be able to play your video games or long computing power sessions, without really feeling like you're sacrificing anything. When you get into the benchmarks, I think you already know what you're looking for...the Ryzen 5 5600X is the sweetspot between performance and price for probably a vast majority of people out there.

Very nice cpu. Lots of bang for the buck, the wraith cooler that comes with it is mediocre tho

Perfect budget CPU. Really powerful for the price. Good for both gaming and work.

Perfect CPU for any games and it was extremely easy to put in my computer!

5600X performs great in benchmarks & games, clearly mitigating FPS dips more than before and pushing more FPS to strategy & simulation games that my i5 3570K would have choked on. The "IPC uplift" that AMD marketed as better architecture resulting better performance is very real. Overclocking is not very clear outside of PBO with some mobos, but totally possible especially with some motherboard tools. I was so glad this came with a basic wraith cooler and one pre applied application of basic thermal paste. It will hold me over with little to no overclocking until I can get an aftermarket cooler. Regarding motherboard compatability: Make sure to get one with "BIOS Flashback" that allows BIOS update from USB drive without booting the PC. Otherwise, you will need an older compatable AMD CPU to boot to BIOS, then update it. AMD may have a CPU loaner program for this purpose, and some PC shops will take care of this update for you.

Processor was a great price and in high demand, got it for $300 on sale and couldn't be happier with my speeds now

great product. so much faster than my old processor and makes games lightning fast.

Perfect mid range cpu for a mid range build. Also it’s a good bang for your buck compared to the Intel 12th Gen comparison

Great processor for a great price. Arguably best processor you can buy in $300 range. Also great that it includes good stock cooler!

Really fast and an amazing chip and would recommend for a cheap but powerful pc

Great CPU. Very fast and great for gaming. Great service from Best Buy and they shipped it fast

Terrific balance between performance, speed, value, and productivity. Great for gaming.

Easily the best $300 CPU on the market today. It will beat anything that Intel can offer currently and trade blows with their flagship that's over $500. I was a lucky one recipient of a higher grade 5600x mine can OC to 4.9 GHz stable. If he can find one at MSRP $300 buy it now.

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.

I needed a CPU with a good blend of price and performance for a low end pc build. My research led me to this choice.

Great price per performance ratio. This is the fastest gaming cpu at this time and it performs flawlessly.

Great product. Ideal for gaming with having to spend more for extra 2 cores for $100 more.
