    This is a god tier processor for the price. Be sure to pair it with at least 3600mhz CL16 ram. Depending on the motherboard you may have to flash the bios, which is really easy if you watch a video on it.

    Bought this for a 3060ti Build, and I couldn't be any happier with the synergy! You don't need the latest to build a great gaming PC that will last at least 2 to 3 generations.

    I bought this for my daughter's build and it's a great all-around cpu on a B550 or X570 motherboard. New cpu AMD sku's are out and along with the intel competition prices are sure to come down, making this a better buy.

    This is the best processor you can get for gaming at this rice range. Unless your are running a 3090 there is no need for anything more than this. The cpu also comes with a cooler that can be used, although a stronger cooler is highly recommended.

    I upgraded from the 3600x. Whilst many would argue that the upgrade was quite marginal, I believe that I see the benefit in the upgrade as you cant beat the value of the 5600x for the price.

    Best Buy was the only place I was able to buy a 5600X due to shortages and I am very pleased with this purchase. It's a great gaming CPU and it increased my fps quite a bit upgrading from an older CPU.

    Unapologetically quick and will last me in this gaming world for another 6 years. I was savvy enough to grab this product at $189. If you're running a micro-atx build, this cpu has good thermals.
