    The 5600x is a very good cpu and is also capable of streaming just look at the motherboard to if it is zen3/5000 series compatible and your good to go.

    This is the processor to get if you are primarily going to game and dont need to have the absolute top end processor. I have this paired with a RTX 3070 and it shreds.

    Made the jump from a 5600G to this and was amazed by the jump in performance! This is the best value to performance you can get. Cpu utilization never gets above 50% when paired with my OC 3060TI.

    What I needed to run with my 3060. Pretty much can output all my games at ultra on at 120 fps. Pc is running optimally now and loving this cpu since i was due while previously running the amd ryzen 1500. No way i was going to do the 3060 injustice with that. For any future customers looking to upgrade to this cpu make sure you have the most recent bios on the mobo.

    Buttery smooth performance, I expected a bit of a problem running as many tasks as I usually do on a 6 core vs my older 8 core Ryzen 1700 but so far it's been an improvement all the way around.

    This is the best bang for the buck CPU for gaming there is. Highly recomended. Beats the 10700k for gaming, but probably not in all cores as it has 2 more cores.
