    For anyone who wants to play games and stream on a reasonable budget - this is the CPU. If you need more cores for multi-threaded work, consider a 5900X.

    I upgraded to this from an i7 3770k, what a world of a difference. I think this CPU is in the sweet spot of bang for you buck before diminishing returns start to set in.

    I've always used Intel and this was the first AMDY Ryzen series I've used and I'm glad I did. I paired this up with a Asus Rog 550 and it runs like a champ! Best bang for your buck!
