    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!

    I doubt this needs to be said, but this CPU is one of the best available right now, and will likely be a top performer for half a decade.
