    Just switched from an intel 10600k. This CPU is a bit faster and I have notice a bit more FPS in some games. Overall great performance and price.

    Excellent CPU. Runs cool (for a Ryzen), is stupid fast for the price, and does everything really well. AMD is doing really well right now.

    The Ryzen 5 is my entry into both AMD and building my own system. It’s amazing so far and will probably never buy Intel again.

    Budget builds and existing AM4 upgrades only

    I made a mistake not going AM5 since I am new to PC building. If you’re making a whole new build, avoid this CPU. Not because its bad, but because this is one of the last CPUs that will be supported on AM4. If you start your build with this, you’re setting yourself up for a whole system rebuild when you go upgrade. A bad choice in 2023 considering AM5 is maybe $100 more all told for a cpu, ram, and motherboard. If you’re upgrading an existing AM4 system, this is a good product at the right price. I’d maybe avoid this if its over $150 unless you just absolutely cannot spend the extra money on a 5800x3d.

    Pair this with a 3070 or 3060 TI if you're looking to reduce bottleneck. R5 3600 bottlenecks with cards on Warzone, hence why I upgraded to this CPU. Good Value.
