Best bang for buck 5000 series CPU available. This 5900x is a work horse. Handles gaming, video editing and my work applications with ease. Haven't tried streaming with it yet but I just use NVENC anyway, but I'm sure it could handle streaming like butter.

Looking for a speedy processor that ypu wont have to upgrade for quite some time. Considering the price for this right now, you cant go wrong with buying one of these puppies! Grab them while you can.

Pretty well designed processor, I upgraded from a Ryzen 7 3700x. Definitely faster as far as video editing. Runs cooler than my 3700x due to the extra cores and not having to work as hard. Worth the money when it is on sale. As far as gaming I can’t say I notice a huge increase in fps as I play in 1440p but the fps is more consistent.

this chip is honestly my favorite out of the other 2 3 series chips ive had and the prformance on it is honestly impressive

Super fast. This cpu is a much better price than the 5800x. Super fast

Upgraded to this chip after having an older Ryzen and have noticed HUGE improvements with performance

Pros, 1. A lot of cores and threads. 2. Supports PCIE GEN 4 for motherboard that also offer it. 3. It's fast for productivity, games and multitasking. 4. I got it when the price came down and Best Buy price matched for a lower price. 5. This would be a great upgrade for people currently on the AM4 platform running an older CPU. Cons, 1. It's now on a dead platform, but it still should be usable for a while. 2. With AMD and Intel having newer platform this wouldn't be a good CPU to buy for a fresh build. 3. If you're a content creator looking for the fastest or a gamer wanting a CPU that can push the fastest GPUs again look to the newer platforms.

What a beast of a CPU! I play a lot of modern titles and this thing combined with my 4070 to super runs them all with no issues. Recommend this highly especially if its on sale!

Great for gaming and multi-tasking! The single-core performance is great for games (with GTX 3090). The 12-cores makes it great if you're multi-tasking or have computational loads that can make use of the extra cores (e.g. Mathematica, MATLAB while web browsing or watching videos). I considered the 5800x, but at only $100 more, the 5900x is the better value for 4 more cores.

Went from a 5800x to this. All cores peak higher than 4.8ghz. 5800x would have a few hit over 5ghz but others that were 4.7ghz. makes for more consistent performance no matter what I'm doing. Get some single color Corsair ML fans to go on your watercooler, make sure you have your bios set correctly and your temps should be low 80s.

Fastest CPU in this price bracket (when on sale). Love this chip for it’s speed and efficiency. Blender cycle renders and physics renders are quite zippy with this cpu. Highly recommend on when on sale.

Definitely appreciate Best Buy doing something to help curtail the bots that go after these items as they come in stock. Grabbed one last month and paired with a 3080 FE, works like a charm. Nothing I've done has stressed this CPU yet and that includes heavy gaming and video editing. Totally worth the wait.

Great processor! Upgraded my device due to my old one note being Win 11 compatible. Easy to use and is super fast.

I upgraded to the Ryzen 9 5900X recently, and it's been a game-changer for my gaming setup. The sheer speed and responsiveness this CPU brings to the table have made my gaming sessions incredibly smooth. With its 12 cores and 24 threads, I'm seeing better frame rates and reduced load times across all my favorite titles.This processor handles multitasking with ease, which is great for when I'm streaming or chatting with friends mid-game. It's been reliable without overheating or causing any hiccups, even when I'm several hours into a gaming marathon.For anyone looking to keep their PC gaming-ready for the latest and future titles, the Ryzen 9 5900X comes highly recommended. It’s got the power to handle demanding games and the versatility for everything else. A solid purchase for any gamer!

I bought this for a PC i was building. The CPU has been excellent and I haven’t noticed any issues with lag. I don’t have much to say about CPU’s but this one gets a Yas / 10

The 5900X is awesome - more than I will need for a long time . I used PBO to boost it to 5.0 Ghz and undervolted to 65 watt part - it uses a max 105 watts on boost and probably could clock higher - but I like it really stable - definitely got really good silicon on my purchase

Productivity and gaming performance are still really high even compared to the newer generation, so if you are still on an AM4 socket and want more cores I would go with this as long as it stays at its current price.

Great CPU for Multi tasking , love gaming with it also . Nothing more i can ask for in a cpu on the AM4 platform.

This CPU flies. Great power and best bang for your buck.

Good price for the cpu. Way better than the one I did have which was a dozen 7 5700G
