I haven't been impressed by BF/CM for many years now. It always seem to be gimmick sales on no name products just to get you in the door/click on their website.

bought ipad two weeks ago, their accidental protection plan is $100 for 2 year. much better than applecare.
wish i had bought my first ipad through them.
and they never hard-sell the service plan. always polite and no attitude if u decline their offer.

Yeah, otherwise they can't give you the hard sell on the service plan. I always feel bad when I decline it. The poor kids trying to sell it act like I just killed their dog when I pass on it.

This chip only has value if you're going to go integrated only if you ever have plans to have a GPU do not buy this get an 8-core chip dedicated
How does that work? Not buying the integrated if you plan to buy discrete later— where does the video come from in the meantime?

They just mean don't buy this apu which has integrated graphics, if you plan to use a discrete card down the road but I disagree. There's no drawback to using this with a discrete gpu and you're not paying more for the integrated graphics it has.

The problem is that you are getting a compromised CPU when you go the APU route. For example, if you go with the "top of the line" 5700G, you get a total L3 Cache
of 16MB vs 32MB if you go the 5800x route + higher max boost clock.

The same applies with the 5600G vs 5600X. That's why the other poster mentioned that its best to stick to the others if you plan to pair with a discrete GPU.

If you plan to pair it with a GPU that you can and are getting now, then sure. That's a relevant thing to point out. If you can't and aren't getting a GPU now, then it's pointless to bring it up at all because you need video out.

Yep. This year will probably be one of the worst if not worst BF/CM of all time because of the supply chain shortages. There will hardly be any incentives for discounts. If you need something that you see a sale between now and then, I would pull the trigger.

If I'm still on a 1700x should I upgrade to this for productivity? VMs, programming etc.

Or should I stick to a 5800/5900? I don't game anymore and was thinking this APU could let me offload my gpu.
I am also on a 1700X and decided to pull the trigger on this when I got an open box for $175, and a BX550 motherboard for $71 open box and with a $20 discount for buying them both together it was a good deal at MC. This only has 16 MB of L3 cache, but I think that only affects a handful of games that rely heavily on the L3 cache such as Valorant. But in most workloads it's usually within roughly 10% or so of the 5600X, and IMHO it should be quite a significant upgrade from the 1700X. Good luck!

Simple. If you got a gpu, 5600x. If not, 5600g.

5600x is $300 so it is $70 more. It is also a better CPU because of more cache and higher freq. You can YouTube videos to see the specifics.

Yeah I got a gaming laptop for 450$ and could've got the 65 in TVs for 250$ but procrastinated until they were sold out. Definitely good deals compared to what this stuff normally is on sale for. As far as processors and parts idk much about those prices.
