The next lowest I've seen it was for $280 at Amazon during BF21 (which I purchased).
Awesome CPU for my needs. I'm using it as a Hyper-V 2019 (free) VM server. It's a powerhouse.
Surprisingly low idle power draw on my ASRock B550 m-itx mobo; less than 30W which is great for a 24/7 server.
5700G is limited to PCIe 3.0, so if you were to pair it with something like an RX 6500 XT, performance could suffer from that.
1. AMD Ryzen 7 5700G $250 microcenter
2. You don't need expensive Mb for last gen 8-core Ryzen, it's not crazy 64-core Threadripper or Epyc, 5700G eat little bit power. Other story with Intel room heater.
B550 chipset just B450 with unlocked PCIe 4.0 (no real difference vs PCIe 3.0 in home PC)
$60 ASRock B450M Pro4, bundle with CPU in Microcenter (DDR4 3200 - very little difference in work, your wife not a Pro gamer where few fps is important). Just same mainstream level Mb as MSI TOMAHAWK.
(If you want pay for PCIe4/faster RAM - cost twice, minimum $123 for mainstream level B550 AORUS ELITE)
You even can buy any compatible AM4 Mb but I don't like entry-level junk.
Go deep in Ryzen Mb: https://docs.google.com/spreadshe...KCj
3. power supply - the same, "green" Ryzen, no videocard - no need 850W.
$40 EVGA 600 BQ 80 Plus Bronze Semi Modular 600W $40 https://www.newegg.com/evga-600-b...6817438100
4.$90 32GB 3200 https://www.newegg.com/neo-forza-...0097-00020
($105 32GB 4000 https://www.newegg.com/neo-forza-...0097-00035)
5. SSD - my favorite story
- PCIe 4.0 no real difference vs PCIe 3.0 in home PC, you just cannot get more, no way.
(If it's not special crazy expensive PCIe 4.0 hardware for server/workstation)
- thousands of MB/s - yeah, "sure", in couple sec of real work small fast SLC cache will ended, then you will get real TLC speed (400-600 reading and who knows how much for writing, depend from memory chips and controller).
- Samsung 980 PRO "3-bit MLC". Nope. 3-bit == TLC, same as 980 EVO Plus $120 or usual "980" $115, all 3 models - ABSOLUTELY THE SAME: same speed, limit, warranty, memory chips, just diff.label and price. Koreans also love your money, they are smart guys.
I recommend other Korean guys, LOL Yeah, RAM chips make today mostly in Korea.
SK hynix Gold P31 1TB because of 1,200 TBW warranty, all Samsungs /2 - only 600 TBW !!!
$110 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08DKB5LWY
$550 is more slick deal than $800, if need case - add $50, a lot of them on Newegg (only couple $50 in Amazon - Zalman T8, Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L)
$20 with coupon compact Mechanical Keyboard (Gateron Optical Brown Switch) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B094VXP3PN
$16 DREVO Owl Wireless Mouse (sensor PixArt PMW3325) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B096VB8Z45
And you still have money for romantic dinner in nice restaurants and even for some gifts like small gold ring and flowers.

G variant doesn't have the PCIe 4.0

I've always been team green and red so am set on the GPU front I think. If I wasn't set I'm sure I could have snagged a 3050 yesterday for MSRP thanks to this vendor

Durn you guys making me learn stuff on a Friday. Ok I'm still rocking b450 boards so it's not a concern for me it seems
But I don't. I truly don't. I can't believe this tie. $250 for this or $260 for 5600X. I do some video editing occasionally and work but mostly it's a VR rig. Halp
Pair the two and $370 for a powerhouse for years to come it looks like isn't too bad. I feel like I'm racing against inflation to find the sweet spot
Woah it dropped again $240 for 5600X at Microcenter!

5600x if you already have a gpu

Despite all that, and the lack of AV1 decode and H.264/H.265 encode and being slower than the 5500 XT in many cases, it might be the right choice for some people, especially if they can get it at the $200 MSRP and run it using PCIe 4.0.
I have a 5700G. It's extremely efficient right out of the box so that's nice. If you don't care about the iGPU, maybe you should go for the 5600X.
But if you can find one, great price! I paid $290 for my 5700g.
