My opinion here on the budget CPUs:
4500: Not great, not horrible, equivalent to a Ryzen 2600.
4600G: Okay if you need an iGPU, the 5600G is a much better all around processor.
5500: Acceptable, equivalent to a 3600. PCIe 3 only. Board manufactures are slow to support this one.
5600: The one to get. It's a very slightly slower clocked 5600x.
5600G: Basically a 5500 with an iGPU. If you only do light gaming, this is a fine option.
5700x: If you need that extra two cores... Which hardly anybody does.

Intel board selection and pricing at Microcenter is a bit underwhelming even with the $20 off. Best as an upgrade
i3-10105: A good upgrade for LGA1200 Pentiums. The secondary and refurbished market is full of i3 chips and systems right now, however.
i5-10400: It's a better option than the 4500, really great deal at $95.
i5-11400: Some improvement over previous gen, paying for PCIe 4 mostly.
i5-12400: Best Intel value, beats the 5600x.

Edit: You're going to spend a bit more than $60; but MSI B660/M-A Pro boards are in and out of stock starting at $119.99 after the $20 discount. These are considered some of the better values for a 12th gen Intel board.
Just to clarify everything, there are $50 coupons for:
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
Intel Core i7-12700K
Intel Core i9-12900K

For every other processor, you can use a $25 coupon. These two coupons cannot be stacked. However, the $20 mobo/cpu combo discount will stack with either coupon.

Facing the same decision. Confused by all the aftermarket cooler options and performance variations at different price points, plus the online chatter of incorrect cooler contact pressure, mounting counter measures, proper brackets not included/must be sent out later, etc. Would prefer quieter vs higher temps in an air cooled setup.
Went with a be quiet Dark Rock Pro 4 for my 12700K. Came with a 1700 bracket. Just barely broke 80C running Prime95 on all cores for 5 minutes.

Does this stack with the motherboard/cpu discounts?

Yes - I asked on MC community. But not valid on open box items

>>AMD Ryzen 5 4500 Renoir 3.6GHz 6-Core AM4 Boxed Processor $84.99

FINALLY, another decent AMD processor at around the $80 price point. The last one we saw was the Ryzen 1600, which they had for $80 for about a year and a half.

The Ryzen 1600 gives a cpu mark score of about 12,000 while the Ryzen 4500 gives a cpu mark score of about 16,000. So it's about 33% better performance for about 5 bucks more than the Ryzen 1600 was selling for.

The 4500 is as fast as the 1600 "AF" which was a mostly rebadged 2600 which was the $85 chip.

Practically, most people are better off with a i3-10105 or i5-10400 though. These at least have an iGPU AND are better gaming chips.

It's crippled differently compared to 4 cores.. Really, it's an okay productivity CPU and won't bottle a 3060/6600, especially if you push them to 1440p.

It's valid on Open Box. When you take it to the register for checkout, you'll have to call a manager to manually apply the discount as it doesn't automatically add it. The guys checking out may not know this but the managers do...always ask.

No, it isn't valid. This is a game of luck. Nice managers will apply it on an Open Box item by overriding the system. However if you run into one that's a stickler for rules, you won't be able to do that, as technically the coupon doesn't apply for these open box items.

Can someone recommend a decent and not-too-expensive AIO cooler for this? I've always gone with air cooling so new to water cooling.
