The 5600G has 16MB of cache instead of 32MB on the 5600, and only supports PCI Express 3.
Yes definitely worth it
Just keep in mind that this will be the last one that you can upgrade using your current hardware. Next cycle you'll be needing a new motherboard and memory. Gotta give AMD props for keeping board combability over the years, but it's time to move forward with AM5.

Ha respect. I play mostly faceit as MM is just cancer these days. What I lack in aim I make up in game sense. It's always fun to win against kids half your age.
Yup - and I play on a controller, too lol... as you get older you realize what they mean about fighting with your brain is better than brawn alone...

Anyway, I get the feeling that there are a heck of a lot more middle aged gamers that just play in the closet, so to speak. It sure probably isn't 12 year olds that are buying up all the 3080s and 3090s here on SD lol

Pairing this CPU with an MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI motherboard which Newegg and Amazon have for $110 at the moment. Hopefully will be a nice upgrade for my i5-2500K I've been using for 11 years. Tried playing God of War the other day and my trusty old CPU was causing a bottleneck, so figured it's time to take the plunge on something that will get me to 2033.
I think it all depends whether intel is able to shove AMD back into the poorville penalty box for a decade like they did 2010-2020. If they do, it'l be back to 5% gains per year at best...

Guys, I bought the 5600 to replace my 1700 on my B350 motherboard. I'm also planning on upgrading my 8GB RX480 later this fall when the new Gen video cards come out, prices stabilize because of crypto crashing, and Black Friday etc. BUT will I be sacrificing a lot of performance by keeping the B350 platform around? My RAM is also 16GB dual channel at 2667MHz, and SSD is SATA based, but I believe the M.2 slot on my motherboard supports NVMe but not sure. I wanted to breathe new life to my 2017 gaming rig, as painless on the wallet as possible lol
I am assuming you game? Your use-case could prompt a different reply.

Short answer, I don't think your setup will limit performance much, if at all.

Your ram is a tad slow, but workable. Keep it!

If you did change anything else, buy 3000 or 3200 ram (sweet spot). But ram compatibility is really tricky on first gen boards. You could buy 3600 and cross your fingers. But, for a budget, I would keep what you got.

Your motherboard (ram and ssd) is not a performance issue. The issue is will your mb support newer hardware. Check its website for hardware compatibility. You probably need a bios update for the cpu.

That is the beauty of socket AM4. Maximize your savings and keep upgrading cpu and video card and hang on to your motherboard and ram.

So, without knowing the specifics of your hardware, I assume that if your motherboard indeed is compatible with this cpu then it is an fantastic improvement, Great upgrade!

I personally would sit on the SSD and 16Gb of ram, and throw all the rest of your budget into the best graphics card you can afford.

NVME is mostly for kicks! Most SATA SSDs are plenty fast for most situations. If yours is big enough, keep it. If you need more space, buy NVME or a SATA SSD as its a little cheaper and simpler.

It might be tricky to add a NVME compatibility-wise on an old motherboard like yours and make sure it takes PCIe NVME m.2 sticks not just SATA m.2 sticks. But for real world performance, an NVME is not likely gonna see much of a gain.

Your ram, motherboard and SSD are fine performance-wise in your preferred realm of financial painlessness.

Its all cpu and gpu upgrades form here... enjoy maximizing still relevant 5 year old tech!

With cooler you can sell the 2700x around $120 on ebay which will net about $100 after shipping and fees. For $50 out of pocket its about a 20% uplift in performance.
The single thread speed it close to a 33% improvement. I would upgrade just for that. It speeds up a lot of tasks. Plus, more efficient.

Is the Wraith Stealth that comes with the 5600 any better with thermals than the RGB Wraith Spire that my old 1700 came with?
I can't say. It's just nice to get a free paperweight (wraith cooler). I use a 240mm AIO cooler. Otherwise you want 120mm or bigger air cooler.

Yes. Do it.

Thanks, it's on its way. Now, if only gpu prices come down with the new series coming up. I'll be looking for a 3070/3080 to pair with it.

No, the stealth is the worst of the three AMD coolers.
