I went with the frugal part in me.

5600G, Kingston Fury 2x8gb 3200, used asrock b550m pro4, mushkin nvme, with new case and 500w PSU. Less than $450 for 1080p old school gaming.

Does it go that low?! It's killer value.

Still holding the line to pick one up for a budget PC build.

Do you have a budget build lined up? I am thinking of doing a budget build but was initially looking at the 12th Gen Intel 12400. Never used AMD before.

yeah, I'm planning an AMD 5600G with 16GB RAM (3200 overclocked to 3600) and 1TB SSD with a basic 450 board. Can build it with all new parts, for around $450. Will be slower than the intel build, but don't expect to be CPU limited and its cheaper. No discrete GPU initially, 5600G can do 1.7 tflops and it's a family PC.

Should be about as powerful as a M1 MBA ($1800 for the same specs) and 2/3 the power of my M1 Pro MBP. I will add a GPU when I see the perfect deal.

It's just a guess though take it with a grain of salt. The Ryzen 2700 back in the day went nearly down to 100 bucks as well. I think the lowest was like 105 or so. But I can see some of these Ryzen go nutz on Black Friday. I see the 5800x under 200 bucks.

5800x under $200 would be killer. Maybe $25 in the total system cost may not be worth waiting 2.5 months. It's a new build. Going from 0 to 1. If it was an upgrade and I was going from .8 to 1, def would wait.

We should have the new Ryzen 7000 series out by then. So I m sure they want to blow of some old inventory at that time. But yeah I think we if we get to see BF we get to see some amazing PC Part pricing.

I am really torn by these excellent AMD prices already. I am building a secondary budget PC and was planning to go Intel because it actually provides an upgrade path to 13th gen once released. AMD's new 7000 series require new motherboards and only supports DDR5 so if you buy one of these CPUs then you're stuck within the 5000 series line up of CPUs for upgrading unless you want to drop a bunch more cash in the future for new board and ram.

The logical part in me thinks future upgradability with Intel is a smart move for a budget PC, while the frugal part of me sees all the power I can get now for cheap with AMD by sacraficing future upgradability. EEK!

Yes, should not be an issue at all. This is quite a powerful 6 core APU. I replaced my 3700X + NVidia 1660 with just the 5600G and have been super happy with it so far. My computer was randomly rebooting with the 3700X and the video card. Has been rock solid since I switched to the 5600G.

if you have plex pass, you can use intel quicksync which does a great job transcoding (especially starting coffee lake and up).

if you don't, while most people will NOT recommend transcoding 4k (try to stick with direct play), for software transcoding (based on cpu passmark), this cpu does have a high enough passmark to comfortably do a single 4k transcode (or two depending on the quality/bitrate).

The 12400 is faster, supports pcie 4.0 and 5.0, and has a platform with an upgrade path. Its the better buy, unless youre solely after IGP gaming performance, than the 5600g is better.

Not recommended, Plex officially only supports QuickSync (Intel) and Nvidia.
