unless you've maxed out your budget, get the 5600 for $120ish when it comes back on sale shortly

Nope, this should be $60 or bundled with a b450 for $100. AMD and retailers did us dirty at the lower end in the last 2 years and gatekeeping from upgrading from Zen/Zen+. The 5500 $159 and 4600 $129 didn't make sense at all at their insanely high MSRP. These are $60 and $80 parts.

With all the other deals we've seen on AM4 CPUs, I just can't see how this could be a good deal for someone.

Would have been a good deal a few months ago but now, agreed.

5500 is a dollar cheaper with similar performance. The 3600 actually comes with a better stock cooler and has PCIe 4.0. Still a hard sell compared to the much better 5600.

It's an arguably amazing CPU, but that Micro Center deal definitely set the bar.

Good luck!

Any good cheap combos out there? I'm currently needing to replace a HTPC in the living room rocking a i5 4690 LGA 1150 mobo.

I'm actually happy with this current setup for basic needs but trying to keep it cheap.

if you have micro center near you then yes

The recommended solution is optimal in many ways because not only will you get a performance and efficiency boost, but you're also doing so within a power envelope that is likely lower than your current configuration (so no added stress to your power supply). As a bonus, the Wraith cooler is exceptionally quiet. My own implementation of this CPU/motherboard upgrade was for my own video/projector PC. Do consider that you will have to budget for a RAM upgrade as well.

Good luck!

Don't get this, get the bundle linked somewhere in this thread. You can use the promo code with that to bring it down to 100 ish for this plus mobo combo. Also the 5600 is regularly 120 on sale (I believe it is now) so if you want a standalone cpu get that.
