Note this is a 5600g with the built in graphics disabled so this shares all the same limitations. Less cache, slower PCI-E slots etc. This isn't a bad price or a bad processor but past deals have been as low as $80 and deals on the 5600 or 5600g have been pretty close to this price too. Not a bad option for someone upgrading from an earlier ryzen system where the MB probably doesn't even support faster PCI-E slots but you can probably get this cheaper or a better processor for a similar price if you wait.

Edit

Looks like amazon has this cheaper if want this processor. $86.99 after coupon currently.

Awesome timing. I just ordered a 5600G this morning for ~$125 on amazon. I have a dedicated GPU so by cancelling my amazon order and getting this I saved $25. Thanks OP!

And then cancelled the BB order and reordered from amazon for even more savings. Thanks kpb321

PS the amazon link didn't work, but i found it here: https://www.amazon.com/AMD-5500-1...B09VCJ171S
