I honestly cant tell whats trolling anymore. With that said, its a solid cpu which is very capable for gaming. It goes without saying you need a gpu that doesnt bottleneck it or vice versa. In my media pc I have this combined with a rx 7600 ($230 from Amazon last year) and it does 4k video with no effort and can run games like Cyber Punk at 1440p 100fps on high settings.

If you dont see apu in the title, you are going to need a gpu.

Kind of tempting. The last deal this went down to $99 and it's my understanding this and the 5600 (non X) are about the same.

I have this 5600X. Do NOT be persuaded by some Tuber's thinking you need 12 cores to do your computing chores. This cpu is very capable.

Wow, what a bargain! I have this paired with a 6950xt on my 4k TV and it runs great (yes I know the pairing is a bit lopsided, it was originally paired with a 3070)

Thing still bangs

So I upgraded to the non-x version of this CPU in January of this year and wow this thing rips. I got it for $120 on sale at amazon.

I have it paired with a 3060ti and nothing I play slows it down. BF2042, Cyberpunk, Alan Wake 2 all run flawlessly.

I've owned nothing but Intel for like 15 years but I gotta say these AMD CPUs eat Intel's lunch when it comes to gaming dollar for dollar. You just can't beat this CPU for gaming

God damn, it's getting hard to continue holding onto this old 4770k that I've been using forever. I've been holding out for the Strix CPUs but man....

Good deal for this processor, which is about all you need from an AM4 short of a 5800X3D if you wish to mix in productivity with your gaming and still save some money upgrading. Got the 5600X for $127 last year as part of a combo deal from Microcenter, no regrets. Tested it with a 4070 Ti Super and the setup benchmarked as well as a 3090. Pair this with a B450 motherboard and be satisfied with the savings if you don't need the latest to quell your gaming appetite.

How long do these deals generally last? I want to see if my local Microcenter can price match but I can't get there till Sunday most likely.

This would be a pretty large upgrade over that 2013 classic. Cheap to.

This is a great CPU that I got a couple years ago for ~$280. Very fast and will keep up for years, I think. This may be YMMV, but that wraith cooler will NOT properly cool this CPU from my experience. I bought a Vetroo V5 and it works well with it but it's an added expense.

Great processor. I upgraded to the 5800X3D (+ 3080 Ti) and moved this 5600X to my kid's rig (+ 3060) and it's a solid performer.
