Community Reviews

This bundle is mainly a low-cost entry into a Ryzen 5 5500 and B450M build, with RGB memory and thermal paste included. The price looks less compelling next to newer AM5 and B650 deals, and the motherboard is an older 2018-era platform with PCIe 3.0 only. Expansion is limited, with the second slot capped at PCIe 2.0, though the x4 slot is still better than a PCIe 3.0 x1 slot. Rising DDR4 prices also make the memory portion harder to value, so it fits best as a budget stopgap.

Common Questions (4)

  • Yes. DDR4 pricing has risen sharply, with 32GB and 64GB kits described as much more expensive than recent prices, and current RAM inflation is expected to stay elevated for a while. That makes bundles with only 16GB less compelling if you need to upgrade soon.

    leechungsrtrzaThe_Love_Spudcapnshiner

  • The bundle is older hardware: the motherboard dates to around 2018, and the Ryzen 5 5500 is a 6+ year old CPU. For about $100 more, a B650 + Ryzen 5 9600X setup is a much newer AM5 platform and the 9600X is significantly faster.

    bk2002leechungsrCrawlinB

  • Yes. The B450 board and Ryzen 5 5500 are PCIe 3.0 only, and the main practical limitation is that the second slot is limited to PCIe 2.0. The board does include an x4 slot, which is faster than a PCIe 3.0 x1 slot, but expansion options are otherwise limited.

    Teaser38ghostfreckle

  • Yes, the bundle includes thermal paste. It can be useful because it may be better than the paste included in AMD retail CPU boxes, and it also helps clear out old stock.

You aren't kidding. I scored 32GB for ~$36 after AMEX 30% off about 6 weeks ago. It went on back order after I purchased. Waiting 6 weeks for it to be delivered while RAM prices were going up near every day was nerve wracking. Would have cost me at least 3x more if Amazon didn't come through in the end.

The only real limitation going with a B450 (vs B5x0) board with a 5500 is the 2nd slot is limited to PCIe 2.0. In this case, at least you get an x4 slot which is faster than an 3.0 x1 slot. This board's expansion options are very limited otherwise.

Yea for the extra 100 it's worth it for newer AM5 and 9600x blows the 5500 out the water

There are two actions at play, and unfortunately they both are likely to mean that RAM is joining GPUs as a constraint for price-conscious PC builders.
  • RAM manufacturers seeing higher demand for DDR5 memory are both:
    • Taking higher margins on an increasingly constrained supply of DDR5
      (current demand is high while supply is low, so DDR5 manufacturers have pricing power)
    • Shutting down DDR4 production to shift to DDR5
      (a key factor being the aforementioned profitability)
https://www.notebookcheck.net/Insane-DDR5-and-DDR4-RAM-inflation-results-in-2x-or-more-price-increase-from-record-lows-and-it-is-likely-to-get-worse.1156635.0.html

Good luck!

And then you add DDR5 to that and a cooler and you're easily spending at least twice this much. Not everyone has 400...some people only have 200 and are using an intel 4th gen. Who the hell are YOU to gate keep?
