For the graphics card your gonna pair this with, it's been proven that upto an rtx 3090 it doesn't really change the performance of the gpu. And this cpu is never gonna get paired with something that powerful. More likely something in the rtx 4060 range and it will in no way be effected by the pcie 3 speed.

Shown where? Everywhere I search says at 1080p, this cpu will limit even a 9060xt by 5-10%. A low end build is likely going to target a lower resolution like 1080p, which means its going to be more taxing on the cpu. I ended up going with a 7600x3d bundle from Microcenter when it was on sale for $300 which doesn't limit the gpu that gpu at all. Not a bad deal since woot had it for $250.

I kept debating getting this or a 5600 to upgrade my 2600. Everything I read basically said this was an OK upgrade to that, but the 5600 was better in several ways, the biggest being double the L3 cache which can make a huge difference. The PCI-e 3 vs 4 varies depending on resolution, motherboard and GPU.
I figured with the crazy memory prices and my use case, just a CPU and GPU upgrade would last me another 5 years.
I ended up keeping the same Asus AM4 motherboard, 32 gigs Gskill RAM, and found a Intel Arc B580 12gig and bumped my CPU budget to $200 and got a Ryzen 7 5800XT from Microcenter. I think this will easily last me another 5 years if not more.
I see the 5500 as a very entry level CPU to pair with an older card for a basic system. I don't see it as an upgrade CPU for any gaming system.

Thanks. I've been looking around at parts to upgrade my son's current gaming system, a 2600 on an Asus motherboard with an Rx570 8GB. The 5500 seems like a bit of a lateral move. Curious what you paid for the Arc B850 12GB?

With the other components being so much more expensive relatively to the CPU, it almost makes no sense to cheap out here and not get a 5600 at least, yeah.
