Half the L3 cache of the Ryzen 7 3700x... It has 16MB, while the 3700X has 32MB. Low amounts of L3 cache causes lower FPS and lower 1% lows.
2 cores / 4 threads less than the 3700X.
Your observation is correct, but not an apples to apples scenario.
PCIe speed only matters if you're other hardware can take advantage of it.

The one interesting and important fact is this runs PCIE 3.0 whereas mine runs PCIE 4.0.
So all PCIE devices (4.0 or 5.0) will fit still but run at 3.0 speeds.
Also my CPU would have been a bottleneck for any good GPUs, so perhaps this will too.

You could show off your cool RGB RAM with this case.

5500 CPU cost around $80
motherboard cost around $90
cooler cost around $40
makes $380 for the parts , so its an DEAL yes but is it smart to buy an 4 year old mediocre CPU its questionable
add $50 for an cheap Case and $50 for an cheap PSU
1 TB SSD adds another $120
GPu ARC B580 with 12 GB add another $320
total system would be $ 800, still crazy if you compare it to before AI RIP EVERYONE OFF BOOM

Is it just me, or is there never a buyer's market for PC parts lol. Seriously I don't think there was a buyer's market in the past 20 years.

I'm not trying to be a jerk because I get it too. A year ago, I wouldn't have recommended this cpu to many. Today, I've purchased two for budget builds.
previous gen, budget cpus, using ddr4 are going to be the standard until we are priced out of that.
got about the same amount of beef on there as here.
for my scenario it was a "deal"
i had a case with a motherboard/cpu/ram from 2012 along with a newer power supply and plenty of ssds on hand.
so for $255 i brought an old retro gaming pc/HTPC up to date.
SO, not a "deal" for everyone, but for me it worked out.

X5 Case $60
PSU $40 used
GPU 3050 $180 used
Combo $265
SSD free from one of my old builds
It was awesome building it with him. He worked hard for the money and did his research on each component and shipped around. The microcenter sales person tried to upsell him a much nicer case for $20 more. Little man didn't budge. Said, no this is my budget and I really need to stuck to it.
He absolutely loves it.
I got 2 more sticks of matched ram off eBay for $75 each that we're going to give him for his birthday.
