Biggest negative is pcie gen3 support only. Otherwise these run cold and sip power.

I am considering the same upgrade path. Though the 2200G and the 580 have been a great combo so far.

Faster than anything 1st or 2nd Gen Ryzen. Don't forget to use Curve Optimizer and PBO with a good cooler.

I replied in more detail above, but that logic makes sense at 1440p and above. At 1080p this will bottleneck a stronger GPU.
I use the 5500 with a 6600xt and get a pretty significant cpu...

It's plenty for most any game. Spend more on your graphics card.

The B550 will be the best chipset to look for. Look for the cheapest one that has the features you want and go with that. Don;t get the cheapest but maybe 1 tier above that. So somewhere in the...

Yes. As long as your motherboard has a Bios that supports the 5500 this should be a nice inexpensive drop in replacement for 1600. The PCI-E 3 limitation and memory speed limits are a lot less likely...

It's a huge improvement over the 1600. Make sure you have the right motherboard BIOS to support a newer 5000 series.

I have a 5500 paired with a 6700xt. It’s a decent combo and runs most of the games I play at 1440p on high settings. One oddity is that I play a lot of CS2 and I prefer to play at 1080p, but I...

It's the same chip sans iGPU. Fast enough for an RX 6600. (I'd try to look for a used 5600 since those are flooding the market from Asian gaming cafes.)

Would this be a good replacement for my 5600G? I want to pair 5500 with RX6600 and build another PC with 5600G for my father in law. He will use it only for youtube and light gaming. I don't have the...

Currently the 5600 is $135 on Amazon. That’s a $50 difference.
If that’s “so little more” then why not add another $50 and get a 5700x at $175. It goes on…
While I’d never personally buy this...

Look up benchmarks and game reviews. The 5500 does surprisingly better mainly because singer core performance is quite a bit better
