AMD Ryzen 5 5600G vs AMD Ryzen 9 5900X

0 solid-state boot drive paired with a Samsung SSD 860 QVO SATA secondary drive. The processor was cooled using the Wraith Stealth air cooler included in the box.

I did like that. You know intel. They stopped giving us uh cpu coolers, which theirs were pretty horrible. Um on their processors and amd, did give yo...

I did go into the bios and i overclocked this to 4.5 gigahertz on all six cores. Remember the base boost clock on this is 4.4, so we're over that boos...

That's an 800 16 core 32 thread cpu. Now we're stepping down one tier to the 5900x, which is a 12 core 24 thread cpu priced at 550. This is a follow-u...

The Intel I5 11400 with B560 motherboard is probably a better value at the moment but consumes a little more power and does not offer much in the way of upgrade path. Keep in mind that any Intel "k" series processor does not have integrated graphics.

Extra 65 Watt should be for GPU and no need to have a CPU burning 170W. I do not see any additional power over 5900X being useful at additional wattage. 6900XT and 5900X is warming up my room pretty high already. It became uncomfortable during Summer

Power Supply i'd go with a bstock from Evga during midweek madness which will set you back about $60-$70 for a 850 GQ, you could go lower for sure and probably net a 650 GQ for $40-$50. You can get a sk hynix 1tb s31 gold for about $105 and 2x8 PC3200 corsair RAM for $89. Give or take around $688 compared to $500 - quite a leap depending on how much of that stuff you can get on sale you'll come much closer but the biggest price leap is actually the jump up to the 5600g (which I would hope is a dramatic improvement in both processing and graphics). Overall the performance boost with those specs compared to what you listed above for give or take $180 more

If you're looking to build a new PC and want something ultra-fast with a high core count, look no further. Unless you need to have the latest PC parts, you will find no better value than the 5900X, especially at the current $359! This is an insane price on a CPU that will, easily, be relevant for another 4-5 years, and probably even beyond that.

I was a little weirded out by that, but the seller came through and the chip is legit and arrived brand new in box with stock cooler, instructions, and foil badge sticker. You should pair this APU with a good mobo and memory. I chose the MSI B550 MPG Gamer Edge WiFi, and TeamGroup DDR4 3600. The mobo will be critical in determining your possible upgrade paths, and the memory is used by the AMD APUs to help with the graphics

If the motherboard is using an older BIOS version, upgrading the BIOS will be necessary to support the CPU". I'm not that experienced in building PC's, only done once before.
