Think this is a pretty good deal. Not the lowest there has ever been for this processor though. Thought someone might like it.

But the motherboards are cheaper, so it evens out. Plus this makes more sense for someone upgrading their CPU from second/third gen Ryzen, rather than building a new system.
The competition is not intensive and both sides are keeping their price high on either CPU or motherboard.
Same between Nvidia and AMD in GPU.
Yeah it's an option to upgrade ryzen 2600 to this chip with existing b450
Yep and it'd be a big upgrade! One of the best things about AM4. Lets hope AM5 lives for just as long.
What are comparable mobo prices like? B660 vs B550 etc (assuming ddr4)
Google it. You have access to the same internet we do.
But that's not the Ozbargain way, we discuss our way through deals :)
@agro1942: Agreed, but what you're asking isn't opinion as prices fluctuate constantly, making the request just a bit lazy really lol. Upvoted your reply anyway :p
@Dvbargain: lol upvoted you too :P
and for proprietary not to be overly lazy, an instant google, first result (Umart):
B550 $109 https://www.umart.com.au/product/gigabyte-b550m-ds3h-am4-mat…
B660 $195 https://www.umart.com.au/product/gigabyte-b660m-ds3h-lga-170…clearly my non-scientific google does not compare features
@agro1942: All the info you need would be in the specs sheet there though - it's a good google ya did.
Problem with people's more opinionated responses on whether they're truly "equal" is that one bloke would have an AMD board 10 years ago break an Ethernet port so his opinion is forever tarnished haha
@BennyHe2018: The true "price floor" should be considered something with VRM heatsinks at minimum IMO, not the bottom bottom end. That appears to be more around $200 at the moment. If comparing to AM4 mobos without heatsinks it would be valid sure, but there are plenty of AM4 examples around $100 with those basics covered and far more.
@ethan961: Not only that. You need good VRMs because the Intel 12xxx series requires more power than AMD when boosting. You'd want your voltage and current circuits to be rock solid hence don't go for a bottom end board. There will be higher thermal load as well due to more power being consumed and need for good dissipation.
Does he now how do you know he does not have restricted monitored great wall of fire internet or worse divine internet.
I purchased this one using the same code. Works out to be about $206. Had good reviews. No wi-fi though.

Cheapest B550's are around $150
Cheaper B660's are around $200So many AMD fanboys around. Unless someone is upgrading with an existing AM4 platform, intel makes more sense at every price point atm.
Try $99 for a B550 (often even cheaper with sales) https://www.umart.com.au/product/gigabyte-b550m-h-am4-matx-m…
So many Intel fanboys too it seems..
@OzViper: There are at least three times that B550M-H dropped below $99. So in terms of motherboard cost, B550 wins.

I got an A520 (for 5600g budget PC) - $65 delivered in 2 days from Amazon

So clueless…You have no idea what you are talking about and your neg is unreasonable
yeah get a ryzen 7 or higher if you intend to get a nvidia 3080 or higher. Ryzen 5s appear to bottle neck the good graphics cards.
Yep.. Seems to be 5800X if going 3080 or above.
Personally I would reach for the 5900X or 5950X if there was an insane sale.
Depends on what resolution you are running.
1080p definitely. 1440p or 4k are GPU bounded.
Really depends. Not really true at 1440p or above
Also 5800x runs much much hotter, so if noise and thermals are an issue it's a no brainer to get 5600x
I have the 5800x I run 3 fan water cooling never goes above 65 degrees at full load it all depends on your pc setup and cooling configuation also you need to tweak it so it doesn't keep agressively overclock (default mode) find the happy balance and make sure you have very good water cooling and it will work perfect at cool temps.
Most people won't have a big watercooling setup, for sure 5800x is better if you have the case for it and spending money on cooling
Damn, I bought mine for $430 a few months back. This is a good deal and a good CPU. You definitely need to manually tweak the overclock voltage settings as kungfuman said about the 5800x. My 5600x ran ridiculously hot out of the box… Currently running it at 4.5Ghz, 1.1v and it never goes above 65°C using my old Cooler Master Hyper 212x heatsink.
i5-12400f is available for $290 at the moment. At worst equal to the 5600x, at best it's Golden cove cores pull it far ahead. Due to it being clocked lower than the high end models, power efficiency is on par with the Ryzen as well.
Cheapest B550's are around $150 - amd mbo
Cheaper B660's are around $200 - intel moboSo many AMD fanboys around. Unless someone is upgrading with an existing AM4 platform, intel makes more sense at every price point atm.
If you're goin to step up to $385 for worse performing Ryzen 5, why not pay $430 for a 12600kf with with 20% faster single and 50% faster multi core scores.
YES, there will always be something better coming in the future. Intel 13th gen will come soon, be beaten by Ryzen 7000 and then intel will release 14th gen within 6 months to try compete. It will be hard for intel to compete once AMD gets onto TSMC5nm.
So you’ve made the point for why this is a good price “if someone is on the am4 platform already” otherwise yes new gen intel is better value when speaking of the cpu alone … possibly until new gen amd come around.
Still I don’t think the deal should be negged as it’s a viable option for those with an am4 and wanting a cpu upgrade. I own a 5600x … first amd platform I’ve been on so no I’m not a fanboy. I paid more than this and I’d recommend it to anyone who is looking to upgrade. I would however recommend intels 12th gen or even 10th in some scenarios (like new builds)for bang for buck (how weird is it to say that)… but I’d never tell anyone it’s a mistake if they have their mind made up about amd, it’s a good product and this is a good price for it just not a competitive price vs newer gen intel.
I agree with what you've said. It is hard to justify recommending someone spend $380 for a 5600x which may be 20% better than their 3000 series.
I honestly think this deal only potentially makes sense for 3100 owners or 2000 series owners which have a motherboard that can support 5600x and its features. But then you can question whether your cpu that bad that you can't wait a couple more years. Should a cpu purchased within the last 2 years really be upgraded? I just think in most scenarios I can't think of a good reason to buy this, it's at too weird of a price point.
This cpu should really be $300 or less for me to think it's honestly a good deal. It's like how a year old iPhone 12 may have a $400 discount but you'd still recommend an iPhone 13 for the double battery life or an iPhone 11 for a cheaper alternative.
Dude, read the rules for a valid downvote. none of what you said is a valid reason.

Can I downvote a post if I dont agree with the price of the Airpod Max, when I think the sony xm4 is better value?
Thoughts on this for a new build vs a 5600g? I'm looking at userbenchmark and only see about 5% difference vs 5600x. For 1080p gaming will there a be an actual noticeable difference?
With a 5600g now going around the 330 mark it would be fine if you still had to get a GPU later. Really wish the 5700g would drop in price as it's showing a dead heat with the 5600x now.
Don't really have an opinion on the Intel 12xxx series just yet. I'll wait one more gen on the E/P core that Intel is doing before making a judgement, let the OS and Game makers get used to tuning it and making it stable first.
As for GPUs to pair with the 5600X.
1080p - RTX 3050 or RX 6500 XT
1440p - RTX 3060 or RX 6600 XT
4K - I doubt I'd get this processor, instead opting for a 5900X. Then RTX 3070/3080 / RX 6700/6800 (wallet screaming in pain the whole way).I really think you should consider an intel 12400f or 12100f and spend the extra saved on the highest end amd GPU you can afford (nvidia is almost always worse price to perf). The 6600xt seems pretty amazing.
Look at my comment above, I really don't think Ryzen 5600x is worth it atm.
I went through the same questions and then I went with a 5600X at $385 instead of the 5600g at $330. The 5700g does not make a lot of sense. At 1080p it does make a difference in FPS from what I researched, but then again I am not playing at 1080p. I already had a GPU so the iGPU in it did not impact me that much, that is why I went with a 5600X. If I would not have had the GPU then I would have gone for the 5600g. Intel may also be an option, I just do not like the throwaway motherboards.
Also take a look at the b450 motherboard, honestly, they make more sense on a budget compared to the B550.
If it matters to you. the 5600X supports PCI 4, while the 5600G only supports PCI3..
If you are getting a dedicated GPU now, I would lean towards the 5600X.
If you wanted to delay your GPU purchase then the 5600G or 5700G would be the way to go
Shopback offers 7% amazon cash back so it's cheaper to buy form Amzon
Still much more expensive than 12400f.
