AMD Ryzen 5600 CPU – $175

Lots of deals to be had on ryzen 5000 CPUs right now but I believe the 5600 at $175 to be the best bang for your buck for gaming if you don’t run any CPU intensive tasks. Significantly cheaper than a 5600x with only a minor decrease in performance.

I got one as a relatively cheap upgrade to extend the life on my am4 motherboard for another few years.
