AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT 6-core, 12-threads unlocked desktop processor with Wraith Spire cooler

Good alternative when the stock 3600 was out of stock and the 3600X apparently cost more than this one. Runs a bit hot with the Wraith Prism so get a decent cooler

I have always used Intel for my builds but the wife needed a new computer and didnt want to spend a ton of loot.

nothing else to say, paired with 5700 8gb GPU, COD averages 120 fps, settings at high

When this first launched it was a good bit more expensive than the 3600/X, making it not worth the cost. But now it is only marginally more expensive, making it totally worth it, imo.

But from my research it was within specs. 50-80C, idle to gaming. Added this fan:

Very gud

Pair with high quality ram and its unbeatable value.

AMD - Is currently the king.

Bought this for my first build to replace an old Lenovo K450e, which Ive been using for work and gaming. I decided to go the AMD route after watching a lot of PC-building videos on YouTube. I wasnt disappointed and would recommend this CPU or maybe even a Ryzen 7 or 9, but those are a little pricey.

Incompable with 3600mhtz ram
