Finding an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X available at (or even close) to its $299 MSRP these days is getting slightly easier.
Don't get me wrong, this processor has become an incredibly popular choice for anyone looking to grab a no-compromise gaming chip on a budget, which means there's plenty of competition for its limited stock. But more recently, availability seems to be growing
Earning 4.5 stars in our AMD Ryzen 5 5600X review, this chip is so highly sought after, because of its strong single- and multi-threaded performance, leading power efficiency and PCIe Gen4 support. It also features stellar thermals, a bundled cooler and overclocking capability, so there’s a lot to love here.
