AMD Ryzen 5 5500
AMD Ryzen 5 5500
The Ryzen 5 5500 is what I used to make the $1,000 build work in the current market. It’s not the dream CPU choice, but it’s cheap enough that I can keep the GPU strong, which matters more for gaming performance at this budget.
Buy on Geni
You'll be taken to Geni to complete your purchase.
Pros
- +Very affordable and frees budget for the GPU
- +Works with cheaper DDR4 memory on B550
Cons
- -Older platform and weaker upgrade path than AM5
- -Not the ideal pick if you can stretch to a newer CPU
