This processor cured my depression. Thank you AMD Lords for bringing this amazing technology to the world. This is one of the best processors in terms of price / performance for gaming. I bought the 3600 instead of the X because I didn't see the point of paying $50 more for a small performance upgrade and a letter. My old CPU was an amd fx 6300 which I bought 6 years ago for $100 along with a gtx 970. As you can imagine this would have been a huge CPU bottleneck in the 6 years I've been gaming. It worked, but I wasn't getting as many frames per second as I wanted in some games. Now that I've bought a Ryzen 5 3600 I've built a brand new computer and it works like a beast. My current 970 is weak when paired with a 3600. While I'm getting more frames than ever at 70, 80, 90, 100+ in many games, I know I could do a lot more with my GPU upgrade. $200 price tag, do yourself a favor and upgrade your 5 year old CPU. hp If you are planning to buy this processor, also buy the best AIO cooler/cooler. While AMD's stock coolers are much better than Intel's, the Stealth Spire cooler is good, but the 3600 gets very hot. I have a temperature of 50 degrees Celsius when idling and 70 degrees in games. If you're looking to extend the life of your CPU, I suggest getting a cheaper cooler like the Hyper evo 212, or a liquid cooler if that's your preference.
