I bought this processor along with a B550 Tomahawk for $450 on the best day and it works very well. I ran Prime 95 (CPU stress test) under the toughest conditions with Hyper 212 Black RGB cooler and Paste Arctic Silver 5. 84C on the toughest Prime 95 test. I was concerned about thermals since the cooler I'm using isn't as expensive as some Scythe or AIO coolers, but that really wasn't an issue. If you can get this processor for around $300, it's very competitive with the recently released 5600x.
