I’ve been running the 5600X for a while now, paired with 32GB of RAM and an RTX 2060 Super, and honestly, it still holds up really well.
Performance wise, it’s fast. I game, do a bit of music stuff, run loads of tabs, and it’s never skipped a beat. Single core speed is solid, and it handles multitasking better than you’d expect from a 6 core chip.
Thermals are decent on the stock Wraith Stealth cooler, but it can get a bit warm and noisy under load. Fine for normal use, but I’d swap it out if you’re doing long sessions or care about noise.
Overall, it’s a great chip. Cheap now, runs anything I need it to, and hasn’t bottlenecked my GPU. AM4’s basically done at this point, but if you’re building on a budget or upgrading your setup it’s still a top pick.

Great cpu, works very well. You will need to find someone to install it if you don't know how to do it yourself.
