Ryzen 5 5600G $165 @ Amazon

I will pimp this APU to shoppers yet again. 😛

B550 boards can be found for sub $100 now NIB. Also, unlike the main competition at the price level, the 12400, it can be overclocked. My 5600g did 4.7GHz all core simply by selecting game mode in the MSI UEFI. And of course the iGPU, if you are using it, is much faster for gaming, and is overclockable as well.

One caveat - remember it is PCIE 3.0 so a RX 6400 or 6500 is a bad pairing for it. Besides they would bottleneck it pretty hard.

What MB would you suggest for this chip? I haven't built a PC since 2015 and at this price point I think it might be time to upgrade/build a new PC. I currently have an EVGA RTX 2060 12gb, Corsair Vengeance 16gb ram (2x8gb @ 3200) and i'll be grabbing this processor for my new build. I don't care about RGB and all those other bells and whistle add-ons. Thanks.

You don't have to spend a lot to fully leverage the 5600g since it is a 88W package power CPU.

I have bought a couple of refurbs direct from MSI on Ebay and had great luck so far. Both came like new despite the disclaimer about not being retailed boxed and possible missing stuff. 6 month warranty is long enough to know if the board is solid. Here is the newer MAX version of the B450 Tomahawk I was using with mine, for $90 shipped.

MSI has some x570 refurbs there that are inexpensive too.
 
They are all going to fall even more. Not a great deal more but they will drop.

5600G was $137 the other day. I forget where.
 
May have grabbed the last of the Amazon-shipped ones at $132.19, they now seemed to have upped the price back to $150+ (actually, it just seems to be going back and forth between the lower and upper prices, maybe after a sale). There's still the cheaper option sold by Ibushak, but they charge $15 shipping... I will build a 2.5Gb Linux router with this CPU, have nearly all the hardware I need already, probably still a performance overkill for this purpose, but can't resist the price...
