Yes and yes

1600 can overclock and comes with a cooler

AM4 mobos are 50 dollars off at microcenter if you get it with any ryzen 5 or 7. 6 cores and 12 threads is a steal for similar IPC to an i5. I7s are more worthwhile when you get that the 300 dollar price range though since it's at least 8 threads

1600 is the only one worth buying, the rest is amd trash

It was a great thread and I never got a concise answer. I'm on a $800 budget and I don't know what to do.

I heard both sides and I'm at a crossroads. I haven't been AYMD since my phenom II.

At that price range absolutely go Ryzen. Best CPUs in value gaming right now.

It works for gaming? yes.
Should you get one for gaming? no.

>>381020583
The Ryzen 5 1600 is the best value for midrange builds, without question, whether you're gaming or not.

>>381020583
Ryzen 1600 or 1700 are da best in bang for buck and better than Intel's CPUs in the same range.
From what I've seen, those won't be Athlon days. Those will be better.
