Just replaced my old Intel NUC7i5 and put together a desktop mATX with the Ryzen 5 5600G (last time I built a computer was in 2001) Really impressed with the performance. The setup all in all with 16GB of 3666mhz DDR4 memory and a 1TB m.2 SSD set me back about $500, and that is including a not so budget friendly SFX power supply due to a miss-order and an ax211 that simply didn't work with the motherboard. Take that and consider it was all purchased on the Swedish market where everything is more expensive and I'd say it was a very good deal. Great video Ray, keep it up!
I built a Ryzen 5600G based system just over a year ago and haven't had any gaming issues at all, plus I saved a lot not having to buy a graphics card.
Not the OP but I have had a 5600g for maybe 4 months now, I haven't had any heating issues, in fact it's very cool, typically the highest temps I get would be maybe 40c, my laptop runs hotter with an r3 3250u@@venti_lover
@@OnceYT. Are you talking to me? I have stuck with the integrated graphics, I generally can play pretty much anything aat low settings and on medium to high for old games, I am using an old monitor without very high res (xga) so it's not super demanding on graphics anyway

I have a Ryzen 5600g pc for almost a year that I bought for 425CAD. I really like it overall. Sure, its igpu doesn't match my other pc with a gtx1050ti but I don't really play aaa games nowadays because they're just take too much space on my drives and I only have 1080p/60hz displays. At least its igpu is powerful enough to play most Nintendo Switch & Playstation 3 emulated games at almost full speed.
I love my 5700g. Compared to 5600g it has 14% more graphics CUs and 2 extra cores and is/was the least expensive 5000-series 8-core cpu .. I watched a CZcams video about gen 3 vs Gen 4 vs. Gen 5 nvme pcie game loads. 26s vs 24s vs 23.5s. it's very minor difference far smaller then the hype about 2x peak read-write throughput!!! If you have $650 get the minis forum m780 it's got a Ryzen 7840hx and the igpu is 50% faster!!!
yeah nice dream for those on a budget!!!! $400 price point you can t go wrong with 5600/5700g. $600 gets you the minis PC's with monster performance. apu's are the budget target, alternatively look in the used gpu market.....$180 could probably get you used miner rtx 2070/3060ti. that's a nice bump with a good processor
AMD Ryzen 5 5600G ASUS TUF GAMING B550-PLUS 16GB RAM EVGA SuperNOVA 750W G5 80+ Would be the best GPU to pair with, as I'm wanting to replace my old GPU
5600g= great value, affordable decent motherboard if you pick up a b450 12400f= willing to spend a bit more, but more expensive decent motherboards Imo 5600g is the winner at this price point. In a year or two the 7500f will take its place but not until ddr5 gets to the same price as current ddr4 ram and b650m boards drop in price
For the prices these things are going at now, it wakes WAY more sense than AM5 builds. the 5600G/5700G are decent cpu's in their own right.perfect for SFF builds.The 5700G really isn't that far off the 5700x in real world apps,and the 2 extra cores is a bit of future proofing.These are also really good if you have serious power bills you need to keep an eye on. I would still go dedicated CPU+GPU combo if you can afford it, but if you're on a real tight budget you can't go wrong with these. with AM4 motherboards $60-80, RAM dirt cheap, SSD Dirt cheap, you can actually make a build at $300-400 which covers most bases with APU if you can stretch the extra $100, then you have a ryzen 5 5500/5600 + rx6600 which will cream it in gaming 1080p.
I'm building up a mini itx rig with the Ryzen 5 5600G as my third general-purpose, " just in case" equipment and a portable one with InWin Chopin normal, no pro or max, the one with the 150 watts power supply unit. ❤
i am using a ryzon 5 5600g paired with a gtx3060 on a x570 motherboard with nvme m.2 2tb and it handles everything i throw at it and if anything happens to my gpu i can fall back on integrated graphics to keep my pc working no brainer really.
Im building a 5600G SteamBox for when i travel my to dad`s place. Im building it using 32GB 3600 DDR4 kit on ASUS TUF Gaming A520M-PLUS (WiFi) with JONSBO CR1400 COLOR CPU Cooler H126mm. I believe it will perform juste fine in 1080p low/medium.
I just built one of these list night for my wife's pc and absolutely its OK. My wife use's her pc mostly for crafting and makes her own designs etc and her older i5 was just not cutting it so I decided on this cpu since no gpu is needed. I put fortnite and valorant on it today and its certainly playable at 1080 you just cant crank the settings up, fortnite in performace mode at med settings around 120 fps at 1080 , valorant 1080 med settings getting 250fps. I used a b550 (with wifi) and 32 g ddr4 3200mhz ram with a wd blue 1tb m.2 and a 500 watt psu. I went with a nicer case, 32g ram bronze rated psu and 1 tb m.2 and the 550 board. If you went with a lesser case, 16g ram, say a apiva psu and 512g m.2 and a b450 mother board you could easily build this for like $325 to $350. I'm $427 all in on mine. The b450 is ok to use since the ryzen 5 5600g doesn't support pcie 3 anyway but I wanted to leave a upgrade path and possibly go to a ryzen 7 down the road. Good luck with it !
I just bought it to reuse some old parts and give a Mini pc to my wife and son. 116€ (canary island tax) to have my computer free is totally worth It 😂.
on its own obviously the built-in graphics are not much the whole point here is to pair it with a proper graphics card, after that its a different story.
For only $50 more currently, with this exact motherboard, would the Ryzen 7 5700G be a better option? Or is the Ryzen 5 5600G better for this motherboard. I do already have a MSI GTX 1660 Super graphics card. I use the PC for streaming only (no gaming), and with the graphics card in OBS at highest quality, it still is barely better than x264 at veryfast quality. I am hoping to be able to get to x264 medium. What would you suggest?
ryzen 5700g is fine! keep your 1660 super. it still has nvenc encoders if you're doing streaming. better than h264/h265. your next upgrade really should be the gpu if you stream. AV1 capable for sure
@@bigmacntings7451 I got my 5600G with 16GB Mem. But with windows 10 and opening a youtube page. Its very slow. Takes 3 secs to load a standard youtube web page. Im guessing that its a graphics thing. And that the Graphics in the AMD chip really sucks. Im still need a good graphics card.
@@africantwin173 could be your storages or RAM causing your system to be slow. I would try clearing/deleting your temp files first. If that doesn’t work you may want to look at getting faster RAM.

Careful with the motherboard, check its AM socket first. You might gonna upgrade everything. I'm just like you. Revisiting PC parts shop every decade or so. I upgrade my DDR3 system into DDR5. This is because many of incompatible with my old motherboard. Ryzen5 5600G is AM4 and AM5 compatible. So if your mother board is AM3, you gonna bit the bullet and gonna start buy a new motherboard, then you gonna need compatible SSD and RAM for the mobo. Making only the PSU and casing as the everlasting part.
I mean if you don't have enough money to buy a good graphics card you can always buy a graphics card later down the line that's what it's meant for and yes just remember you're not going to push it to the top high levels you're going to push just a medium and low settings and you can wait to buy a graphics card maybe next month or 2 months later

It should work, obviously the motherboard is a factor. I have an older AM4 board that simply can't run stable with RAM faster than 3266. Not a real problem for me but something to be aware when you try to enable the 3600 speed.
I use the 5600 in a prebuilt computer and i can barely get 50 fps on anything even on the lowest settings and struggle with lag a lot. Is there something I could do or is it simply how it is
don't need to go mad with thermal paste!!!.... I wouldn't use the preloaded stuff on the cpu, but I'm not going full on conductanaught. A decent widely available paste like mx5 is all you need for these. it's not being tweaked senseless is it? even the stock cooler is sufficient (albeit a bit noisy)....i guess that is one recommendation i would make.if you have an old amd apu spire cooler, use that it's virtually silent.
