My Ryzen 5 5600G Budget PC build (Links Below)

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.

I'm using R5 5600G for gaming plus editing, and this R5 5600G is really a beast for a CPU including his iGPU.. save a lot of money to save until then i can pair it now with RX6700XT and damn it's more and more good for me personal.

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.

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.

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

[dgillies]

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 YouTube 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!!!

Hello Ray do u think a HP pc with 5600g is good for school and casual use in 2024?

[IncApu]

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. ❤

[stevepatrick]

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.

hi, by chance if I have to record and play minecraft in 1080p 60 fps and then I have to edit the videos with the new video editing style, does this processor allow me to do it? (Minecraft, badlion client low setting 8 chunk)

[jumbo]

Is it still great for Dead Space remake? I want to play it in Full HD with no lagging.

[chacholptico]

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 😂.

[LMHop]

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?

[hansantony]

Is it good choice to pair 5600g with rx 6700xt? Or will it bottleneck?

[Writingmyfuture]

How much vram did he allocate for the apu??? I wonder if he left it untouched? At default. Note it can be changed in mobo settings

[alysuhail]

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.

[GRIZZLY]

Is this pc good for just working on my animation unreal engine and video editing?
