Ryzen 5 5600 or 5600x

I asked my mom to get me new CPU on Kid's day (Holiday mostly common in post-warsaw pact countries) but she sayed that she don't have money for it right now, but I seen that Ryzen 5 5600 is like 160 zł cheaper, so maybe I should choose it? As I heard there isn't really a big difference between those both CPUs

Their isn't too much of a difference between the 2, If you are trying to save a little bit of money, I'd go for the 5600, if they are near the same price, of course go with the 5600x. Some places do have the 5600x at pretty much the same price as the 5600.

Good Luck!

Ryzen 5600 and i3 12100F (/13100F) are the best budget picks . Ryzen 5600X is for overclocking , which involves expensive coolers and in practice is pointless nowadays .

What do you mean "budget" Picks? Those parts cost me a lot of money.
In my country 5 5600 costs the price of 3 AAA games

in my country Ryzen 5600 is 150 euro , Core i5 13100F - 95 euro , Ryzen 7600 - 250 euro . That s what i mean .No offence . My CPU is a budget one as well cuz i bought Windows 10 for 125 euro .

5600 or 5600G would be fine really

As I know 5600G pretty much sucks and is more for games like CSGO or LoL or other titles with graphics that low-end PCs don't have problems with

Ryzen 5600G is 16% slower than Ryzen 5600 , in gaming along with a dedicated GPU . Ryzen 5600G = Ryzen 5500 (but costs less) . Ryzen 5600 is more future proof .

You can get the 5600 for less than 120 USD or EUR these days. It's good value if you have a cooler at hand. 5600X is much trickier because its very close to 5700X pricing.
It's worth checking stores in other countries if you are in the EU.

When it comes to the 5600 or 5600X (and the same applies when deciding between the 5700X and 5800X), choose the lower one unless cost is almost the same. They are separated by only a couple % in performance so the higher one is only worth choosing if price is almost the same too.

Most of the time, at least in my locale/pricing, the 5600 (non-X) and 5700X is the better choices, as the 5600X and 5800X have a small premium.

5600, 5700X, 5800X3D, and to a lesser extent 5900X (but please not for gaming) are the "sweet spot" AM4 CPUs. The stuff below the 5600 is hardly worth looking at to be honest, because if you can't afford a 5600, I would say you're better off looking at used 3000 series parts. They will likely be much cheaper and won't be a whole lot slower than the 5500/5600G. The 3000 series are still fine options (just don't pay new prices for them).
