WHAT EACH CHOICE ASKS OF YOU

What it brings and what to check

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X

What it brings

6 Zen 3 cores and 12 threads with up to 4.6 GHz boost and 32 MB of L3 cache, at a 65 W TDP.
Manufacturer source
Wraith Stealth cooler included, unlocked for overclocking with Ryzen Master support, and PCIe 4.0.
Manufacturer source

What to check

AMD's 5600X page doesn't list maximum memory capacity or ECC support; check the motherboard's specifications if you need large memory kits or ECC.
Manufacturer source
No integrated graphics, so a separate graphics card is required. It needs an AM4 motherboard with a compatible BIOS and DDR4 memory (rated up to 3200 MT/s).
Manufacturer source

AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT

What it brings

8 Zen 3 cores and 16 threads with up to 4.8 GHz boost and 32 MB of L3 cache; supports up to 128 GB of DDR4 and ECC memory on compatible motherboards.
Manufacturer source
Unlocked for overclocking with Ryzen Master support, and PCIe 4.0 with 20 usable CPU lanes.
Manufacturer source

What to check

AMD's 5800XT page doesn't say whether this boxed version includes a cooler; check the seller's listing and budget for one if not.
Manufacturer source
Memory speed depends on how many sticks you fit: DDR4-3200 with two, DDR4-2933 with four single-rank and DDR4-2667 with four dual-rank. It also needs an AM4 motherboard with a compatible BIOS and a separate graphics card.
