AMD Ryzen 5000 South African pricing

Yes, my bad, gaming only....

If you were only gaming, you'd be wasting your money on a 5900X or 5950X - those are more workstation orientated skews.

At almost a third of the cost of a 5950X, the 5600X is best bang for your buck for gaming performance.

Basically, yes, pending on your workload (and use case).

All I want is this: B550, 5600X, 5800 XT and 32GB DDR4 (4x8).

GN used 3200MHz C14 which pretty much beat all the higher memory speeds. So it looks like it's best to get low latency memory.

Agree here about the 5600x, but if you're only gaming and looking to save a few bucks, I'd wait for the 5600 and invest the difference in the GPU

My 5900X is on the way! Decided to go for the 5900X instead of 5950X because my 3900X is doing okayish and probably time to upgrade my GTX 1070. Maybe Big Navi but sacrificing CUDA and will have to learn OpenCL. But Big Navi cards just have loads and loads more RAM.
