Pros

  • for not much more, like $10 USD or so, you can upgrade your CPU to a Ryzen 5 9600 instead. By no means is this really needed, but it'll put you on the latest AMD generation at least.
  • that ryzen 5 7600 or 9600 w/ the am5 and ddr5 instead of am4 and ddr4 to me makes for a more modern system..
  • Newegg - type in search bar “Ram combo” select the one with the 2x8gb Teamgroup ddr5 ram; msi b850 gaming mobo, and Ryzen 5 9600 cpu.
  • CPU | [AMD Ryzen 5 9600 3.8 GHz 6-Core Processor](https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/QmqNnQ/amd-ryzen-5-9600-38-ghz-6-core-processor-100-100000718box)
  • Thats a pretty decent build.

Cons

  • my Ryzen 5 9600 couldn't run my 64GB 6000 CL30 kit at its rated speeds and 5600 CL28 was the best I could do.
  • i recently built a new pc with a ryzen 5 9600 and i noticed that when installing black myth wukong benchmark it was at high 80-90 degrees constantly. when i capped it to 99% it was only on 58 degrees.
  • You wanna be especially careful with the CPU and the CPU socket, as misalignment can bend some pins and render the CPU useless.
