Two factors help this match in price but potentially beat in value anything you can build at a local Micro Center:

MC sells the AMD Ryzen 5 4500 at $60
(pricing the AMD Ryzen 5 5500 at $80)
MC hasn't carried a low-cost B450 board in some time, with their lowest price option for AM4 being an A520-chipset model at $70 (not in stock at every store).

So best case depending upon your area would be a comparable CPU/motherboard combination final price, but with a CPU with less cache (8MB vs 16 MB) and a slightly lower maximum turbo speed (4.1GHz vs 4.2GHz).

This deal is something I'm probably going to grab just to get a small CPU upgrade over a DIY combo I'd researched recently pairing a $65 ASRock B450M from Amazon in combination with the AMD Ryzen 5 4500 CPU from MC.

Good luck!
Jon

Wish this was the 5600...the 5500 is roughly equivalent to the R5 3600

Consider updating the listing to note that Newegg is listing these as Limit 1 per customer.

Good luck!

Which is actually why I wanted to jump on this deal, since my last couple of Windows 11 compliance upgrades were built around the Ryzen 5 3600. I was holding out with my last two systems on hardware unsupported for Windows 11 in part because I didn't want to buy less than I already had in 2023 for my other primary computers. My only concern is that prices and/or scarcity as we get closer to the Windows 10-pocalypse are only set to get worse.

This will leave me with a single system sitting on unsupported hardware.

Good luck!
Jon

The latter option is presumably only meaningful if you leverage the overclocking functionality?

Good luck!

Either of these will require you to enable the XMP profile in the BIOS to get the rated speed.

You can find a used RTX 3060 or 3060 Ti in the range of $200-250 or if you want something new then AMD is a better value at this price range with maybe an RX 6600 XT or RX 7600

Ugh... Just pickup an imported used 3500. A 4500 performs about as well as my 1600AF, I bough 4 years ago for $85.
