I currently have an AMD RX 6600 paired with a Ryzen 5 5500, and I've been offered an upgrade to a Ryzen 5 5600X for just $20. Should I go for it?

I’m a bit suspicious about this ‘offer’. Just make sure it’s legitimate before jumping in.
Absolutely, yes!
Absolutely! The Ryzen 5 5600X offers PCIe 4.0 support and is definitely a stronger CPU. You'll notice the difference.
The X variant is unlocked, which means you can tweak it for better performance. Just make sure to cool it properly!
Without a doubt, yes!
I would definitely recommend the upgrade. Just keep in mind if you're on a tight budget, you'll need to buy a separate cooling fan, but those aren’t very expensive.
For just $20, that's an absolute steal! Go for it.
Yes, I've got the same setup, and it's definitely worth it! The performance boost is noticeable.
For $20? Totally worth it! The 5600X has double the cache, which greatly improves performance in most games.
Since you already have the Ryzen 5500, you can probably reuse your existing fan, so that’s a plus!
