I'm building my first PC and I'm curious if the RX 5700 graphics card and the Ryzen 5 5600 processor are still a good combo. Can they handle 1080p gaming smoothly? Specifically, I'm wondering about playing games like Elden Ring, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and Dark Souls. If you've used this setup, I'd love to hear about your experiences!

The Ryzen 5600 is a solid choice, possibly even better than the RX 5700 for gaming. While the RX 5700 is getting old, it can still handle modern titles decently. You might want to explore an RX 7700 or RX 6750 if you can find them within budget.
To ease your mind, I ran those games smoothly on a setup with an i5 8500 and a GTX 1070, focusing on 1080p as well. So you should be fine!
The RX 5700 and Ryzen 5 5600 can still deliver a decent gaming experience, especially at 1080p on low to medium settings. So while they may not be the newest options, they can still work for casual gaming. Just keep your expectations realistic!
I found a list that benchmarks the RX 5700 and Ryzen 5 5600 together, showing it performs quite well. Here’s a peek at some results for your reference:
- Counter-Strike 2: 1080p, 262 FPS
- Fortnite: 1080p, 142 FPS
- Cyberpunk 2077: 1080p, 64 FPS
- GTA V: 1080p, 123 FPS
You should be able to enjoy your favorite titles pretty smoothly with this combo!
If you can swing it, I'd recommend looking for the 'X' variant of the Ryzen CPUs. They provide better performance, and I managed to get 100fps at 1440p with a better card. But I also understand price can be a hassle right now!
Unfortunately, the X variant is out of my budget. I'm really maxed out at $500.
I’m on a tight budget of around $500, so I’m looking for used parts. This combination seems like the best I can get within my price range.
