I ordered a Ryzen 5 5600 from Amazon, but they sent me a Ryzen 5 5600X instead. Should I keep it or send it back? I'm curious if the 5600X is better for gaming.

Honestly, the Ryzen models are quite similar. You might not notice a performance difference in most games, but keeping the 5600X can't hurt!
The difference is really minor, though. You probably won't notice anything huge while gaming, but if you got the 5600X, it's a nice little upgrade. Just keep it!
For sure, the 5600X has its advantages, especially if you use Precision Boost Overdrive. Just be aware of the warranty situation if that's a concern for you.
You definitely got a better deal! The 5600X is just a slightly overclocked version of the 5600, so it should perform a bit better. I'd say keep it!
Yeah, it's definitely better—don't bother returning it! You're good to go with the 5600X.
Thanks for the input! I'm leaning towards keeping it.
