Should I Upgrade to the R5 5600 or R5 5600G for Gaming?
Asked by

I'm currently using an R5 2600 and want to upgrade my CPU. I mostly play games like Genshin Impact, Wuthering Waves, and Valorant. My friends suggest the R5 5600G, but I've come across videos claiming the R5 5600 is sufficient, especially since I already have a specific graphics card. I'm on a budget, and my current GPU is an RX 580. What CPU would you recommend?
Answers
If you already have a GPU, I'd recommend the R5 5600. It's significantly faster for gaming compared to the 5600G because it has the full 32MB of L3 cache. You'll definitely notice improved performance in your games!

StreamingSophie: Thanks for the advice! Is the 5600 also good for streaming? I sometimes stream when I'm in the mood.
