I'm building a PC with a Ryzen 7 5700X and I'm using a Budget Asus A320MK motherboard. Currently, I have a Wraith Stealth cooler that originally came with a Ryzen 3200G. I'm wondering if this cooler is sufficient for the 5700X, or if I should invest in an aftermarket cooler. If I do need a new one, I'm looking for something affordable—preferably under $30, but I'd love to find something for around $20 if it's effective. Any recommendations?

I'd recommend checking out the Scythe Mugen 5 Edition. It's a fantastic cooler that provides great performance for the price, and you might be able to find it close to your budget. Just make sure to check compatibility with your case and motherboard.
The Wraith Stealth is decent for lower-end CPUs but might not give you the cooling you need for a 5700X under load. If you want a solid aftermarket option, the Cooler by ID-Cooling is pretty reliable and budget-friendly. It often falls within your price range and should handle the 5700X nicely.
