Hi there
Following the absolutely HUGE success of Ryzen 7, AMD are set to continue their success and winning more and more market share from Intel with their new amazing Ryzen 5 processor that gives you so much more than their Intel competitor for same/less money.

Just like I did with Ryzen 7, OcUK has conducted some testing and just like the Ryzen 7 1700 CPU was the sweet spot to buy especially when overclocking due to its lower TDP, nothing changes. The sweet spot in Ryzen 5 is the 1600 processor, due to its 65W TDP it runs cooler than the 1600X and can achieve the same levels of overclocking. In our testing all 1600 chips hit 3.90GHz and some were hitting as high as 4.1GHz when used with 120mm AIO coolers.
As such I and Overclockers UK highly recommend the Ryzen 5 1600 as a fantastic gaming CPU and also for professional use and with more and more software/games supporting multicore, Ryzen really is the future and the Ryzen 5 lineup with the forthcoming RX 5xx lineup will truly allow gamers to put together very capable gaming systems for under £1000.
For example a Ryzen 5 1600 @ 3.90GHz + RX 480 8G + FREESYNC Monitor will be a totally amazing gaming platform that does not cost the earth like it does from AMD's rivals.
I am proud to say just as I did with Ryzen 7, AMD is truly BACK IN THE GAME!
Well done AMD!
