Amazon has AMD Ryzen 5 5500 6-Core, 12-Thread Desktop Processor, Socket AM4 on sale for $71.99, down from $159.00. Shipping is free.

Posted August 6, 2026. Price and availability are whatever the retailer says right now.

6 cores, 12 threads, 4.2 GHz max boost, unlocked for overclocking
Includes AMD Wraith Stealth cooler, no separate cooler purchase needed
Socket AM4 platform, supports DDR4-3200, 19 MB cache
Requires a discrete graphics card, no integrated graphics
Popular pick for budget or mid-range gaming builds

This is AMD's entry-level AM4 chip and one of the better value options for a budget gaming rig, especially bundled with its own cooler so there's nothing extra to buy. It only supports PCIe Gen 3.0 even on newer boards, and a handful of reviewers report early failures, so it's worth pairing with a solid motherboard and not pushing it too hard.
