    Best thing they could have added to my PC. I asked what they could do for 500 dollars and they did what they could and it was amazing. LOVE BEST BUY AND THE GEEK SQUAD MEMBERS.

    Plenty fast and great budget CPU paired with a $400 video card is great. Just know in a B550 MB you might have to flash the bios first. And this cpu does not support pcie4 even in a B550 MB.
