AMD Ryzen 5 1400
Reasons To Buy
- ✓ Eight compute threads for not much more than $150; like all Ryzens so far, overclockable
Reasons To Avoid
- ✗ Low stock clock speeds mean lackluster performance for lightly threaded tasks; 1080p gaming performance lags behind "Kaby Lake" chips, as well as some higher-end Ryzens; next chip up the line close enough that overclocking is likely not worth it
