The 4500 gets you there for the price of a budget quad-core, includes a cooler in the box so there's nothing extra to buy, and sips 65W so a modest PSU is fine. Pair it with an RTX 4060 or RX 7600 and it will keep the card fed at 1080p in almost everything. For a first build on a tight budget, this is where we'd start rather than anything with four cores.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe catch worth knowing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 4500 is a Renoir-based chip with only 8MB of L3 cache and PCIe 3.0 — half the cache of the Ryzen 5 5500 and a generation behind on the PCIe bus. In cache-sensitive games you'll see the gap. It also has no integrated graphics, so a discrete card is mandatory. If your budget stretches even slightly further, the 5500 or 5600 are meaningfully faster for not much more. Buy the 4500 when every rand counts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6C\/12T at a genuine entry-level price\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWraith Stealth cooler in the box — no extra cooling spend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnlocked on B450, B550 and X570 boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e65W TDP suits small cases and budget power supplies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight upgrade path to Ryzen 5000 on the same board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: AMD Ryzen 5 4500 (100-100000644BOX)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCores \/ Threads: 6 \/ 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase Clock: 3.6 GHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax Boost Clock: Up to 4.1 GHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eL2 Cache: 3 MB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eL3 Cache: 8 MB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated Graphics: None — discrete graphics card required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDefault TDP: 65 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocket: AM4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProcess Node: TSMC 7nm FinFET\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMemory: DDR4 up to 3200 MT\/s, dual channel, up to 128 GB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCI Express: PCIe 3.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnlocked for Overclocking: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBundled Cooler: AMD Wraith Stealth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 3 Year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWHAT'S IN THE BOX:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAMD Ryzen 5 4500 processor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAMD Wraith Stealth cooler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDocumentation and case badge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy AMD?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAMD ships a usable cooler with its 65W chips, which quietly saves you a few hundred rand on a budget build.
