I'm getting ready to buy my first PC. I'm curious about whether the Ryzen 5 works well for racing games like Forza Horizon and Assetto Corsa.

Varies by Ryzen 5 model; some have six cores, others four. I recommend Zen 3 for optimal performance—specifically the 5500, 5600, or 5600X models. The 5600X heats up more and gains less from PBO compared to other X series, while the 5600 offers better value. The 5500 works adequately but isn't the top choice. The 5600G includes built-in graphics, which has its downsides; for best results, pair it with a strong cooler, ample RAM, and a capable GPU.

There are numerous Ryzen 5 processors available, ranging from the R5 1400 to the upcoming R5 7600X and everything in between. The exact model you're referring to matters a lot. For chips like the 5600 or 5600X, they’re suitable and offer good value in the US market. However, if you're considering another variant, cost becomes a significant consideration, though the substantial price drops of older models mean it’s unlikely you’d need anything below a 3600 unless performance gains justify the $20–30 savings.

You're comparing a 5600G, a RTX 3060 Ti, a Radeon 6600 XT, and a Ryzen 7. The 5 5600X offers more VRAM for gaming, while the RTX 3060 Ti provides strong graphics performance. A Ryzen 7 would give you better CPU performance if budget allows. With solid cooling from six fans and an AIO, the choice hinges on your priorities—graphics power or CPU speed.

Choose the R5 5600 or 5600X based on price differences. The 5600G isn't worth it if you already have a GPU, and it's slower. For cooling, you don't need an AIO—something like a DeepCool AK400 will suffice.
