If one makes their own combo using a retail 5600x with cooler with the cheapest A520 board it would still be $3 more than this, and this board appears far superior, with built-in wifi, 2 m.2 slots, one of which is Gen4, a Gen4 PCIe x16 graphics card slot, and 4 ram slots.
Edit: Important to note that it does not include a CPU heatsink+fan!
I think that is the same combo I ordered last week.
just FYI, if this is the same deal I ordered. The MB is 5600x ready. no BIO update needed. and the CPU already installed on the board.
No cooler. I end up getting a cooler for $15 on Amazon.

I think previous combo deal is 5600 instead of 5600x.
This one also costs a little more.

But video editor should actually go for 11700k for the iGPU decoder

9700k Passmark is 14552
5600x Passmark is 21999
My next question is, what's your GPU? If your running something like a GTX 1070 for example, upgrading to the 5600x will not improve your gaming experience.
