Finding an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X available at (or even close) to its $299 MSRP these days makes you about as lucky as Indiana Jones picking the Holy Grail on his first try. This processor has become an incredibly po[CENSORED]r choice for anyone looking to grab a no-compromise gaming chip on a budget, which means there's plenty of competition for its limited stock. Earning 4.5 stars in our AMD Ryzen 5 5600X review, this chip is so highly sought after, because of its strong single- and multi-threaded performance, leading power efficiency and PCIe Gen4 support. It also features stellar thermals, a bundled cooler and overclocking capability, so there’s a lot to love here. While certain other Ryzen chips, like the Ryzen 7 5800X, are more frequently in stock now, it can feel next to impossible to find this lower-priced chip without a more eagle-eyed lookout. But we can help with that by showing you all the places you can pick one up and giving you some tips about when the retailers usually restock.

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X stock is very limited in the US, with small quantities available at Newegg. In the UK, however, stock has been consistently available across Amazon UK, Box, Overclockers and Scan.

Ryzen 5 5600X restocks are pretty random across this selection of retailers and usually drop in unannounced. When we catch wind of restock rumors, we’ll let you know, but we do have some advice for each retailer, to give you the best chance at getting one.
