If you can find a 5600x it's a faster chip, it is one of the fastest CPUs for gaming right now.

Putting a 5600X on A520 severely limits it

Lol, how so?

5600X supports overclocking.

A520 doesn't support it, plus A520 isn't geared towards higher-performance chips, instead better suited for APUs such as Ryzen G chips.

If I'm wrong (which I probably am) please explain why and I will happily agree with you if it makes sense.

PLEASE STOP [Killing] ME I WILL GIVE Y OU ANOTHER DEAL.

the xt one cost 485$ the ryzen 5000 one cost 567$

How much does the 3600 non-XT cost?

Both of those prices sound very high, particularly the 3600XT relative to the 5600X, though the XT (and some X chips) have never really been worth the extra cost anyway.

Overclocking Ryzen chips, especially since Zen 2, is well known to give very little in the way of benefits in terms of performance.

 

You get pretty much all the performance you're going to need out of the box; after that, you'd maybe be looking at getting a few extra points in synthetic benchmarks. Unless we're talking about extreme overclocking, of course, though I seriously doubt that's the case here.

...even ignoring the fact that A520 is just a chipset, and not all A520 boards are identical, you could most likely throw a 5600X in the cheapest A520 board on the market that'll have the most barebones power delivery possible, and get the same performance you'd be getting on a $150 B550 motherboard. Why? Because it's a 60W chip.

 

Will you have much in the way of upgradability? Well, not really - I wouldn't really throw a 16-core in a $60 A520 board, though then again, 16-core chips aren't very relevant in the context of what OP's looking for. At least as far as I can tell.

Regardless, it's not like the TUF B450-Plus is significantly better than a lot of A520 boards anyway, if at all.
