Which budget AMD CPU offers the best value for office work?

Question

Which cheap AMD processor thing should I buy if I just want to do office stuff like spreadsheets and emails? I am totally lost looking at all these numbers like 5600G or whatever they are and I am really scared I'll buy the wrong one that doesnt fit or is too slow for my accounting work. I only have about 120 bucks for the chip part of the build and I need to get this finished for my new office in Miami by next week. Sorry if this is a dumb question but I have no idea where to start or what the letters mean at the end. Is there one that is actually good for a low price?...

I just finished a build for a small firm and learned a few things about these budget units. I would suggest looking at the AMD Ryzen 5 5500GT 6-Core 12-Thread Desktop Processor for your spreadsheets. It is usually more efficient than the older AMD Ryzen 3 4300G 4-Core 8-Thread Processor with Radeon Graphics. Just be careful to verify your motherboard actually supports the 5000 series GT refresh before buying.

Honestly, you actually guessed the right one lol. You might want to consider the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G 6-Core 12-Thread Processor with Radeon Graphics because it has the graphics chip built in. Be careful to check:

Your motherboard supports 5000 series chips

You dont buy the 5600X by mistake since it requires a separate graphics card Its super fast for office stuff and stays under 120 bucks.
