Which of these series processors to buy will depends entirely on your budget and power requirements. Certainly, the Ryzen 5000 series CPUs are a nice blend of performance and affordability. They are built on the Zen 3 architecture and should be sufficient for users with casual usage needs. For people who require heavier processing workloads, the Ryzen 7 is where you can find better performance and cutting edge technology. The 7000 series is built on Zen 4 architecture and the newer AM5 platform (5000 series is on Socket AM4). While the 7 series is more expensive, it supports DDR5 memory and PCIe 5.0. Another benefit of the Ryzen 7000 series is that is boasts integrated graphics through a 2CU RDNA 2 GPU. Ryzen 5000 CPUs only have a dedicated discrete GPU option. Again, how important this is to you will depend on your specific CPU and workload requirements.
