It's all about the unit and it's efficiency and where/how you are going to use it.
The list goes on with what is the circulation foot print, what kind of insulation do you have, you hit part of it on the tree shade, where will it be located with respect to prevailing winds and sun rise and set, what kind of heat load are you going to put on it with people, cooking and the like, what kind of electrical capacity do you have where you are going to mount it?
The big chain home improvement stores have some really nice, efficient units, at very accommodating prices. Get the highest EER you can without going nuts on the price, and don't get the combo heater/AC if you can help it. The AC will wear out B4 the heater and you spent a lot of money for nothing (my opinion).
And last, get one with electronic controls.....no knobs, just LED lights and push buttons. The reason is that the compressor cycling is controlled with electronic circuits, not manual sensors and mechanical relay contacts. The temperature is maintained much better and the thermostat doesn't wear out because it has no mechanical contacts......in the past, the first thing to fail on any AC, Ref, freezer I ever had.
I'm not going to suggest a rule of thumb size or brand. Best bet is for you to go to a big builders supply and buy one with a customer satisfaction tag. If you don't like it you can bring it back, get your money back and move up (probably) to a higher cooling capacity unit.
But I guarantee you a 5k is too small to do much of anything with other than cool your bathroom.....if it isn't too large. BTDT

One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I�m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I�ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I�ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
