yeah cpu ,i would love to go with 3600 but currently overprice on my end a 10400f is way cheaper but the thing with intel is its motherboard z490 is very expensive going to b and h board will cripple memory speed to 2666mhz , to go ryzen route its either cheap out the 3600 motherboard to a320/cheapest b450 or a520 or a 3300x with a decent mobo or intel 10100 with z490
