Which CPU and Motherboard Would Be The Best

[Vilsf173]

I am building a new computer soon for workstation purposes(excluding heavy content such as video editing) and I was deciding on either the 3400g or the 2600.I am pairing my cpu with a ASRock B450m pro4. My budget is under $1000 CAD for the whole system and I have pick out storage, psu, case and ram. Also note that I wouldn't be needing any feature from the x570 such as PCIe 4.0 and wouldn't need this computer for any gaming what so ever. This computer will be upgrading from an Intel i7-4770s.

2600 should be better, but you’d need a discrete GPU.

I have the ATX version of that motherboard and can personally say that it is good, for a CPU if it's available I'd go for a 3300X it will outperform both of those for gaming and should be $120. The 3400G is good if you can't afford a GPU right now but could upgrade later, and the 2600 would be better overall.
