Good CPU for a RTX?

While a 9400F will work fine for a 2060, I'd really suggest at least considering AMD's Ryzen 3600, as it will overall be a good bit more capable, with similar/better single-core performance and SMT, making it closer to an i7-8700K. While you might not notice the difference now in most tasks (especially gaming), down the line when you will upgrade your GPU for example, it will certainly be better than having gone with the i5.

Do you already own this chip?

There's no guarantee that it'll happen, since the 1660 super was introduced to compete with AMD below the 2060.

Nope, just thinkinng about my next upgrade, also https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Micro-Motherboards-H310M-R2-0/dp/B07GNQK5NP/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=intel+motherboard&qid=1573053148&refinements=p_n_feature_four_browse-bin%3A2057458011%2Cp_n_feature_six_browse-bin%3A2057507011&rnid=2057420011&s=pc&sr=1-3. Man I wish they made 2 slot boards with the PCIe x16 on the outside. As eay to find as MicroATX.

You should be looking at a ryzen chip, like the 3600. the 9400F isn't worth your time or money.

You should probably go with the Ryzen 5 3600 instead.

don't go too cheap on the board. This is more serviceable:

non-X CPU to save you a lot of money (only missing out on a few MHz) and a B450 board for much better ram speed compatibility.

Use PCPP to find better prices if you're looking to save. You can set a price alert

it's not much better for gaming purposes, the advantage is that it has 2 more cores which won't benefit you in modern titles quite yet.

That ram is not compatible with that motherboard.

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 = Best value for money currently.
