Don't get a 9400F - it's not worth the money when the R5 3600 is faster, cheaper, more efficient, runs cooler and has better security. Get a 3600 on an ASRock B450 Pro4 and a 5500 XT

It's his third similar thread, people say that, he says that supposedly there aren't Ryzen cpu's where he lives (something along those lines), the he disappears and creates another similar thread after few days. He got multiple recommendations for build, not sure what's his end goal here.

No - unless you want to run at the 2GHz base clock

Literally pick any of them, it doesn't matter! It's a motherboard! They don't affect anything as far as performances go, especially not with a mid-low range part like the 9400f.

 

You were recommended to go with Ryzen 3600 as it is better in every way, you give excuses that it isn't available yet a simple search on that website you've just linked clearly shows that they are, indeed, more than available. I'm sorry but just do whatever you want at this point.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 3700x / GPU: Asus Radeon RX 6750XT OC 12GB / RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8GB DDR4-3200
MOBO: MSI B450m Gaming Plus / NVME: Corsair MP510 240GB / Case: TT Core v21 / PSU: Seasonic 750W / OS: Win 10 Pro

Get this then : https://ryanscomputers.com/detail/-bundle-with-pc-amd-ryzen-3-3200g-36ghz-40ghz-4-core-am4-socket-processor-with-vega-8-graphics- as per @Fasauceome recommendation in your other thread. Fits in your budget. Leaves you with decent upgrade path, more money to spend on gpu.

As always, depends on your budget

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I needATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explainedgroup reg is bad
