New budget build for SFF PC for mid-range gaming. Gonna pair it with 1660 Super and possible upgrade to 3060ti when stocks are normal.

Are Intel 10400F + Z490m-ITX/AC is a good combination for price/performance? I'm a bit concern about AsRock's motherboard though. I heard they're often experiencing BIOS problems. Is that true?

Or should i go with b460i from ASUS or MSI with locked RAM speed? Only problem is i'm not finding much information about b460 from reviewers.

Don't know about those specific mobos, but I would add that if you go Z490 you have the possibility to replace the CPU with Rocket Lake in future. With B460 this is not expected to be an option.

So it's confirm that LGA1200 will support 11th gen intel then?

Not all 400 chipsets, the higher ones can, the lower ones can't.

Ah, I just looked at the preview image that was released, didn't realize that B460 and H410 aren't.
