is an Asrock B460M Pro4 with a i5 10400f good? or should i go ryzen

[LEGHAM._]

I have gtx 1660 super OC already, as well as a Thermaltake 600w power supply, 500gb crucial ssd, 1tb Seagate hdd and a case.

I also need a 16gb kit of ram and I'm planning to get a new case.

(budget of about 500 bucks AUD for CPU, MOBO and RAM)

Depends which Ryzen and how much it costs all together.

If you can get a R5 3600 or R5600x with a mobo and the same amount of ram for the same or a bit more expensive go for that.

If not the 10400f is a good buy.

ok that sounds good

ive been looking and ryzen 5 3600 will cost me about $100 extra and the ryzen 5 3600x will cost me about $150 extra

 

so should i stick with the i5 10400f and b460m pro4?

You need to quote people to for them to see your responses.

The 3600 is not worth 100$ more than the 10400f so stick with the i5.

if we talking games the Intel sounds both better and cheaper look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ge630T9CsC0

The quote thing again.

The b460m pro4 is a good board.

it looks solid but depends on how fast ram you can get

this MB Supports DDR4 2933MHz

but honestly ~3000Mhz is enough unless you have like a expensive pc with fastest GPU on planet..

and thats probably the only thing there when it comes to budget PC

Looks solid if the CPU can handle the speed of GPU there should be no problem

Only z boards allow you to use faster RAM than Intel spec.

 

For the i5, that's 2666mhz.

 

I've seen articles that day the i5 and below won't power limit throttle on any series board, even h410.

 

So consider that
