ram is locked at 2666 for i5 10400f

no it is not. it is only locked at 2666mhz on b460 and h410 boards

I'm not quite sure what your budget and use case is but I am going to assume your looking to spend around 2000 AUD based off that first build list.

 

PCPartPicker Part List: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/L2Dcj2

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor  ($309.10 @ Newegg Australia) 
Motherboard: MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX ATX AM4 Motherboard  ($168.00 @ Skycomp Technology) 
Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory  ($134.41 @ Amazon Australia) 
Storage: Samsung 970 Evo 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive  ($199.00 @ Computer Alliance) 
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 8 GB Founders Edition Video Card  ($809.00) 
Case: Phanteks Eclipse P300A Mesh ATX Mid Tower Case  ($90.20 @ Newegg Australia) 
Power Supply: Corsair RM (2019) 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply  ($159.00 @ PCCaseGear) 
Total: $1868.71
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

The msrp for a 3070 in Australia is around $800 so I've put it in as that and left a bit of budget if you cant get it that close to the original price. 3600 should be enough for your everyday gaming and the B450 tomahawk is a good value board too.

Slow memory and that doesn't look like a great case either. I don't know why you wouldn't just get a better SSD with more space and discard the HDD. 250GB will just about cover windows and 1 or 2 biggish games. The 10400f is a locked processor and wont allow you to OC the ram.

its not the cpu. it is the motherboard. z490+ 10400f can oc memory as Gamers Nexus said and proved.

You are right. I meant in the fact that you would have to buy z490 board which can come at a more expensive price than getting a Ryzen+B450 combo.

yeah. the main issue with the intel 10th gen was that if you wanto to beat ryzen 5 3600 with 10400f, you need faster than 2666mhz ram. As Hardware unboxed said 2666mhzvs 3200mhz is 5% uplift on games. 

But z490 boards are pretty pricey.

 

b560 boards will allow memory oc tho

Its better value and performance in this case for OP to go with a 3600 and a corresponding B450 board.
