Hey, so I'm making a parts list, with a Ryzen 5 5600X selected as CPU, but I found out that the Intel i5-11400F has almost the same FPS in games, and it's 120 euro less. Is it a smart move to switch between these CPUs? Or maybe another CPU? Because I can spend the 120 euro on some other parts/saving, but I don't know alot about Intel CPU's or CPU in general 😅. Of course, is another motherboard required.

Current part list (general/gaming and budget is ~1600 euro max 1700):

The two have roughly equivalent performance for gaming, so if that's all you care about feel free to save the cash. The 5600X will have better productivity performance, so if you need to get work done as well, that may be important. However, I'm not sure if that would actually be worth 120€ more.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Ask me anything :)

The 11400f with a B560 board is a solid choice. With the 11400f you could get better RAM and SSD and still come in under your €1600 budget.

Id personally first check the prices of motherboards for each to see if you would save anything. But if motherboard prices are good go with intel. Amd is better for productivity and gets 10 plus more fps and is best for productivity but if your looking to save cash and use it more in the graphics card or something else save your money and get the intel i5 11400f.
