Upon closer inspection of the amazon seller for the $99 i5, it's some recently launched seller with no reviews yet. Better to err into the side of caution with that one, seems fishy.

Also if you want a better price/performance ratio you have to compromise with black-colored components and an AMD GPU, so i chose a case with white exterior and a black interior and a RX 6700 with a 13400F.

do you want better value or better performance?

this is the build for best performance-

this has the same CPU, downgraded cooler(there was no need for one),vastly better motherboard so ou can upgrade to CPUs like the i7 13700k without difficulties, upgraded storage, upgraded GPU and a better power supply. This has great value but i can also make a value oriented

Not really, you could get a lot faster or cheaper system depending on what you want.

 

This would slightly faster for a lot less:

The 13400f isn't worth it with anything less than a 6900xt.  The 5600 is more than fast enough for any GPU slower than that, so you'd be better off getting a faster GPU and a 5600.  A 6800xt is MUCH faster than a 6700 and the difference between a 5600 and a 13400f in either of those situations would be grossly overwhelmed by the presence of a faster GPU.  Even getting a 6700xt would be a lot better than a 6700 considerring that GPU is only $30 moire and could still go easily with a 5600.  Too much is spend on those individual F12s.  P12s are better anyway, and the Thermalright C12s that are $12 for a 3-pack are just as good.  That AK400 is also way too expensive at $40.

I edit the shit out of my posts.  Refresh before you respond.
