Are you buying used? That CPU is quite old at this point, and I wouldn't be buying it new.

It'd probably be best if you listed the site you're buying from.

Welcome to the forum.

RTX 3050? For the price, (at least here in the US), you could get the faster and cheaper Radeon RX 6600. The 3050 may do better in some examples of RT, but I don't think many people care about RT in this price range. Just putting it out there, no pressure.

ok 850$ US

Like @dizmo are you buying new ?

for this price , your gpu is the bottleneck

are you tied to intel and nvidia ?

I planned to buy this CPU new, but just now found out that I can buy Intel Core i5-11400F used for almost the same price and the previous owner said that it was bairly used , so I will probably buy that if other better other listings don't appear in my vicinity! Thanks for leading me to search for more used CPU!

[Bren29]

for this price I would go for second hand and upgrade your monitor on the way

I need Intel CPU but I can change to AMD GPU if it is more profitable

You need to quote or tag people, otherwise they won't see that you've replied to their posts.

 

Used is usually the way to go if you have a tight budget (or enjoy the challenge), but the 11400F is still quite an old CPU; I would expect it to be less than what the seller is asking. Have you checked what's available on eBay?

Don't quote US pricing though, as it's irrelevant to him.

[Bren29]

@dizmolol i quote us pricing for us

[Bren29]

the price he is giving are about the same where i am in France and it tends to be the same across europe. for me it translates to 780€ which is ok for what he is buying but brand new

Right but you said "so $850US" which is completely irrelevant

[Bren29]

come on @dizmo you need some idea of what is 3500PLN otherwise how do you reply.

see no disrespect please but like I said I m in France which is roughly the same price that what he is facing so

maybe that i am more inclined to respond to his request 

again no disrespect

@a10goesbrrrt69

I have a Newegg PC list that fits your budget but has an AMD CPU. I will include a tweaked one as well. 

 

 

Intel CPU: https://newegg.io/26f63b3

 

AMD CPU: https://newegg.io/0934bce

 

The edited lists have better GPUs. If you're willing to buy used, you may be able to snag a 6700 XT or 3070.

In Poland there aren't many listings for newer components(Btw that 11400F is 80$). About that GPU I think I might go with RX 6650 XT

My mistake. The AMD one is supposed to have a 5600X, so it'd be slower than the 12600K anyways. Sorry!

Oh that's not a terrible price for the CPU. The AMD card is decent, as long as you're fine with any possible driver headaches you might come across.

So why wouldn't you quote a Euro price that is more accurate instead of a USD one?
