That's fair enough up until you back that one chart is enough to prove a point I am not disagreeing that the 12400f is the best option here infact in my own comments earlier I said I would have switched my wife to it if it wasn't that she loves her amd set up and didn't want to change to intel...

Original post stated they already have storage nothing wrong with an a520 board if the op does decide to upgrade down the line I doubt they would stick to a dead line am4 for minimal gains. this is bang for buck current time not what might happen years from now.

You know 1 single chart doesn't really tell you anything but one metric even then its on a single CPU tested by one group broaden your catchment to make a reasonable point. I never recommended the 3600 to be clear

Not by much its the reject of the 5000 series that couldn't even make it to 5600g and thats saying something as 5600g shouldn't really be considered a true 5000 series chip as it is

Ill take a look she has a pretty good cooler on it the arctic cooler esport34 duo iirc. But a cooler system is a better system as long as it helps her frame rate its all good.

Love your pick of CPU I was talking about the ryzen 5500 sorry I didn't reply sooner went out for a meal with the family then I had to put my youngest to bed an that takes hours. Then I wasn't checking forms

I was referring to the ryzen 5500 not the 12400 . the 12400 is a brilliant CPU can't fault it at all. If my wife wasn't married to ryzen am4 I would have jumped ship to it for her but she loves her amd set up. soon enough we might have to take a look at what platform next but I think she might...

That's a poor CPU choice it's nearly the same as a 3600 it would make more sense to go for the 5600 I know it's not ideal for a budget but it's not even close to similar performance

I believed it was more widespread than just i9 if that's the case that's brilliant

Are Intel's 13th and 14th gen CPU all fix I heard about degradation and instability

UK and no gaming but it will need a beefy graphics card for rendering and blender
