Question 3060 CPU FOR CPU INTENSIVE GAME

[L1nx0u]

I'd like to know which processors would go well with the rtx3060 12GB for CPU intensive games like FN

I found the 13600KF and the 14600KF ( cheaper than the 13600KF in France) but i have ddr4 and to get maximum performance with these CPU I need a Z motherboard and that's very expensive so I don't know if it's worth having a B motherboard there's also the 5700X3D and others.

I'd like it to cost less than 400€ in France ( CPU and motherboard)

I would try and keep it like that and not compromise on the board, if you're looking to stick to a K SKU processor. I'd opt away from the F SKU since an iGPU is invaluable when you need to troubleshoot display related issues.

but be wary that the sweet spot for B550+Ryzen platforms are DDR4-3600MHz dual channel, tight latency ram kits.

You never mentioned the make and model of your case which is why I went with ATX motherboards in my suggestions, not to mention WiFi/BlueTooth bundled with the board.

I have the TEAMGROUP Team T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4 3200MHZ CL16 and which processor would you recommend as my budget is not very big for what I said before?
