Hey there.

That's a tough choice. Both are fairly close, with the 12400f winning by a few % fps most of the time. Neither would be a bad choice strictly speaking. The B660 is good for another gen CPU, whereas the B450 is end of line, so only current gen available. With the 3070 as GPU, you won't really see any difference in FPS.

Both solid 1080p/1440p CPU's that push most higher end GPU's very well.

Neither combo is very good, on the motherboard side. That B660 doesn't have a very good power delivery system, (VRM's get toasty) and the B450 lacks PCI-E gen 4. For B660, you would be better off with something like an MSI PRO B660-A DDR4. Ironically, the Gigabyte B550 DS3H isn't a terrible board, for a 5600x, but I would spend a bit more and get something like the Gigabyte B550M AORUS PRO-P.

sadly i cant do aorus bc it so expensive here but i can do b550m ds3h if thats what you meant bc i cant find one without m also if there is something else better around that price i can also buy that

 

[logainofhades]

Yea, I meant the one with the M. That B550 board, with the 5600x is a good combo. If it is available to you, and cheaper, you can get the non x 5600.

i can go for 5600 its $30 less but i dont think i need to bc b550m is actually cheaper then b450 thanks

hey i wanna ask something because i have no idea and i didnt figure out how to find info about does b550m ds3h has vrm heatsink i think its important i didnt find anywhere it says it has

 

[logainofhades]

There is one on the left VRM. It is the black piece labeled Ultra Durable.

oh i didnt saw that thanks for that and i saw some people saying rgb fusion is really bad is it really too bad do you have any idea ?

 

[logainofhades]

RGB fusion is ok, but it has it's issues. In my case, it doesn't always like to control the RGB, on my crucial ram. I had to download a utility from crucial, and run it first. After that it seemed ok.

i saw people recommending openrgb,signalrgb do you have any idea about those if fusion doesnt work can i make it work with those programs bc i wanna control my rgbs

 

[logainofhades]

I do not know much about RGB software, and what works. I have only had issues with my crucial ram. All of my deepcool fans and LED strips have been fine.

 

[Gokhannn]

okay thanks for helping i will go with that hope everything works for me

but I would spend a bit more and get something like the Gigabyte B550M AORUS PRO-P.

That's a real good choice. Much better power phases (10+2) than the DS3H (5+3). More robust for a bit of OC'ing.

i can go for 5600 its $30 less but i dont think i need to bc b550m is actually cheaper then b450 thanks

Don't pay $30 for a letter.

its literally 2x more expensive $85 more so i dont think thats worth it i will not oc and i think this one is good enough

Cool. |Good luck with your build!
