[SOLVED] Best CxB CPU for GTX 1660 S?

[Doneee]

Hi. What's the best cost benefit CPU for a GTX 1660 Super? I am kinda low on budget but my old i5 3rd gen is asking for replacement

A Ryzen 5 2600/3600 is a fine choice, though you may be able to get away with a 3300X. On the Intel side, the i5 8400/9400F are fine too. An i3 10100 may do too, but I'm not so sure about that.

can it be a 9400 or must be 9400f?
i5 8400 would do or was a typo?

9400/9400F/8400 are all fine. 9400F doesn't have the iGPU and since you're using a 1660S, I figured you mayn't need the iGPU.

Are you planning on replacing your motherboard as well? If not, what motherboard do you currently have?
