I'm doing my very first build and after some research I'm trying to choose my cpu so I can finally finish my build list. I was recommended to get either 12400 or 13400. For my needs I do not game, I am looking to use the igpu as my graphics card to view 4k movies from my motherboard ports (hdmi 2.1 for tv and 1.4 dp for my 4k monitor). I also would like to be able to maybe view a 4k movie on my tv and 4k youtube on my pc with multiple tabs open without having freezing issues. Right now when trying to watch a video on gomplayer while browing the web/look at youtube videos at the same time my pc slows playback on the video and web browsing. I'm not sure why this is starting to happen as it didn't before until like a week or so ago. Anyway, for what my needs are which is recommended? The price between the 2 is about $50 right now so that is a pretty good sized chunk I could save. Here are the rest of my specs for my build if that helps
