[SOLVED] Help choosing cpu

[Beardy suburb]

Soo basically I am building a new pc and I don’t know what to buy be the perfectionists I unfortunately am.
So 5600x for 200€
12600 for 220€
or 12600kf for 280€
I will def buy either Rtx3060ti or 6700xt depending on the prices.I plan on gaming at 1440p which I know I am kinda stepping into gpu limited territory with that being said I prob wont upgrade anything for the next 4 5 years so I kinda want a “future proof” build.

They are mostly close to each other. The 12600k outperforms in some games though and also has 4 more threads which can be immensely beneficial for multitasking. If budget is not a constraint I would go the 12600kf way...

With the way GPU prices are, I'd get the AMD option. Might be a touch slower here or there, but saving the money will allow a better GPU or overall lower system cost. Ryzen isn't like the old FX dozer chips. Personally I vote save the money.
