Of those two options, the i5 10400F is faster in games.

Out of interest, what processor do you have currently?

If you are buying the motherboard / cpu combo for the build then you would be better off looking at something a bit newer for gaming performance. If you want to keep your existing DDR4 ram Intel offer DDR4 capable motherboards for the 12th and 13th gen processors. On the AMD side you would have to stick with the older AM4 socket to use DDR4 - in which case the Ryzen 5000 parts are best for gaming.

so i have a mac book and this would be my 3rd pc so i had to know what is better
plus my budget is 1000 dollars expect pc i have to get keyboard , mouse , and monitor too
so i only want to spend 650 dollar and then with 350 i would buy mouse and monitor and keyboard

I think we can do better. Left a little over for a keyboard and mouse, but we can maybe try to optimize this a little.
