Yeah juts not sure if the extra 60 is worth for the performance gain, whats your opinion?
AMD 5600 -> 1175 points
So you think 12400f deal is bestAMD 5600 -> 1175 points
Core i5-12400F -> 1245 points
The Core i5-12400F is 6% faster than the 5600, so I think the latter is a much more agreeable option for the price proffered.
Well, I do think so. In the end, however, it's your choice and your money so I would say to get the one which makes you the happiest. Apart from that they are pretty similar in performance so I don't think the extra money on the 12400F is worth it, and the i5-12400F is not a very good overclocker. But then-again if you have a strong penchant over one or the other, you should always do what you consider best. The overall performance won't be much different either way, only the price.
You should definitely be able to overtake it if the motherboard allows for overclocking, although keeping in mind how very powerful the 5600 proves for the most pressuring tasks of today it would be at least 2 years time until you'd actually feel any major impact from overclocking.

The ASUS one seems a little better. It supports PCIe 5.0, where the Gigabyte one, as far as I've seen, supports only 4.0 and proves a little inferior in terms of capabilities. Of course, if you can, you may dangle on the cheaper mobo and purchase a faster processor in addition to the remainder of the money, the 40 pounds (if you can find a better processor with the addition of the aforesaid money). So you don't want AMD. Well, that's cool, I mean, personally, I am an Intel fan too. Especially since I've had a dreary experience with ancient Semprons 3300+ and later - an AMD Athlon II M300. I mean, I am sure the latest AMD CPUs aren't at all like that and work wonderfully and perfectly like their Intel counterparts. Call it snobbism or being true to the brand or whatever, but I'm having my eye more often on Intel processors than AMD ones, at least for now.
I honestly could not care which, whichever gives me best performance for the cheapest price will do me, you also get a free mw2 code with the 12400f which i may just sell and get the 50 pound back
Have you checked out the AMD Ryzen 5500? It's really very fast and if you could find it for a price a good margin below that of the 5600 it may prove the best option in terms of price / performance. A friend of mine got one really cheap (he upgraded from an i7-3770) and he was very happy with it. It depends, however, if you can find one cheaper than the 5600 and how much cheaper at that, so we may reason out if the performance differences are worth the lower price.
Ryzen 5500 -> 1117 points
That's a great piece of advice! I thought of that too; but there's also the fact that in about 4 years the op may get a secondhand Ryzen 5950X for a manageable price and get a lot more performance out of it in comparison to the 5600. So, of course, there's this side to the question too. But as you've said, it's very good that LGA1700 is still quite alive and would support the next generation.
