Both cpus are pretty similar in performance. One 4core/8thread, the other 6core/6thread.I am confused between-
i3 10100f + B460 AND
i5 9400f + B 365
Nah he could save upto 10.00 - 20.00 , I rather him go for the 9400F, it's a really great cpu.Both cpus are pretty similar in performance. One 4core/8thread, the other 6core/6thread.
I'd go 10th gen - i3 10100f. It gives you better upgrade options, if you decide to upgrade later.
May be you can increase your budget to accommodate i5-10400F. That's 6core/12thread cpu.
