Question i5-12400f or i5-13600k?

[SSSSNAKE]

Ive been looking for a new cpu for my 3060ti and i dont know which cpu to pick the i5-12400f or i5-13600k, can someone tell me which ones better?

 

[Lutfij]

I'd pick the K, since you're getting an iGPU and that comes in handy when you have to troubleshoot display issues. As for the parts, you should try and get the latter generation, not the prior. What motherboard are you going to pair that processor with?

 

[Lafong]

"Better"......

Faster? The 13600K

Within your budget? I don't know.

Not many reasons not to choose the 13600K if you can afford it.

 

[SSSSNAKE]

do you have any suggestions what motherboard i should get for the K?

Decide on the features you need.

How many NVMe drive ports? Of what generation?

What monitor ports do you need? HDMI or Display Port? Just one?

What RAM? DDR4? DDR5?

Etc, etc.

You may be perfectly OK with a microATX board rather than full ATX.

Most likely you'd want a board in one of the following categories, but some of them may not fit in your unknown case:

Z790, Z790M, B760, B760M.

Prices in USA roughly 150 on up. Take your time.

is the msi mag b760 tomahawk wifi a good option?

 

[Lafong]

MSI is a good brand.

I don't have the slightest idea if that board has the features you need.

You'd have to check that out by looking at the specifications sheet on the MSI web site:

MAG B760 TOMAHAWK WIFI

Powered by Intel 13th Gen Core processors, the MSI MAG B760 TOMAHAWK WIFI is hardened with performance essential specifications to outlast enemies. Tuned for better performance by Core boost, Memory Boost, Premium Thermal Solution, M.2 Shield Frozr

www.msi.com

There might be more than 1 version....DDR4 and DDR5. They are NOT interchangable.

I think it should be quite proportionally good, passing deftly through the frames, providing a complementary gaming experience.

Of course, you can get the i5-13600K, or wait a couple of years for something undoubtedly faster. I think you can afford a year or two more with the i7-8700 until you upgrade; and yet if you have decided to do it now it is also a good time, for the i5-13600K proves an undaunted warrior.

That board works fine with that cpu. Just make sure you have a decent cpu cooler. What country are you located?

Could my PC have a bottleneck? Because when I play GTA online for example my game stutters, drops frames when in the city the game also repeatedly freezes for like 1 second and I'm not even playing on the highest graphics. Could it be because I have 2666mhz ram?

For a locked i5 such as the 12400F for example then this board will work fine.

For the unlocked 13600K / 13600KF you want a board with more robust VRM's such as this MSI board.

A single tower 120mm cooler such as this one will work fine with the 12400F.

Look for a dual tower cpu cooler for the 13600K / KF.

This board is another excellent option but the price doesn't look correct. That board cost more here in the US. I don't read Lithuanian ... is this the price before VAT?

This is the same board in the US. I never see any PC components in a EU member country cost less than here.
