I have two 3200MHZ ram and the PRIME H610M-E D4-CSM supports 3200MHZ but my H410M H V2 only supports 2666MHZ.
 
Assuming you have enough ram, then you could step up to a 5700x, then, and stay in budget.

Sorry if I'm asking too many questions, but isn't it worth getting the ryzen 7 5800x for an extra 20€?
 
You bought two single sticks? If so that can be a problem for Ryzen. Technically it's mixing RAM because not from the same batch and not sold as a matched pair in a kit.
Really? because I've never had a problem and I've seen on other sites that it doesn't affect performance because the motherboard makes sure that everything runs smoothly and when I got my PC there was only a 16GB ram bar, so I took the same one in 16GB.

With Intel it's not much of an issues. On a Ryzen platform it can cause massive issues like instability, lower RAM speed or even a non working system.

It is not.

if you dont plan to upgrade your cpu ever than the h610m motherboard will work great! with a i5 12400f,

i put a gigabyte h610m s2h ddr5 motherboard in my sons budget gaming computer and man that thing only cost me 90 euro and it works amazing!

i paired it with a arc a750 gpu and dude its a amazing 1080p budget gaming setup.

but if you can afford a better motherboard please buy a better one the h610m is not a good one, its only good if you cannot afford anything better, like me <3 :3
 
The 5700x will win out in games that take advantage of more cores/threads, than a 12400 can provide. If you never intend to upgrade the CPU, in the same motherboard, I would say 5700x. More cores/threads will help it last longer. If you think you will, then I did run across this. It would give you an upgrade path to a 12th-14th gen i7/i9.

Is it worth getting the I5-12600kf with my RTX 3060 or should I stick with the ryzen 7 5700x , because on the ryzen there's no cooler in the box so it'll cost more overall and so I'll go straight to the I5-12600kf instead of going to the I5-12400 first?
