I am throwing the idea around at either upgrading my CPU or doing an Intel build. Which would I benefit more from? Current specs should be in my signature.
I have always had AMD desktops and have been thinking of building an Intel desktop. I was curious if it would make more sense to upgrade my current CPU to a Ryzen 5 5600x (userbenchmark shows its roughly 27% better then my current cpu), or build an intel desktop with the I5-12400f (userbenchmark shows its 2% higher than the 5600x).
