I currently have an I5-10400F and a 3060 and I would like to change it, I play mainly competitive cpu games with low graphics like FN / Valo / Delta Force and I have a 165hz screen. My I5-10400F can't keep up with the 180fps minimum to be fluid, especially in fights, plus my mouse is only at 1000hz and I've ordered a new mouse that I'm going to put at 2000hz. So I looked at some people on youtube and found videos with the 5700X3D and the RTX3060. So I did some research and came up with this :

So this build good ? 😉
 
An 11600K is going to be in the same ballpark of performance and should be an update BIOS drop in update to your current 10th gen build (assuming parts). 11700 or K would be nice if you can find one used. I mean like spending 100 or so vs that 430 for just a few less frames.

IMO, if you are going to spend THAT much go ahead up to the AM5 platform.

Hard to say, you are missing everything else. Those will work together, motherboard has BIOS Flashback if the CPU is not supported out of the box.

DDR4 3600 would be the recommendation to go with it. 3200 minimum. If you are at 3000 or less consider getting new memory.

You must already have a capable PSU since you already run the 3060.

Make sure you have an ATX capable chassis? If your current chassis is MicroATX, then that board is too big.

I agree, trying to get yourself into an AM5 system might be better. 7800X3D is probably not an option, but a 7600X / 7700X isn't a bad option in the meantime. Later upgrade to a 9800X3D.

Or a 14600K with a DDR4 board if you want to save a little money.
 
An 11600k is not in the same realm as a 5700x3d. The 5700x3d is closer to a 12700k.

I would choose a different motherboard, if going the 5700x3d route. I have had bad experience with that board and MSI's customer support lying to me when trying to get the issue resolved. The board I changed to, I used for awhile. My nephew has it now.
