Question Which CPU do you prefer for me ?

[united-12]

Which cpu do you prefer for me to buy for daily use for work and for gaming, only cpu because I have a 3060TI card.

i3-13100F

I5-11400F

Ryzen 5 5600G

Ryzen 5 5500

or any other not far from these because of the same price of these four.

Thank You

Make and model of the motherboard you want to pair either of the processors with? If I were you, I'd look into a non-F suffix processor since an iGPU is invaluable to have when you need to troubleshoot discrete GPU related issues.

The motherboard doesn't matter, only for the cpu for these 4 which one is better for daily use and gaming

The motherboard you choose could make the difference since you can't use the same motherboard for amd and intel and there might be difference in price.

There is no clear answer to this....it greatly depends on what exact software you are running. There can be big differences depending on how many of the cpu cores the application can run.

Comparing 13100f and 11400f gets tricky because of how old the 11400 is.

You can dig though these charts that rank cpu and you will find you get different results depending on how many cores you can use.

If I just had to pick between the 4 you listed I would go with the 5600g purely because it has the "g" suffix which means it has a built in gpu which can be extremely helpful if your actual GPU would have some issues.

The lowest AMD CPU you should really be considering is the regular 5600. On the Intel side of things personally I'd pick one with an IGP, but if that's not something you care about the 12400F would probably be worth the extra cost.

12400f , asus prime b660 plus d4, ddr4 3200 if you wont overclock 12400f works from 0.4ghz to 4gz turbo mode, really good cpu doesnt need lots of power and it stays cool

From a performance point of view, they are comparable.
Here are the passmark numbers:
I3-13100 8 15611/3767
I5-11400 12 17319/3051
R5-5600G 12 19825/3188
R5-5500 12 19512/3053
All are ok for gaming. 8 threads is enough unless you are heavy into multiplayer.
The last number is the single thread rating which is most important for games and desktop quickness.
You could pick any, but ryzen is picky about ram compatibility and needs fast ram to perform best.
Pick integrated graphics if you can. When gpu issues arise, it is invaluable for diagnosing and will keep you going.
