Question Will upgrading to the i5-14400F significantly improve gaming and engineering software performance?

[AbdoRamadan]

Hello everyone. First, I want to clarify my full PC specs before asking my question:

• Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics
• GPU: RTX 4060 8GB Asus Dual Fan
• RAM: VENGEANCE® LPX 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3600MHz
• Display: Asus TUF Gaming VG259Q3A (24.5-inch, 1080p, 180Hz)
• Storage:
  
  1. Crucial P2 500GB NVMe SSD
  2. 3TB WD Blue HDD
• Motherboard: Gigabyte B450M S2H V2

Recently, I’ve been experiencing unstable gaming performance and frequent frame drops. I suspect the CPU might be bottlenecking the GPU, so I plan to sell my current CPU, motherboard, and RAM to upgrade to an Intel i5-14400F + Asus Prime B760M-A DDR4. My budget is tight, but I use this PC for gaming and engineering software.

Questions:

1. Will upgrading to the i5-14400F significantly improve gaming and engineering software performance?
2. I’ve heard about issues with 14th-gen Intel CPUs. Are these problems still present in the i5-14400F?

Thank you for your help, and sorry for the long post.

Have you considered just upgrading your CPU and keeping your costs down?

do you mean like upgarde to Ryzen 7 5700x instead my cpu ?

 

[COLGeek]

Yes, something like the 5700X, 5800X, etc.

Lots of choices and can improve performance:

5700x or 5800x can be better choice than i5 14400f ?

i searched if i sold my cpu to buy ryzen 7 5800x it will cost me $100.
and if i sell the motherboard with cpu and buy (i514400f + b760) will cost me 130
Which will be better from 2 choices if I neglect 30$ ?

The Intel CPU will be slightly faster in some things. Very similar levels in other comparisons.

I5 14400f have any crashes or system unstable ?
I hear intel 14th have problems.

By now, those issues have been resolved. Really nothing to worry about.

Keep it simple.....5700x.
Straight swap.....same power draw......nice bump in perf.
