Hi Guys
Questioning CPU choice cause of cost specifically the lack of good intel motherboards with good IO compared to AMD (AM4) motherboards
But is this a good choice ? Was looking at an Intel i5 13400 or 13500 is AMD close or can be better ?
6 Cores would be okay but would like 8
Thanks

Budget is around 20k can stretch it to 22k
Will use the PC for gaming some work with VMs hence the extra cores needed general use
Currently have a 6 Core i7 laptop with a 1050Ti but fan died so cannot use it for anything stressful
Gaming would be around 1440p and 4K if possible
Thanks

There were 2 question marks 
Assuming gaming:
Intel 13400 vs and 7600 is going to be much of a muchness paired with a 3060ti.
If you’re looking at AM4/Ryzen 5000, then I’d definitely go with the 13400, as even the 12400 was a better gaming choice on the “low” end

Agreed. I am not sure which way I'd go really, I'd have to look over the charts and so on but I'm thinking the 5800X maybe.

Yea I don’t want something overkill cpu wise but I will run some vms so the extra cores help
Don't forget RAM, you'll need a decent amount if you're running a bunch of VMs. Luckily that can always be added later.

Whoa thanks a lot here @UrBaN963 ! It’s genuinely tough to pick here but the intel one didn’t include a motherboard
Damn that would make it more expensive

Woot has some decent options think 32gb Corsair ram for the RGB ones at 1599
That's weird, I had chosen one. Here's an updated one with a motherboard.

Noticed AM4 only supports PCI express 3.0 only
Edit : I see 4.0 support on the 5800x but I’ll need integrated graphics just for the month before I get the GPU

Considering price, you have made this difficult between AMD and IntelThat's weird, I had chosen one. Here's an updated one with a motherboard.
