Hi.
Looking for the cheapest DDR4 AMD 6 core upgrade possible.
Looking for 16GB of ram.the motherboard doesn't need any bells and whistles for overclocking or anything special.

Its purely an upgrade from an older DDR3 I5-4590.light gaming and browsing mostly.
Thanks
 
i notice that pretty much all of the AM4 budget boards are pre order.whats the reason for this and how do you find out pre order ETA's please?

It seems that OC are not refreshing there motherboard stock as most other retailers seem to have a good selection of amd B550 motherboards in stock.

As an alternative this is an intel 6 core setup but its older tech (2 gen old now)

My basket at OcUK:

Total: £321.46 (includes delivery: £10.50)​

this looks interesting. i've kept out of the loop on pc parts for a long time and didn't realise intel were doing 6 cores similar prices to AMD.had it in my head an intel 6 core was going to be way more than this is priced.
I mostly play PS5 now days but do play FFXI,league and warframe on PC now and then.all at 1080p with 8gb ram.just fancied treating my self to a 6 core upgrade for a while now and thought AMD was the way to go for 6 cores.
Thanks for your posts everyone :)

The 12100F is a very good option. It might only be 4 cores / 8 threads but it's plenty fast and very efficient (which I take is a priority?)

It also gives you a nice upgrade path to a 12400F/13400F/13600F/13700F down the road if you need/want a bit more processing power.

Socket 1700 is EOL with the 13th gen but that doesn't mean it's not a good option for those people who just want a gaming rig that'll last 5 years until they will just buy a new Motherboard anyway.

is socket 1700 the current newest? i'm still on 1150 so not kept up with all these modern sockets.

what exactly is your total budget?
ps: you don't have to get everything from ocuk, there are other etailers that may be cheaper

well i already have the ram thats being recommended above.so around £150-170 for cpu and maybe £100 max for motherboard? i could push more maybe if it can push me in to an upgrade path that can save me future upgrades/more modern socket etc.
i'd of gone DDR5 but the mobos bit pricy for my liking at £200 (ocuk).
I've not seen many other retailers for prices.always been with ocuk as the support was always decent but currently i just can't seem to get anything from them.like i ordered a monitor the other day,they took the £200,it was in stock,then 2 days later i get an email saying its not in stock.
IF you could DM me other known trusted retailers that would be great
