I5 2500k upgrade / Final fantasy 14 pc

[Wing-Man]

Your 5600 is a nice CPU my friend but the 12400 is faster, simple.

i didn't buy it because i thought it was faster, it was drop in upgrade from my 3XXX chip.

how ever i do stand corrected, man can admit when hes wrong. i was under the impression they exchanged blows in games. as a lot of other YouTube videos do show.

Aren't they still hard to find? I kinda gave up on the ps5 I remember my series x was so easy to buy and the ps5 was going for over 1k on the bay

as your looking at a full system upgrade... this is a good option if all the games you want/play are on the PS5

CPU, Motherboard, Ram, GPU can be done for the same price £550 but you need to hit the used market.
i don't like used GPU's


cheapest parts that OCuK have, i think a ps5 would game better.
intel can be dont cheper if you go i3 or older i5 but i get lost in the socket compatibly, you could move the GPU up a level if you went i3 intel

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x MSI B550M PRO-VDH WiFi (AMD AM4) B550 Micro-ATX Motherboard (SKU: MB-358-MS) = £129.95
• 1 x Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 16GB (2x8GB) 3600 MHz AMD Ryzen Tuned DDR4 Memory Dual Kit (CMK16GX4M2Z3600C18) (SKU: MY-4BW-CS) = £55.99
• 1 x AMD Ryzen 5 5600 Six Core 4.4GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-3D2-AM) = £149.99
• 1 x PowerColor Radeon RX 6500 XT Fighter 4GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GX-1AF-PC) = £169.99
• 1 x AMD Radeon™ Raise The Game Bundle - Dead Island 2 & The Callisto Project (SKU: XX-03A-AM) = £0.00

Total: £516.42 (includes delivery: £10.50)​

They do in a lot of games, BUT the edge cases where either the AMD or Intel are ahead, the Intel tends to win harder (higher percentage lead), and it pegs out as just a little faster overall.
Example being Riftbreaker which just hates AMD. Darktide also does not seem to like AMD as much atm either, but that game has plenty of other issues, not just CPU usage.

This is where the costing per platform comes to play. If the AMD setup is 2/3 the price, its a clear no brainer (as long as you don't mind not having much of an upgrade path), whereas if they're similar price, the 12400 makes sense, and allows the drop in of a higher end 12/13th gen chip later. DDR5 is also becoming more affordable for those starting fresh, and it essentially carries the benefits of essentially being dual channel, even if you only start with one stick and add another later

They're both great platforms, and I seriously considered AM4 when I picked up kit a short while back, but ended up picking up the Mortar Max after finding a good deal on a 12400, so I could push my 12400 to 5GHz+
