The best cpu I've ever used in a build :-) 3/4 of the performance of an overclocked 12600K at half the cost. Get the "F" version (no video) for $179 at Newegg (even cheaper elsewhere).
And don't waste $$ on a Z690 motherboard - these work amazing on a $139 B660 board. Except for overclocking, the B660 offers everything the Z boards do.

Any brand of motherboards you recommend? I see you mentioned a $139 B660. I would also like to be able to have a 2.5gb ethernet on the motherboard too for some future proofing. I should be able to build a decent office machine for $500 ish or so (hopefully) with 16gb of ram and a decent ssd drive.
I am near a Microcenter so that's a plus for me

I know, not everyone lives near one, but you should still know the price bar.
Plus...Newegg just sucks. You should always give pause even if they have the best price.

ASUS or MSI for the motherboard?
Any RAM recommendations (brand /speed) that at least Ed worked at their XMP speeds?

This is only worth it if you are needing Intel, but I feel like this would be a better deal if it was like $160

This CPU doesn't see a real world increase in performance with faster MHz ram, I would stick with 3200 MHz cl-16 ram. Put that money towards capacity. I've been pretty happy with teamgroup ram but timetec is also good ram if you don't care about flash, both work with xmp no problems in my experience.

I bought into B560 and i3 10100 last year, because of shortages of AMD chips.
But now I want to upgrade my CPU, and the best I can do is 11th gen like i5-11600k.
It is doable, but expensive right now, plus I need to buy a cooler.

If your choosing a cpu for gaming. They're identical. Then numbers speak for themselves. And the 12400 doesn't have the E cores that the 12600k does. Your argument is invalid.
If you're playing a game and you're already getting over 150 fps, you're not gonna see a difference between 150 and 155fps. And that's compared to a 12600k. And the 12400 doesn't compare. It's a good processor. I mean at the end of the day you can't go wrong with either one. They are both gonna be excellent at anything you throw at it. I don't mean to say anything negative and I'm not an AMD fan boy. But you didn't give me any facts and I just shared with you some facts.
Besides who is realistically here, going to pair a 12400 with a motherboard that supports DDR5, and they're going to spend as much as they are on CPU and motherboard just on memory alone for a processor that's good, but not nearly as good as it could be had they got something like the 12700k. When your talking budget systems you have to use common senseā¦.. I digress
