I can't decide what to buy i been doing researches for over 10 hours please help
And im mostly a eSports gamer i wont be rocking the latest games with the top tier graphics too much ☺

Both are ok. Neither will bottleneck the 5060 anyway.

I know, just wanted to know which will provide higher performance
Illustrious-Owl1446@reddit
The 7500F 100%, the 12400F is like equal to a previous gen Ryzen 5 5600, and the 7500F is a lot better than that
saskayy@reddit (OP)
That motherboard is good for the job or what?
renzbo19@reddit
try and get a b650 atleast
saskayy@reddit (OP)
Would it make any difference in performance?
renzbo19@reddit
some quality of life things like PBO and Undervolting which can benefit your cpu, PBO for getting a slight increase in cpu performance and undervolting which can make the cpu run cooler that the a620 chipsets cant support.
B650's also has PCIE 4.0 support on gpus, making them run slightly run faster (5-8fps difference) and generally just beefier vrms and heatsinks that can help keep thermals under control when in heavy load
Price difference shouldnt be that huge either so the jump to a b650 is worth to consider

Should i buy 1 stick of ram or 2 ? ( total 16 )
Krackorn87@reddit
No always get two sticks of ram.
renzbo19@reddit
also try and get close to 6000MT/s in ram speed, as they're considered the sweet spot for ryzen cpus
saskayy@reddit (OP)
16gb is nearly the price of the GPU, lol.
renzbo19@reddit
tough market
renzbo19@reddit
With the current prices of ram these days (although they're slowly dropping in price), I'd suggest getting a single stick of 16gb right now so that you can upgrade it to dual sticks (32gb total) in the future.
saskayy@reddit (OP)
Other than upgrading does it matter for performance if i have 1 or 2 sticks?
renzbo19@reddit
yup, having dual sticks gives a good boost in fps compared to a single stick but a single stick should still do you fine
saskayy@reddit (OP)
yea that is helpful thank you.
jonstoppable@reddit
Nah. Its an older board , and was "budget " when released Gigabyte B650M DS3H is newer budget board .
Or if you can afford , something better as it will be easier to just have to upgrade cpu in a few years to a zen 6 chip
saskayy@reddit (OP)
Well B650M is nearly double the price so i don't know if i have the budget for it, and does the one i gigabyte one would decrease the performance of the current bulid by any chance? Thats what im worried about i dont really care about upgrading later for now.

Usually I would go with a 12400F because it would be hundreds cheaper and thus a better balance with a -60 tier GPU.
However the 7500F is decidedly better and if both are the same price then this is a no-brainer.
saskayy@reddit (OP)
They are both the same price but the thing is ddr5 ram are more expensive
aminy23@reddit
Right, which is why Intel usually ends up cheaper.
That money could potentially cover other upgrades like a 5060 -> 9060XT.
For example here in the US a 12600KF + 16GB 9060XT is a great alternative to a 7500F + 8GB 5060.

Prices in my country are way inflated so if wanna get that i would pay over 1.5k and you didn't even mention the case or SSD so that's tough for me
aminy23@reddit
I mentioned these as a direct comparison.
The case, SSD, CPU cooler, PSU, etc would be exactly the same.
The motherboard, RAM, CPU, etc is different.
That's why usually Intel LGA1200 is a better choice for economy builds because it's cheaper with DDR4 and you can do things like GPU upgrades because of it.
But if AM5 with DDR5 is the same price, then by all means it's better.
bringbackcayde7@reddit
with A620M board, you might not be able to use pbo for 7500f and if it's a single stick of 16gb ram and also having low speed of 4800mhz and cl40, you might run into low 1% fps issues.
saskayy@reddit (OP)
Yea im switching it with B650M
ZxExN@reddit
I am assuming this is a used PC? What are their prices?
saskayy@reddit (OP)
No new
saskayy@reddit (OP)
Around 1000$ both of the bulids
ZxExN@reddit
if theyre the same price and GPU is the same 8gb, then go with the 7500f. You are getting ddr5 ram and its slightly better than the 12400f.
