Cheap motherboard for i5-12400f
You're starting your PC build from scratch and have a budget in mind. The cheapest motherboard compatible with your i5 12400f is likely to be a budget-friendly option like the B550 or similar entry-level models. As for the 5GHz 5600X, while they perform similarly, the price difference between them is minimal—both are around 120€ locally. Consider opting for the lower-end model to save costs without sacrificing too much in performance.
The most affordable option is a H670 board or possibly a discounted B660 board. However, finding a precise recommendation depends on your location.
I reside in Finland and have been searching for some time. I discovered an ASRock B760M-HDV d4 priced at 100€. Previous options I saw cost between 80-90€, but they were mostly H610 models.
