Looking into upgrades for your gaming rig, you're considering CPU options for 1440p multiplayer. Right now you have a 2060 non-super and plan to replace it with a 3070ti. You're curious about how each would affect performance when you're just gaming.

12600K is clearly the top choice among the options. I’d still opt for the extra 50$ on the 12700f.

For gaming purposes, the added value of extra efficiency cores depends on your setup and needs. The difference in FPS would vary based on the specific hardware configuration and workload.

For gaming purposes, opt for the most affordable options. 5600X and 12400 offer comparable performance, while 12600K provides a slight edge. Even though it's faster, you'll likely hit your GPU limits.

In gaming the 12400 vs 12600K difference is minimal, it's mainly noticeable in productivity tasks where the 12600K offers a noticeable boost. If you need that extra speed, the 12600K is worth the additional cost for the 12700F. I’d choose the 12400(F) over the 5600(X) because it’s likely on a newer socket that will support future CPU generations and usually matches the price. However, if the 5600X and a comparable board are much cheaper, it’s still a solid choice.

5600x typically costs around $199 now, making a mid-range B550 a bit more affordable than a solid B660. The price range from the 12400 up to including the motherboard is fairly consistent. You might find the 5600 nonx for a slightly lower price, since it's essentially similar. The B660 is more likely to support the latest 13th generation chips, while AM4 models are outdated. Ultimately, your choice probably won’t make a big difference.

I have more than enough for my basic productivity needs. I thought the i5 12400 would still beat my current CPU in efficiency, but I was looking for something affordable for 1440p gaming to go with my future 3070ti (or maybe 3080 if prices were better).

If this applies, I'd receive an R5 5600. It functions similarly to the 12400 (with minor variations around 3% based on your tasks) and would still work with your existing motherboard.

I plan to share my system with a friend, which is exactly what I’d do. However, since I need to purchase a new board, I’m leaning toward LGA 1700 because it should support upgrades at least through the 13th generation.

For new builds I’d recommend AMD. They offer solid products, though they’re outdated for AM4.
