Comparing build specs: 12400F, 13400, 5600, 5800X, and 7600X against the 6900XT Toxic Build.

I recently sold my 9700KF using a Z390 board for 350 Euro and am seeking a platform upgrade. Which CPU should I consider? 13400 at 216 Euro, 12400F at 157 Euro, 5600 at 560 Euro, 5800X at 220 Euro, 7600X at 238 Euro. And which motherboard fits best with an Intel CPU MSI B760-P WIFI DDR4 at 150 Euro, MSI B760 TOMAHAWK WIFI DDR4 at 176 Euro, MSI Z690-A WIFI DDR4 at 198 Euro? For AM4 and AM5 options, I’m leaning toward the MSI B650-P WIFI for 207 Euro, MSI MPG B550 GAMING PLUS for 122 Euro.

Am5 supports only DDR5. Ensure you purchase an Intel board that matches DDR4 specifications. For performance, consider the 13400 + B760 board and pair it with a reliable cooler such as the Peerless Assassin 120.
Missed the chance to mention I can retrieve the RAM right away.
For gaming, consider 5800x3D or 7600X with upgradability (though DDR5 is required). Intel chips are decent but lack upgrade potential. Their energy efficiency isn't great for performance.
They're not just for fun—they're actually useful in gaming and make a noticeable difference.
The survivor configured decompression and texture streaming, similar to in Last of Us Part 1. No problems upon release.
Didn't realize eco modes aren't completely unnecessary for gaming https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/BTc378 Just get a 7700 + b650m-k The built-in cooler should handle it, just run a 5-5.2ghz all-core overclock so it doesn't lag under stock limits capped at 90w
