Which option performs better for gaming? Comparing the 12400F GPU with an i5 11400 versus a R5 5600G MBO paired with B560 and B550. Both setups include 1070Ti, 2x16GB RAM at 3200MHz DDR4.

12400f should rank highest among the options, especially with that kind of GPU it shouldn't be too much impacted.

If R5 5600 was available, I’d pick the R5 5600. With the options, 12400f looks best. A mid-range board like B550 could handle a drop in 5800x3D, while a budget B560M would struggle with higher-end chips like 13900k or 13600k.

The 5600g paired with a dGPU isn't ideal for gaming due to reduced cache compared to the integrated GPU. It wasn't built for use with a dedicated graphics card. The 12400f is better if you don't expect a significant CPU upgrade.

Reviewing current hardware options, I'll choose either the 5500 or 5600. If the price difference is under $20, go with the 5600. Both models run at 4.7-4.8ghz allcore, which should comfortably surpass the 12400f since it only offers a full 4ghz performance. On Zen3, ICP performs better but still falls short of the extra 700-800mhz speed boost here. The lower cache on these models means you'll need to upgrade your RAM—consider using a used HMA42G6AFR8N and apply some aggressive overclocking to 4000-4400. Dual rank and higher clockspeed will help fill the gap, while the standard 5600 will cap at around 3800-4000 with only minor improvements in lows.

Compare OC stock R5 5600G with 12400F, and ensure the CPU gets excellent cooling to prevent overheating along with a reliable power source.

Avoid the 5600G. As mentioned before, it's half the cache with just PCIE3 support.

You really dont know how ocing works do you? Stock cooler is crap, even a 4 heatpipe like the se 214 xt will be fine for an overclocked 5600/5500 But for non oc the 12400f when compared to these 2 cause stock clocks are trash
