Which nation is this? The model number 11400 works best when the cost matches. The 3600 and 5600x are the AMD variants. The 10400f tends to be quite affordable and offers solid value.

In that price range you'd typically find: 3300x, 3600, 3600x, 3500, 3500x, 3100, 10600, 10600k. The 10400f is considered the most value for money at the moment.

Europe, Slovakia the build is a warning before I install. I bought it for a good price around 1070 and an i5 7400, but after using it for some time I realized the CPU was terrible—it kept hitting max and slowed down a lot. I’m thinking about upgrading now, so I need a new motherboard but my current case is made for that exact model. I’ll also replace the power supply since mine is outdated (ketchup and mustard kind). I believe it doesn’t have a 24-pin connector, only 16-pin, so I’ll be switching the whole setup to support the new CPU. My plans are to get an Intel i5 10400F with NZXT h510, NZXT Kraken X53, GIGABYTE B460M, AORUS PRO, and an EVGA 750 B5.

The 10400f is a durable processor, I owned one for some time.
