I upgraded my graphics card from an older model and am now looking for the optimal CPU choice. I’m unsure which processor to pick and whether a motherboard is necessary at all. Thanks for your help!
The system could work with an i7-8700 or i9-9900, though a decent price on the used side might be better with an i5-12400 on a B660 board. You’re wondering about your current RAM setup.
I have two 8GB T-Force DDR4 3200 RAM sticks and want to add two more 16GB of the same brand.
The 5600 plus motherboard is also an alternative choice. It might be more affordable compared to dropping prices on the 8700k or 9900k models.
