Hello! You're thinking about setting up a gaming PC with a mainboard that supports DDR4, since DDR5 is still expensive and not ideal for now. You also plan to overclock the CPU later.

Could you consider saving some cash by opting for an i5 12600k instead? It offers ten cores, with six being hyperthreaded and four single-threaded. No game significantly changes performance between the two, especially since modern chips rarely hit CPU bottlenecks.

It depends on your needs, but pairing an RTX 3090 with a 5600G can be great for performance.

The main drawback of the 5600G is its cache performance, which lags behind options like the 12600k or 5600x. The 12600k is slightly more expensive.
