You're considering whether 6 cores will handle gameplay with your i5-12400F, and you're weighing it against your current Ryzen 3 2200G. It's a good question—6 cores should be sufficient for most games, but performance can depend on the specific titles and how they utilize multi-core processing. If you're planning to upgrade later, the 12600K offers more power, but right now your setup seems capable.

Which games are available? What resolution supports them? Is the GPU capable? Also, what motherboard model is it? If I had to estimate, swapping to an AMD CPU would likely be cheaper than updating the motherboard.

Currently I own an A320M Pro E from MSI. I play various types of games, mainly FPS and racing titles at 1080p resolution. My Radeon RX 6500 XT isn’t ideal, but I acquired it during the supply issues.

Consider a bit more for the 12400 non F (or 12500 if it matches the cost or is lower). Intel's integrated graphics can handle encoding as well, and perform better than Nvenc and AMF.

From what I understand, Venc performs much quicker than QuickSync.

12400 performs well and I tested Intel QS vs NVIDIA and NVENC. It really improved streaming and recording for me. Using NVDIA on my 8700K was quite demanding, but it still delivers solid frame rates—especially in games. The performance is definitely noticeable.
