Should I go with AMD or Intel

I’m preparing to refresh my PC soon. Prices are similar now, and recently AMD was about twice the cost, so over 200 euros. I’ll also need to replace my motherboard and RAM, but I expect those to arrive soon. My question is: which option should I choose? I prefer Intel, but I’m also open to other recommendations. Also, I need a website that shows pictures in Estonian—I apologize if there’s someone searching for translation.

I’d choose the 1600AF or 10400F, mainly because it depends on the overall savings of each setup. If you can land a 1600AF for $130, that route seems more appealing.

This processor is a non-f version of the i5-10400.

Noticing these costs suggests opting for a used option if possible. If you can't or prefer not to, AMD offers a more suitable upgrade route for newer models. For these deals, the 3500x seems to be the top choice.

They are identical chips, only the one includes an integrated GPU.

The main distinction lies in whether it includes an iGPU. Save costs by choosing the non-iGPU version if you don’t need it, or opt for the iGPU model if you want it.

My i7-3770 remains capable of running current titles, but I believe it's time to upgrade.
