This is my current build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/j9d9KX

Planning on upgrading the cpu as it’s the only part of my build that I haven’t in a long time. But a bit lost on what the upgrade should be. Is the 13400F a decent jump in performance from the 8700? Is paying 60 usd more for the 13400F over the 12400F worth it or is its price to performance not justified?

What about the 13500? Is it worth paying 110 usd more for it over the 12400F?

And what mobo will pair well with it? DDR4 as I want to reuse the memory I already have

    It depends a lot on your budget. In my opinion the 13400f is worth it over the 12400f. But i wouldn’t pick the 13500 if you use it only for gaming, if you want something more powerfull you might as well pick a 13600k.

    I wouldn’t cheap too much on the mobo, something like a DDR4 B760 board would be a good pair with enough head room if you want to put a better 13 or 14 gen cpu in the futur.
