Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Keeping ddr4 you are either looking at am4 and a 5800xt or an intel 12600
- Or 12th gen or higher intel like 12600, 13600, 14600
- I'd grab a used 12th Gen i5/i7/i9: 12400, 12500, 12600, 12700 or 12900.
- 12600k is cheaper and faster.
- Any RAM or CPU upgrade will require a new motherboard, which means you'd be better off upgrading the CPU as well to something like any intel 12th gen CPU like a 12400 or 12600 and 16/32GB of DDR4-3600.
Cons
- 12600, 13600 and 14600 are kinda all the same so probably too little of an upgrade coming from a 12400

12600 appears to be the best value CPUs with integrated graphics
Or any similar sku's like the 12600, 13400, 14400 etc.
