i5 12400F is so hard to beat for price/performance
Just throw a sticker on it that says Ryzen 5 5600x and I'll be content.

Can overclock the 12400f via bclk with surprising results, stock cooler is fine unless/until you decide to overclock. Can shave off $30 going 2x8gb ram instead.

Pcpartpicker won't always get you the best deals, be aware of local deals.
With a cpu like that you'd be throwing down for a gpu for far more. You can optimize with far less powerful components.
Ryzen 7 5700x can play nearly anything in 1080/60, and id argue that no person needs more than that. But here we sit, continuing to spend.... Is this an addiction...
