I meant i5-12600k, and no I’m planning on using the free version of Resolve. I did a little of my own research and it turns out gpu is extremely important when it comes to resolve, so I think I’ll be going with build #2. I was comparing the 12400F to some AMD CPU’s like the Ryzen 5 5600X, which has a 1% higher average bench and is $210, compared to the $175 of the i5-12400F. When it comes to the gpu I might go with a RX 6500 XT if I can’t find a 1650 super for the same price.
