I'm trying to decide between the i5 14400F and the R5 7500F for my build. I'll be using 32GB of 6000MHz CL30 RAM and an RTX 5060, and my main goals are to play some basic VR, stream, and game at 1080p. Any suggestions?

Honestly, both processors are pretty similar. If price is a concern, just grab the cheaper option. I personally lean towards the 7500F since it's on the AM5 socket, which is better for future upgrades.
I'd go with the R5 7500F for better upgradability in the future. But just be cautious and avoid Asrock AM5 motherboards—they can be a bit dodgy.
True, but the i5 14400F is actually $0.14 cheaper right now! Just something to consider.
