I'm building my first gaming PC and I'm on a budget. I decided to go with an RX 7600 graphics card, but I'm not sure which processor to pair it with. I've heard suggestions for either the Ryzen 5 5600 or the Intel i5-12400F. Which one would be the better choice? I'm new to this, so feel free to ask if you need more details about my components!

I'd recommend going with the Ryzen 5 5600. It tends to have a better upgrade path on the AM4 platform, which is useful if you plan on upgrading your components in the future.
What do you mean by better upgrade path? Won't the Ryzen series eventually end?
