I have been putting together an upgrade for my gaming rig and have been kinda stuck on deciding the CPU and motherboard.

The main upgrade is the GPU as I plan on getting the AMD RX 6950 XT, but when it comes to cpu and motherboard I have been stuck between:

Intel i5-13600k + MSI MAG Z690 Tomahawk DDR4 (allows me to reuse my existing RAM)

and

Ryzen 5 7600x + MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk (it does require me to buy new RAM, but that's not a huge deal since I can then reuse my existing RAM to upgrade my home server)

Price wise there isn't all that much difference, and the little difference it has will get evened out with other upgrades and adjustments based on the cpu/motherboard choice.

Any feedback on pros and cons of either option is greatly appreciated!

For added context this rig is mainly gaming and some light software development. Nothing heavy in terms of video, 3D, streaming, or AI
