Our Verdict

The Core i5-14400F is the budget Intel pick for a mid-range gaming PC. It has 10 cores (6 performance and 4 efficient) with boost clocks up to 4.7GHz on the LGA1700 socket, and it runs on affordable B660 and B760 boards with either DDR4 or DDR5, which keeps total build cost down. It includes a basic cooler, and its 65W base power means a modest power supply is enough. The F suffix means there is no integrated graphics, so you need a graphics card to get a picture. It is locked, so it can't be overclocked. Amazon sells it directly and buyers rate it 4.8 stars. Pick it for a 1080p or 1440p gaming build paired with a mid-range GPU; if you need more cores for editing, the i5-14600K is the step up.
