Whats better this or the intel i5 9400f? null

All depends on what you are using it for. The i5 9400 will slightly out perform the R5 2600 in single core and quads core performance, which means you would see slightly higher Fran rates in gaming and certain applications. The i5 is only 6 cores/6 threads. The r5 is 6 cores/12 threads. If you are doing something you need more threads, like rendering, then the r5 is gonna blow the i5 out of the water. All in all. I’d say go with the r5 because of price and the minimal difference in performance you get plus the hyper threading. I’d say if you put at least 3200mhz ram and overclock the r5 you would be able to close the performance gap between the two. However, like I said it’s a minimal performance gap.

I wish I could help you but I always use AMD processors for my builds since the early 2000's. I'm using the Ryzen 5 with an Asus ROG Crosshair VI Hero motherrboard with Corsair Vengeance (2PKx16GB) and it's running fine.
