Option c is mismatch of k chip cpu with b series motherboard not recommended.

 

[KoChi]

So I guess the remaining is system a?

If only gaming I suggest option B, better gpu and save the 100+ for other components upgrade like add on extra ssd or hdd for storage

Edit* Just to add on Nvidia 3000 series Re-size BAR coming soon for intel board too and you will not miss out any feature available in option A

 

[klap_hanz]

Intel i5 10400F
GIGABYTE B460M Power Motherboard

Save more money if u are not overclocking with a B460 mobo

 

[KoChi]

The parts given is fixed. I can’t change any

Sorry what is re-size BAR?

10400f is actually a good deal compared to 3600

I prefer gigabyte but ultimately depends on how many years warranty they come with.
