I would go with AMD as it offers better upgrade path with that nice X470, and its just better value for your money.

Main system: Ryzen 7 7800X3D / Asus TUF Gaming B650-Plus / G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO 32GB 6000Mhz / Zotac RTX 5090 SOLID OC/ x2 WD_BLACK NS770 2TBs/ Corsair HX1000i/ NZXT H5 Flow

I'd get a different board for Ryzen though, Ultra gaming is an interesting board but not worth buying otherwise. MSI B450 Tomahawk for example

Better value board that has beefy enough vrm for upgrading to more power hungry stuff.

 

And maybe a better cooler for 2600 so that you can oc it.
