was hoping to go amd on the cpu 

Any reason why? The 4500 gets outclassed easily by the 12400f as well as having better upgradibility since am4 sockets are end of life.

I went micro-ATX to reduce the price a bit. You'll also definitely want a b550 motherboard for 5th gen Ryzen, especially for a new build.

It's not like he doesn't have an upward path with AMD even if the platform is eol. Getting a DDR4 intel board will mean you'll probably want to upgrade that anyways later so not really much of a distinction.

Sure, but at least on intels side you'll get the new innovations on intels 13th gen while on the other hand ryzen final release was the 5800x3d iirc. Im not saying am4 dosent have any upgradibilty, it just won't be as good as raptor lake appears to be. My point still stands though that the 4500 will definitely get outclassed by the 12400f

While I agree the 12400f would cream the 4500 it's not exactly a good choice on his end cause it's 100 bucks less with the cpu/mobo combo lol. Not saying he shouldn't go intel but personally I really enjoy how low power my ryzen desktop is even at full load in the summer heat.

Yea, that about what id expect from a worse perfroming chip. I'm fairly confident I've stayed within budget.

Although the mobo i suggested appears to have gone off sale.

If they would want to constrain further to the budget,  the cpu cooler could be removed, 16 gigs  of ram, cheaper case ect. Sure you could get a worse cpu pump it all into the gpu or save it, but I'd rather make a balanced list within the budget that was given 

I'd pay 70 dollars extra for a 12400f and b660 imo, but op can do what they want

The R5 4500 is total crap though. The R5 5500 already gets beaten by the i3 12100/F.

I don't believe I said otherwise. Was just saying that going AMD in general is fine.

Ryzen is fine as long as you buy a good cpu. The 5500 and below are not worth it, especially with a $1000 budget.

Why are you recommending one of the worst, and most basic, motherboards you can get with b660? It's not like OP's budget is that tight. Going with Ryzen would surely allow for a better motherboard, with better vrms, and an integrated I/O shield.

Performance will speak for itself.

They might as well buy a prebuilt, with that crappy motherboard.
