Very solid, nothing much to change apart from subjectivity. Insanely good prices for most of these. Go for it.

thanks i might stick with the one i had as the micro atx worked better with my flat size. Would you say that the 12400f is more upgradable over going with amd m4 chips.

Despite AM4 being an entire socket old, it's good. For Intel to get the fullest out of upgradability, you'd need a way better motherboard for Intel so that you can add K CPU's that need a Z board to get the fullest out of them. A realistic upgrade I can see is to something like a 5700X3D that'll beat a reasonable upgrade to something like a 14400.

 

I'd stick with Ryzen, especially when the prices are this low during sale.
