currently, only reason to consider Ryzen would be if you got Radeon GPU, I personally own 12400F and planing on getting 13400 when it becomes available on used market in future. i doubt AMD will have anything in that price range to compete with 13400 because AM5 is expensive. and there is not much difference in ddr4 and ddr5 build as far as seen from youtube videos. maybe for production-related work but I doubt people buying such processors are going to use it for heavy production (3d rending and the sort)
