You're evaluating two budget CPUs—the Intel i3 1300f and the AMD Ryzen 5 5500. I'm not sure which fits your needs best, but both are solid options. For your setup with 8GB RAM, 500GB SSD, and an AMD Radeon RX 6600, the Ryzen 5 offers better performance and efficiency. As for the motherboard, a good budget choice would be the ASUS B560 or MSI B460, both supporting AMD Ryzen well. Let me know if you'd like more details!

8 gigabytes of RAM... maybe consider another approach. By 2023 this could be problematic. I’d opt for the 5500 on any affordable board available. It’s a budget chip, so you won’t have to stress too much about power ratings.
