many choose AIOs for style rather than speed, even if a better model existed. It’s important to consider individual tastes as well. It’s similar to picking a matching Intel and AMD CPU—if they cost the same but one is 5% faster, I’d still prefer Intel unless I decide to try AMD someday.

Note: The Z490 board may have limited overclocking potential. If you wish to overclock, consider the 5600X model, which could offer better performance despite higher power consumption and slightly reduced efficiency. Wait for the 5600X price to fall before purchasing; otherwise, buying the AMD 5600X at around €80 savings compared to Intel might be a smart choice.
The MSI B550 A-Pro is priced around 5600x, which is about 300€. Now that the MSI model is under 100€ in Germany, it's a great deal when the price falls.
