Intel CPU/Nvidia GPU is going to cost you more than AMD CPU/Radeon GPU but I think it's worth it, I can't tell much about AMD since I only had a couple in the late 90s, and they weren't great at all back then. To me, AMD always felt like an overclocked Intel product. It always looked like the budget alternative to Intel. You can't afford an Intel, buy an AMD, bells and whistles comparison list, yeah yeah!
AMD has been cleaning Intel's clock since 2016 and the release of Ryzen CPUs. Lots more performance for lots less money. In addition, their platforms cover more CPU generations.
For example - in 2019, I built a gaming PC based with a Ryzen 7 2700 (Zen+, 8 cores/16 threads), using a B450 motherboard.
This year, I replaced the 2700 with a 5700 (Zen 3, 8 cores/16 threads) - 40% more performance for $179. Didn't even need to replace the stock fan cooler. Just update the bios & Bob's your uncle.
