But why AMD Ryzen and not Intel. Intel has existed for a long time and I trust them. My old PC use to have an intel processor. But I know Nothing of AMD. And I think I’ll go with Nvidia too. My old computer used to have an intel and a nvidia.

Mainly Intel Core security flaws and lack of innovation, compounded with vast overpricing, made many in the know lose trust and faith in Intel since AMD Ryzen launched in 2017. Intel even runs hotter and uses more power than Ryzen. The casuals don't really care and the gaming hardcore still have reason to go with Intel, though marginally justified, otherwise Ryzen is the way to go until Intel get's it's act together again, whenever that takes place. At least Intel's prices have come down to a more reasonable level due to strong competition.

AMD Radeon has trailed Nvidia GeForce for the last decade overall and for good reason. Nvidia is more focused and determined than Intel and didn't slack off when they've been ahead. AMD also has had to deal with CPU's and GPU's, so it's focus is split. Since the 400 series in 2016, Radeon hasn't been that bad in general based on it's price to overall performance vs Nvidia. With the new RDNA arch in the 5000 Series and especially 6000 Series now, Radeon cards have become considerably more competitive with GeForce, though Nvidia still has the edge. Radeon 6000 Series has also kept GeForce prices from getting even more outrageous with their new 3000 Series.
