Hello i am trying to build my first GPU mining rig (Motherboard, CPU, Ram, Mining frame, Powersupply and GPU risers) for a 6 card build. I was wondering if someone could help me build that for 400$ not including the GPU's. I am newer to crypto mining but have spent months learning the ins and the outs now i want to build my first rig. I have 450$ budget for what i mentioned above. I'd appreciate any help with a parts list if anyone knows what would work. Thank you.

For a six card set up, you power requirements alone are likely to exceed your budgetary requirements. I'd probably be looking at an ATX form-factor motherboard with 4-6 PCI-Ex1 expansion slots. I would not worry about it being the latest generation of processor. Something like this as a starting point:

PCPartPicker Part List

CPU: Intel Core i5-9400 2.9 GHz 6-Core Processor ($167.59 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: Gigabyte B365 HD3 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($99.99 @ Amazon)
Memory: G.Skill Aegis 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-2400 CL17 Memory ($64.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $332.57
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

As you can see, you're already past 75% of your budget and you still haven't looked into riser cards, the mining case, or the power requirements.
