Consider a graphics card superior to the GT 1030, opt for the 5600X. It outperforms the 5600G across all tasks, especially on X570 boards where PCIe Gen 4 support is available. For graphics matching a GT 1030 or RX 550, the 5600G offers solid performance, though it’s not exceptional.
You're comparing the 5600x to the 5600g, noting its PCIe Gen4 support and increased cache.
It depends on if you need the iGPU or not. Personally, I'd sooner get some cheap, used, good enough graphics card until I could get a better one before I'd go with one of AMD's APUs. It's fine if you just need display out or aren't concerned with gaming (or okay with just light gaming), i.e. your PC is primarily for productivity. However, if you're looking at it as stop gap until you can get a dedicated GPU, then that would be a mistake. You're losing CPU performance you'll never get back, which is all the more pointless if the iGPU is eventually going to go unused.
