I’d pick the 12600K for CPU power. It outperforms the 5800x in both single-thread and multi-threaded tasks. The 5700G lags behind the 5800x, has less cache, only PCIe 3 support, and a lower clock speed. For graphics, it’s a mixed bag—Vega 8 edges out Intel UHD 770, but both are outdated for 2021. Remember, Vega is from 2017 and may struggle with modern workloads unless paired with a dedicated GPU. Avoiding 12th-gen issues means opting for a 5800x or downgrading to a GT 1030 (GDDR5) now would be smarter. It’s better suited for gaming and you can resell it later or use it as a backup. The downsides of the G-series are minimal except in niche scenarios like non-gaming, HTPC, or super high-end builds.
