I see, you could begin with the 8600g and possibly add a card later. The article below from Tom should offer some insight into performance. Page 3 includes several gaming benchmarks. It would be wise to verify if those figures are acceptable for your needs.

Consider the differences between the two models and your needs.
The 5600GT is the latest, while the 5600G offers a slightly higher clock speed, though it's not a major factor.
If you don’t plan to overclock, the standard cooler should suffice.

It seems the 5600gt is only slightly faster.

Remember these two CPUs use AM4 sockets and DDR4 memory, while the components in your earlier posts were AM5 sockets requiring DDR5.

I have made my final choice for an AM5 build with these details:
CPU: R5 8600G
Mobo: Gigabyte B650M K or MSI PRO B650M-P (as per your search)
RAM: 2x8GB
PSU: Corsair CX650 650W (per your search)
Storage: M.2 NVME 512 GB, M.2 SATA 256 GB, SATA SSD 512 GB
Casing: Any standard case
Future GPU options: Arc B580 or RX 7600XT

Regarding the motherboards, which one do you think offers better specs? I won’t be overclocking the CPU or GPU and won’t upgrade the CPU later.

For the PSU, with these specifications and the planned GPU, will it be enough? Or should I opt for a lower wattage?

Lastly, about the R5 8600G: it has 20 PCIe 4.0 lanes, but only 16 are usable. How will those 16 lanes be distributed among the components? And what purpose will the remaining 4 lanes serve? This might seem a bit unclear to someone new to the topic.

Thanks.
