3060 gets 48-52 and is incredibly easy to set up with the leaked drivers.
5600G is a more sought after CPU as it isn't sold outside of prebuilts. 5800x is the least desirable Zen 3 cheap and has been going on sale while the others remain mostly out of stock. 5800x is faster for workloads than 5600x but is the hottest Zen 3 chip per dye.
I'd go with the 3060 build, especially since you could sell the GPU later and run the 5600G without a GPU for a bit while the 5800x can not.
Edit: the birthday promotion appears during checkout and appeared to be good for the month.

And...I think it's a better machine and a value for your money!
Came with MSI 3070 2 fan GPU

As I recall, Tom's Hardware discovered that the Ryzen 3300X (4C/8T) was better than the Ryzen 7 Pro 4750G (8C/16T) when gaming with a RTX 2080 Ti at 1080p due to the 4750G having half the L3 cache of the 3300X. Also the 5600X has 32 MB L3 cache; while, the 5600G has 16 MB L3 cache.

~$800 for 3060
$300 for 5600x (no igpu and slightly different clock speeds)
~$100-$150 b550 mobo
~$50-$100 better case
~$50-$100 better PSU
~$50-$100 better cooling
~$60-$80 better ram
~$50-$100 for nvme gen 3 storage, ~$150 for 1tb gen 4.
Though I'd suggest getting an i5-10400 or i5-11400 (~$140-$200 depending on deals) and cheap b560 since it is a much better value.
With this Omen, you get a case, mobo, and psu with basically no resale value. You get an unknown brand 3060/3060 Ti. You get slower ram. I can't see anything that says it is PCIe Gen 4 storage or if the motherboard is compatible to get things like resizable BAR, etc.
The fact that you can pay a scalper and STILL get near the price while picking higher quality components makes this sit in a strange place value wise.
The 3060 Ti goes for $1100-$1200 from scalpers. 5800x can be had for $450 (or a few bucks less on a good day) so the value is a LITTLE better there.
I just talked myself out of this as I wanted a second PC, but I could just build one without proprietary, bad warranty, bullshit AND still pay a scalper.
It did dropped the temps by a lot.
See youtube how to do it.
My pc took 2 months to be deliverd by the way.
