If you are going to buy a GPU, instead of getting this get a 5600x or buy a 10700k or 11600k which have similar performance but have IGPs for basic use or wait for 12th gen in a month where a $260 12600k will beat a 5800x in CPU performance and have an IGP.

If you already have an AMD mobo and want to upgrade, there are CPUs better than this one. But if you want to upgrade, for I believe the cheapest of all AMD cpus right now, its this one.

I've never seen anything that suggests that. Maybe 5%, 10% at worst.
Do you have a source to back that up?
In gaming, sure it might be a bottleneck if you have a $2000 RTX 3090, but - really - you'll likely never notice the couple of FPS difference with a 3070. And the 5600G absolutely destroys (like 100% better - playable 1080 vs unplayable) the i7-11700 if you don't have a GPU in your system yet.
If you want a cost-effective system you can play now that will be upgraded later with a full-flavor GPU, it's worth it. If you just want to save 15% on the GPU cost and are willing to sacrifice 6-8% peak performance for those savings, it's still better. If you have a GPU and want max frames, then get the 5600X.

And it has onboard iGpu. Why shouldn't I buy this and pop in a gpu later?
