My opinion here on the budget CPUs:
4500: Not great, not horrible, equivalent to a Ryzen 2600.
4600G: Okay if you need an iGPU, the 5600G is a much better all around processor.
5500: Acceptable, equivalent to a 3600. PCIe 3 only. Board manufactures are slow to support this one.
5600: The one to get. It's a very slightly slower clocked 5600x.
5600G: Basically a 5500 with an iGPU. If you only do light gaming, this is a fine option.
5700x: If you need that extra two cores... Which hardly anybody does.

Intel board selection and pricing at Microcenter is a bit underwhelming even with the $20 off. Best as an upgrade
i3-10105: A good upgrade for LGA1200 Pentiums. The secondary and refurbished market is full of i3 chips and systems right now, however.
i5-10400: It's a better option than the 4500, really great deal at $95.
i5-11400: Some improvement over previous gen, paying for PCIe 4 mostly.
i5-12400: Best Intel value, beats the 5600x.

Edit: You're going to spend a bit more than $60; but MSI B660/M-A Pro boards are in and out of stock starting at $119.99 after the $20 discount. These are considered some of the better values for a 12th gen Intel board.

Just to clarify everything, there are $50 coupons for:
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
Intel Core i7-12700K
Intel Core i9-12900K

For every other processor, you can use a $25 coupon. These two coupons cannot be stacked. However, the $20 mobo/cpu combo discount will stack with either coupon.

The $50 coupon makes the 12700k awfully tempting. I was planning on going with the 12700, because I'm not going to OC. But if the prices are this close…
Facing the same decision. Confused by all the aftermarket cooler options and performance variations at different price points, plus the online chatter of incorrect cooler contact pressure, mounting counter measures, proper brackets not included/must be sent out later, etc. Would prefer quieter vs higher temps in an air cooled setup.

12700 and 12700k are basically identical besides overclocking on the 12700k. Regardless of what you choose you do need a cooler that supports LGA1700, you can buy a new cooler with support out of the box, or most companies offer an upgrade bracket kit for coolers made in the last five years. There isnt much to think about beyond that.

You think getting a 12700k is pointless without OC'ing it? I know OC ain't worth a whole lot these days, and it seems that the 12700/12700k are close enough that if you're not going to OC, you're wasting money for the k. But with this deal, the k is cheaper!

I know the 5800x is a dead end platform, but it's between that and the 12700k for me right now. I'm torn though. 12700k makes sense, cause I can upgrade the mobo at least once. But by the time in ready to upgrade (probably 5 or more years) it'd probably make more sense to just get a whole new board and DDR5 might be worth it by then. It's tough these days lol.

I'd probably slap a Noctua on it regardless, like I did on my 8700k build I did years ago

I've been eyeing the 12400 for a while. This may push me over the edge.

Went with a be quiet Dark Rock Pro 4 for my 12700K. Came with a 1700 bracket. Just barely broke 80C running Prime95 on all cores for 5 minutes.

Does this stack with the motherboard/cpu discounts?
Yes - I asked on MC community. But not valid on open box items
