I gathered some links for you to get a better understanding of what I'm seeing from the bigger more reputable reviewers that I know of:
Quotes for cliff notes:
"The Ryzen 5 5600 is also basically a 5600X-killer — it doesn't make sense to spend the extra cash for such slim gains". - Tom's hardware
"The Ryzen 5 5600X is only 2.1% faster—almost exactly the same number as in application performance tests. Even processors like the mighty Ryzen 5800X and 5900X are only 5% faster." - Tech Power-up
"...we're looking at on average a 1.5 to maybe 3 percent range of difference...our opinion not worth it..." - Gamers Nexus

It's a b450 motherboard, so I don't think we would see much of a difference. I just want a capable processor for video compression, and I want it at a good price.

It's been running strong since building my first Ryzen (3000) rig back in Dec 2019 and I haven't had any issues. I got mine on discount for $127.50 (not including taxes) brand new at the time. You might have to update the firmware via Bios Flashback IF the board you get is only prepped for 3000-series CPUs and not 5000. The board doesn't come w/ all the fancy bells and whistles such as onboard WiFi and Bluetooth, attached I/O shield, etc. which I prefer that way since I'll always have the option of connecting USB powered devices capable of those features, and also in order to turn my rig into a Hackintosh which can be very finicky a/b certain internal components. If you prefer a board that comes included w/ those missing feature sets I mentioned then you can try the ASUS AM4 TUF Gaming X570-Plus [newegg.com] since it's very similar to my board.

5600G is same price as 5600X if not more bc it has that iGPU. Save ur money and go for a better gpu if ur not satisfied with the 6600xt. 6700xt is 330ish rn and I get 90 fps avg on high settings most games.
You have to watch out for shills (self promoters) here on SD. They will tell you to buy buy buy when performance increase is very small. That's a good chip.
Ask questions on Reddit and look at benchmarks on YT yourself.
