I agree but if you're building out one of those fancy pc's with custom cooling and lighting...this card might be worth it. It looks really good.

You're gaining about ~6fps. So let's round up to an extra 10fps for $150 more vs stock.
But......RGB. Very wow.

Between your two combinations, I'd take the 7700 and get it with the Asrock GPU and save some money and power. If you're not going "all-out" just save the cash.I know that these new X chips are supposed to run at 90-95C but it's really uncomfortable. I have my 7950X in eco mode and running at 105W and after a gaming session, the tempered glass in my case is hot to the touch. Really unsettling.
If that deal comes back this would maybe be worth it, right now its too expensive

Is there a general principle that certain types of games or certain publishers put out games that lean heavily on CPU or GPU? Or is it just random?

The higher the resolution, the more GPU-bound you are (which is why many professional review sites use 1080p resolution when reviewing CPUs). That's not to say the CPU is irrelevant when running high resolutions. You want to ensure your CPU isn't bottlenecking your GPU. Generally, if you have a super high-end card, you'll want to pair it with a high-end CPU (Ryzen 7 or Core i7).
Reading CPU/GPU reviews is a great way to glean info on which games are bound one way or another, and/or which games favor team red vs. green.
