For the vast majority of people this will make almost no difference though.

My current setup is: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-4150 CPU @ 3.50GHz 3.50 GHz 8gb RAM.
Using Photoshop and LightRoom for photos along with DXO PureRaw3, and Adobe Premiere and DaVinci Resolve for video. For my budget I'm hoping to stay with a processor GPU vs external.
So if I understand correctly, if RAM is cheaper for the 4600G, since my photos and videos aren't for business, you'd recommend just going for the 4600G over the AM5 series and save the bux? That would probably come close to the bux needed for a MB.
DaVinci Resolve is different than Adobe software.
Adobe software hardly use more than 8 cores.
DaVinci Resolve can use about 12 cores; and a 16 cores CPU is still a bit faster than 12 cores but it's not faster by much.
Now knowing you are using many different software.
There isn't one best performance CPU for all of them.
For rendering work, 4600G overall is a bit faster than 5300G and slower than 5600G.
5700G is not the cheapest one. It's still a 8 cores 16 threads CPU; it should be 4x faster than your 2cores 4 threads i3 CPU when rendering. DDR4 RAM is cheap. Buying DDR4 16GB RAM ($35ish each) x 2 or x 4 may make sense. The problem with Vega 8 iGPU is that it's very old. The latest hardware encoding (HEVC Main 10 & AV1)are not supported.
So, there isn't a best in value CPU for your case.

Not a bad route to build up a PC with GPU while you save up for a GPU.
Got the 5600G version during the Great GPU Shortage and it worked well. FWIW, I'm going to give my kid my 5600X + some TBD GPU < $300 (I just upgraded to the 5800X3D), then repurpose the 5600G to some miniITX build and hook it up to my TV or something (suggestions welcome).

I've been looking for a while at the AMD Ryzenâ„¢ 5 4600G, 6-Core, 12-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor for $100, and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G 6-Core 12-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor for $123 and now the 5700G.
I don't yet have a MB to fit, but which processor including the 5700G in this thread would be the best bang for the buck or for the performance? Would I be able to tell the difference between those three? I'm not a gamer, just using the rig for photo and video editing and processing, but some of the processing can be somewhat intense. I'm thinking the processor should be the first choice and then I'll find an affordable MB to fit the budget.
Thanks to all in advance.
The iGPU on these AMD G chips can support limited offload, but it's a low end GPU. So the end results is that it's not much faster than just using the CPU cores. And not as many things support Radeon or VCE offload.

This may be the lowest price but it's been within $10 of it intermittently for months. (My buy price: $150.)

The hidden greatness of this chip is its low power consumption. Builders will typically spend many times the system cost on electricity over the equipment's life.
The 5700G will cut those costs down while providing very respectable performance.
Been watching a few mITX boards for price drops, would like to build a system with this CPU and powered by a 200w power brick (fanless / noiseless). Maybe by summer.

If you can spend a bit more, the current best (on a budget) video editing CPU is the i5-13500, which is $237 at Newegg https://www.newegg.com/intel-core...68191184
