For only $11 though…. I'd rather get the K cpu knowing I could pull the GPU out and still have a bootable system (for whatever reason, testing, diag, letting a friend borrow the GPU, etc.)

I agree. $11 is not a big difference for majority of people so it's better to have it and rarely use rather than "I wish I paid $11 for troubleshooting".

Apparently, user benchmark website is a fanboy website that always shows AMD in unfavorable comparisons so I would be cautious about using them as a source of information.

That said, the gap may not be as big, but the 12700k is still faster than the 5700x. The 5700x from my understanding tends to compete with the i5 series, and it's kind of EOL CPU with new generation and socket out from AMD. Might be good performance vs bucks, but I'm not on top of these constant CPU model releases.

The kf makes more sense since %99.9 people getting these intel cpu will have a dedicated gpu.

A fair assessment. I would also pay the extra cash to have the inboard graphics. I just happened to see that the KF was also on sale, so I wanted to let folks know here as opposed to creating a whole new thread.
