I was able to find several vendors selling 5600g CPUs without a cooler on Ali for around $85. If you don't have a need for a discrete CPU, then that is a pretty good alternative.

I have an I7-6700k intel processor. How much of an upgrade would this be and will this do Win 11?

Pretty decent upgrade depending on what you're doing as per the norm. Yes, Windows 11 is no issue.

If you youtube 5600 vs 5600x vs 5700x3d it's easy to see the increase in FPS with the 3D chip is negligible. I want a CPU that increases frames as much as anyone else. But lots of reviewers will say the improvement is minimal to say the least.

About 5% fps is what I saw on game benchmarks. Not worth throwing a 100 bucks for that.
That 100 can go towards a better GPU or faster memory that a non-3D AMD chip can work better with.

Your 6700K will do Windows 11 just fine with one simple registry tweak and an update of your, I'm assuming, existing Windows 10 install.

I've run 11 on my 6700K since 11 was in beta and it's been perfectly fine… well… no problems that could be attributed to the processor used, anyway. (It's still Windows 11.)

But yes, you'd likely see massive gains in nearly everything you do.

Was debating to get the 3d board for $200 and reusing the mobo and ram. Then I saw the other 7700x bundle with mitx board for $313, I went with the later.

These chips are only worth going for if you're already on an AM4 system. There is no upgrade path.
