Or just buy i7 11700 (non-K).

Increase PL1 in Bios -->

same Speed, 40,- cheaper and, if needed, with box-cooler (with copper-core).

Graphics



Card
Ok, one reason, if you don't need a graphics card and an IGP is fine, then an 11700k would make more sense. If you don't have any graphics card and you need one for a new system, there's no point in buying anything at all right now. Wait until you get your graphics card, because there's no knowing how long that could take, and then buy the rest of the components. Prices are more likely to go down now than up, so you'll save money waiting. Depending on how long it takes to get your graphics, it may make more sense to wait a bit longer for Alder Lake or Zen 4.

A few days back I saw the 11700K was around 360 from Amazon, but then again with this CPU's low overclocking I guess that an cheaper i7 11700 non-K is better, just raise the power limit.

Mostly same performance with 5800X (okay maybe less), you can save on the motherboard, CPU, and cooling.
