IS THIS RIGHT?

Hello, I was talking to a mate today and he was helping friend out with parts list, i originally had told this friend to get the 5600x because its a good gaming CPU and that's all they'd be doing anyways, but my mate told her to get the i5 9600k instead because it is cheaper and it had inbuilt graphics so when surfing the web or watching videos it wouldn't waste power and use the graphics card and instead would use the inbuilt graphics. so I went along with it and just said yeah ok but I'm not sure if the 9600k is a better option also considering its an older CPU, pretty sure it came out late 2018 whilst the 5600x came out late 2020. I'm not sure, id like to think I am right but id like to get some feedback and see what you guys think. which one is actually better and why?

and also I made the argument that the friend would also have to get an older mobo and the older mobo may lack some new features, but I'm not sure, would it?

They won't save power, internal graphics will just get disabled when a GPU is present. You can force it on but then both will operate and draw power, it's not like a laptop where the discrete GPU can be completely powered off, on desktop it always runs if it's there.

so when on YouTube or something will inbuilt graphics get used or is it either one or the other. Also which is the better cpu do you think

By default it'll all run on the GPU. And you'd have to swap the monitor cable between mobo and GPU when you want to use the other for it to make any sense, but it still doesn't since watching youtube is so easy on a GPU it won't be drawing anything more than idle anyway.
