I do have one near me and I have a bundle in it already for 550. https://www.microcenter.com/product/5007338/amd-ryzen-7-9700x,-gigabyte-b650-gaming-x-ax-v2-am5,-corsair-vengeance-rgb-32gb-ddr5-6000-kit,-computer-build-bundle I have this bundle in my cart. Just waiting till Friday

9700X is a good processor too, can't go wrong with that.
the 7800x3d is $599, definitely a nice little boost for gaming, for $50

Was originally going to use either Amazon or newegg. Till I saw it was a huge difference on microcenter

Ya it's not close. their ram/mobo/cpu bundles hundreds less than anywhere else.
Yexcor2@reddit (OP)
Maybe its because they have special contracts and deal with the companies of the parts

This is the way. Better pricing is available if you have a MicroCenter.
