Is this worth it?

I was searching in microcenter for bundles and came across:

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, Gigabyte B850 Gaming X WiFi6E AM5, G.Skill Flare X5 Series 32GB DDR5-6000 Kit, Computer Build Bundle

$679.99

Im planning on getting a 5070ti and i heard the 9800x is better than the 7800x for streaming.

Also should i get a cpu fan cooler or radiator?

how many fans do yall recommend?

Should i get a case with fans or without?

Is there room for upgrade? in around 3 years maybe

For streaming, you'd probably be using GPU encoding anyways. So as long as you have an amd 90 series or any of the nvidia GPUs, you should be good. Even AMD's old 7000 gpus weren't terrible, just not as good as 90 + nvidia.

pay 20 more and get the 9850x3d. Kind of a why not situation.

oh i didnt even try checking further. How much of a boost is the 9850x? either way $20 for an upgrade is not bad

Its not a huge boost, not even a substantial boost lol but its 2-5% i believe depending on the game. The benefit is its newer, its a binned overclock version of 9800x3d and you can still overclock it +200 -15 or -20 all core and it runs under 70C in games for me with a good cooler. The motherboard upgrade should be considered as well but not everyone needs the features that come with the 850E, i didnt get this motherboard so i am not sure if the vrms are better but for me the bundle difference was a x870 for $20 more was a no brainer plus the newer CPU just sets me up for long term even if it is the slightest margin. the 9800x bundle is great, but $20 you know why not

Yeah I would say this bundle is definitely one of the better ones, while I dont think u will see much of a difference from a 7800x3d to a 9800x3d u get a much better motherboard with the Gigabyte B850 GAMING X which is a solid option if u want room for upgrades later on

Good deal for sure at just 80 more than the 7800X3D bundle.
