How well will it work with COD mw2? Have 6750x graphics
Easy answer: sure will.
Better answer: "work" is a very subjective term. Some people say 30fps "works". Others want 300+fps.
Your best bet is to go over to you tube and look for some benchmarks. There you can likely find the 5700x at various graphics settings for your favorite game(s).
Your graphics card is plenty capable of handing nearly anything you want. The 5700x should not serve as a bottle neck either.
Any deals on just the CPU? I bought a Gigabyte X570S MB last year and am quite happy with it (other than the audio which despite what they claim is not electrically isolated from the rest of the circuitry and has noise that's clearly related to what's going on given that it tracks with whatever the PC is doing).
12700k eats the 5700x for breakfast, plus the Mobo is much nicer. Personally, this deal plus the 32G ram deal plus sell the old 16GB.
Well that may be true but it's also more expensive and you would need an RTX 3090 or better to even remotely come close to utilizing that cpu. So the 5700x is plenty for most GPUs

Not really. That deal is $349, the ram kit is worth at least $35 so it's pretty much the same money for a better mobo and a faster CPU. You definitely can max a 3080 or less at some resolutions/refresh rates and for non-gaming use/emulation you can definitely see the difference.

Well, thanks for your feedback,
Regarding the RAM, maybe just to buy additional 16G same model to have 32G total? It's additional $35 (open box at microcenter).

Total $331.99 only saving $17 in this bundle but cheaper B550 motherboards for around $100 would make it under $300 if bought separate.
