Micro Center has Intel Core i9-12900K + Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Elite AX DDR5 + 32GB G.Skill Ripjaws S5 DDR5-6000 Build Bundle on sale for $399.99. Select free store pickup where available, otherwise you may visit your local store to purchase.
Thanks to Community Member yokeholy for sharing this deal.
Note: Pricing and availability may vary by location.
Per forum thread discussion you may be able to visit your local store and bundle these items for a lower price, however this will vary from store to store.
Maybe not worth the new thread, but as I and others have been pointing out, the bundle prices online don't always match what the bundles are ringing up for in store. If you're near a micro center, it's worth going in and working with a sales associate to bundle it, it may be cheaper. They'll print out a price sheet when they put in the order, and it'll show the price before you get to the register.
I also pointed out in a different thread but it's worth repeating. When I went in to bundle with the 7950X3D, I didn't reserve it online. The sales associate said the RAM was out of stock and offered to check with his manager about offering a different set in its place. Even if it shows out of stock, they might be willing to work with you to make a sale. It might not be as good, it could potentially be better. They also eventually found the bundled RAM in the back; I think there were a handful of reservations placed that were never picked up, so the website may say out of stock but the store might still have it. You won't know if you don't try, which I highly recommend if you're even on the fence.
These bundles have also changed about once every two months or so between prices and components for the few months. If you aren't sold yet, it could change next month.
Lastly, I was able to get the $25 new customer discount. It required the cashier to individually price and scan items based on the sale price without scanning it as a bundle. UFD Tech on YouTube has a video up sponsored by Micro Center which specifically calls out these bundles and that the discount applies. https://youtu.be/wO4QiOrk81o @3:29. It could be worth referencing if they say it's not meant to work that way. YMMV.
I bought it in store and the cashier rang up each item one by one and the total was $649+. Then the cashier did some keystrokes to make it the $400 bundle. No discounts applied up to that point.
Had to use the new customer $25 off discount and had to get a manager to do it manually. Scanning the coupon was not enough. The manager did it quickly since they were very busy.
$403.99 after $25 coupon OTD. Was in the Tustin, CA location.
Oh that's a great combo. Add a 7900XT for around 700 and a decent monitor for 300 and you've got a stonking setup

So are you saying it might be cheaper than online bundle price if I go in store?

Yes, multiple people including myself have had various bundles ring up for cheaper in store, but it's not guaranteed. Unfortunately there's no way of checking without going in and having a sales associate bundle it for you.
Honestly I'm building a pc for my nephew and while checking the baseline speed of the 12700 and 12900, if you are not intending to over cloak, overall performance and cooling the 12700 I believe it's better deal and it's 50 cheaper.
Regarding the other comment about the pricing. I ended up buying the lower 350 for the mobo, ddr4 and cpu and it came up 329. Cheaper.

Are there any air coolers that can handle it or do I have to go the liquid cooler aio route?

It was $5 cheaper in store and based on the specs, it appears to clearly handle the CPU wattage.

As long as youre not over clocking , have a decent case, and keep your house at or below 72 you'll be fine

Yep, should be fine as long as your case has good airflow.

CPU ran 127, mobo 149 and memory 38 bucks.
