Found it is slightly faster than the 7700x in the$400 bundle. The gaps between i7&i9 and r7&r9 are minimal if not all the cores are used?

Does MicroCenter ever have any combo deals that will ship? Almost everything I've seen is pickup online.
Gonna go with a no. You are likely to buy more things if you go in the store and/or the employees have the opportunity to upsell you.

Noticed this yesterday when I was checking prices for my trip there next week. Still planning to go with the 7700X bundle myself. That said, this will be nice alternative to the 7900X bundle that I may end up with if my Dad decides he's going with me.

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.

CPU ran 127, mobo 149 and memory 38 bucks.
Which 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.
YMMV.

I would say YMMV in bold. We tried it and sales guy just straight up shot us down. This was in NJ.

.

I just bought this on monday and put it together yesterday.
so far so good, smoking fast however im running it without an external graph card.
as far as i can see there are no PS/2 slots and no spdif out. i only use Opticle so its fine for me. If you get it before sure to upgrade the BIOS be anything else, freaking gigabyte can be flaky.
