This just went from an OK deal to a great deal. Gigabyte and ASRock are the most reliable boards for AM5 sockets. The old MSI boards from the previous incarnation of the bundle had a lot of issues with RAM compatibility and boot times. It went from a cautious recommendation to a no-brainer.

Trust me, they know very well which day and age it is. It's not like they like to leave money on the table. That's simply their business model and a strategic decision; not one that is borne out of lack of business acumen.

Having an online eCommerce presence and maintaining those logistics is not cheap. If they have to serve nationwide customers, they'll need to keep a lot more inventory on hand, which will drive up costs. And they cannot afford to compete with larger retailers that enjoy cheaper shipping because of their volumes. Better to have a smaller local presence that's profitable than expand beyond their means.

This business model doesn't work for every retailer, but Microcenter is hardly the only big retailer that doesn't offer eCommerce based on an intentional business strategy -- Primark, Dollar General, Ross Stores are some that come to mind. You will note that all of these businesses sell a lot of low margin products. That's the same for microcenter. CPUs and GPUs are headline products but most computer hardware is low margin. Relatively speaking, not many people are into building their own PCs. That's why Microcenter prefers to have a smaller footprint, and maintain local presence in high population centers only. And by all accounts, it's a successful business model, as I remember reading that they are doing very well. They've said they intend to expand, but will do so very slowly. I would rather have a company that takes well considered decisions and expands slowly, than do it too soon and then lay off thousands of employees because of their lack of foresight.

Best deal I've seen so far.
Currently you can get the same build from
NewEgg for CPU $400 + Board $180 + RAM $98 = $678, and
Amazon for CPU $383 + Board $180 + RAM $105 = $668.

Looks like I'll wait for MicroCenter to open in Charlotte, soon...

Anyone able to get this to work? I got it into my cart and the price went up to $680 as if the price didn't work. It showed $500 on the page and now I can't get it into my cart.

I got the msi and I can confirm the boot time issue. Every boot is like a first boot. That being said, the gigabyte has a lower msrp on MC website. Dunno if it's better but too late for me either way.

I can't even add to cart for later pick-up. Shows nothing in cart. The other bundles do add to cart ok.

EDIT> Working now. Does show as $499.99.

Quote from Caravaner :
Can you just use it like this? No case or anything?
Theoretically yes, practically no. Your system will shut down almost immediately due to thermals without a CPU cooler. You'll also need SSD/HDD, graphics card (unless you just want to stare at the desktop), and OS software with peripherals to load it. Once you have those, it is very ill-advised to not put them in a case given that dust, hair, and the errant sneeze or spill will destroy your now $1000+ investment.

I should have meant, I wanted to reserve it and get some time to think it over before it was sold out. I did this over Black Friday to reserve things. Looks like they aren't allowing people to do that anymore.

the website has not updated store prices yet and carts are store specific because this is pick up in store only. I am sure when you go to the store they will honor the deal (assuming the parts are in stock).

edit: works for me now.

Combine this with the other offer they have on the Rx 6950 XT for $550 and you'll have a monster build for around $1300 if you add the cost of the psu, cooling and case

I couldn't add the bundle to the cart. Then I added each item individually, and it popped up at the $500 price.
