This is the best deal I've seen for a 7800x3d bundle available for shipping (aka. not from microcenter) by a decent margin.

The 7800x3d is the best gaming cpu currently available, it's on average slightly faster than the 14900k in gaming while using on average 130w less power (total system usage) while gaming. The 7800x3d is an 8 core cpu which is sufficient for gaming for the next several years at least. The 7800x3d is not well suited as a productivity cpu, it's essentially a slower clocked and more efficient 7700x when used in most non-gaming tasks. The 7800x3d goes on sale as low as $340 from online retailers and as low as $300 from microcenter.

The msi pro b650-s motherboard seems to be a slightly cut down version of the msi pro b650-p motherboard which was available in microcenter's old version of their $500 7800x3d bundle. It's overall a lower-midrange b650 board with some of the standard compromises (no pcie gen5, only two m.2 slots, cheap realtek audio chip, less heatsink coverage, etc.) but should be sufficient for the average user. Pcie gen5 support won't matter for most users a few years at least. There have been complaints about slow boot times on msi b650 boards, supposedly newer bios updates have mitigated those issues to an extent, and memory context restore can be enabled without issue to drastically reduce boot times. A major advantage of building on the am5 platform is longevity, you'll be able to at minimum upgrade to a zen5 (and most likely zen6 as well) cpu while using the same motherboard and ram. The motherboard specs page can be found here: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/P...cification

The ram in this bundle is something of a disappointment, being the standard cheap 32gb ddr5 6000 cl36 g.skill flare ram that most bundles (including microcenter's) contain. This ram uses samsung memory chips, which are all around worse than the hynix memory chips used in higher end memory, but are better than the micron chips used in very low end ddr5. Ram with samsung memory chips used to have major compatibility issues with the am5 platform, but bios updates have pretty much solved those issues by this point. The biggest current downside to using ram with samsung memory chips is the vastly inferior overclocking/manual tuning potential compared to hynix memory. If you'd just be sticking with base expo settings, then the performance difference with this ram compared to the recommended ddr5 6000 cl30 will be only a few percent on average in gaming at 1080p with a 4090. The reduced incidence of cache misses due to the massively increased L3 cache also play a role in reducing the impact. That being said, if you're willing to manually set timings, properly tuned hyinx ram would have a much larger performance delta compared to what you could achieve manually tuning the ram in this bundle.

Overall, if you don't live within driving distance of a microcenter and are looking to build an upper-midrange pc primarily for gaming, this is a good deal.
Holy shit, this is a ton of good information. How do you procure so much knowledge about each individual part?

This is a great deal for gamers and non heavy production work too. 5800x3d easily trades blows with the most recent Intel processors and non 3d amd processors when it comes to gaming.

Add another 1000 for a gpu and another few hundred for a decent nvme, psu and case, and you get a killer gaming rig. I am running 7900xtx with this cpu and eats every game I've thrown at it for brekfast... can't be happier. I paid a bit more for mine last year, glad to see the prices are going down

The 7800x3d is the best gaming cpu currently available if you are running Win 11 with the Windows Game Bar active. These are required for the features that make it the fastest to be active.

You're thinking of the 7900x3d and 7950x3d. Those cpus have two ccds, one of which has 3d vcache and one of which does not. In order to remove the gaming impact of inter-ccd latency, the ccd without 3d vcache is "parked" (essentially temporarily disabled) while gaming. In order to know when to park the ccd there's an amd chipset driver which interfaces with the microsoft game bar.

The 7800x3d only has a single ccd, so it doesn't require said chipset driver. It can be without any performance impact on older operating systems such as windows 10, and the microsoft game bar is entirely unnecessary.

I have a ryzen 7 5800x3d with my 3070 playing mostly league of legends, apex, overwatch.

Is it worth upgrading for future proofing? Or should i wait for it to go lowerr since i dont play AAA Titles?

This deal is as good as the microcenter one. The same price, MC has a Gigabyte B650 motherboard.

https://www.microcenter.com/searc...y=pricelow

There was a MSI AM5 motherboard slow boot issue last year(2023).
I didn't keep track of it.
Does anyone know if MSI fixed it? or what was the reason for the super slow boot?
