I just built a new pc for a coworker with this exact kit. It worked excellent right out of the box. Can recommend!

At this point, I think I'm going to have to take up a collection to get them to open a store in eastern NC.
Is the one soon opening in Charlotte too far away?

I'd buy this instantly if they'd just ship it 😭
They need to build more stores or let you pay for shipping! My nearest Microcenter is a 6 hour drive away. There aren't many around. I want to give them money, but they won't let me!

It can become a lot more than entry level, but yes if you toss a $100-200 card in it you'll have an entry level gaming PC. I put a refurb 2080 Ti in mine for about $330 from Zotac.

They're not stopping you from driving 6 hours!

Been running this same setup for 6 months now and it has been flawless, to be honest it was one of the easiest builds I've ever made going all the way back to 486 days. In under an hour I ripped out the old system that was sitting in a closet and had this booting up first time. I read people said the ram wasn't the best, but since first boot, I've been running full speeds without issue. BIOS was updated already as well.

The only thing to consider is cooling, it runs HOT. I started off with an EVGA CLC 280, and even with doing some PBO tuning (undervolting) it was running pretty hot. I ended up upgrading to an Arctic Freezer II 360 and things are quiet and much cooler now, I think I max while gaming around 58c compared to 90s before.

While I will probably upgrade to one of the x3d chips someday just because I can, I'm very happy with how stable and cost effective this upgrade was.

I got this exact same kit about 2 months ago. The boot times are a little bit longer than usual when you first set it up, but after an update to the BIOS that seems to go away. Highly recommend the thermalright phantom Spirit for a cooler. Probably the most stable temperatures I've had on a CPU since I've gotten into building computers. From what I've read, the CPU can handle any GPU on the market with little to no bottlenecking.

Ordered an AM4 combo for my daughter to pick up for me on her drive home from school later this week - got scared off of AM5 setups by comments in buildapc - am I being overly cautious? 5800x3d, 32gb ram .... not much cheaper than this
I was set on building with a 5800x3d until I discovered that building with a 7700x would be under $100 more and have a future upgrade path. The used market for 5800x3d is so high and buying the bundle from MC is a $45 difference for a gen higher and twice the ram. (I needed an itx so I paid more since I couldn't use the motherboard)

I was skeptical of all the comments too, but I had zero issues and it was easier than when i built an am4 a couple years ago.

Also, did they drop the price more? I'm seeing $341, i paid $365 a week ago.

Went and got this yesterday, to put into an NZXT h9. Now I'm debating on what cpu cooler to get.
snag a Thermalright Peerless Assassin, nothing comes close in terms of pure value to performance. Can look at Gamer's Nexus charts either online or in their own video reviews if you need some details. Great thing about the 7700x is it's incredibly tunable through Ryzen Master, AMD makes it incredibly user friendly. Absolutely worst case you can reduce the power draw a bit and lose ~3 to 5% performance for absolutely perfect thermals, but my guess is the Peerless Assassin will likely make that a non-issue even at stock settings.

AM5 platform is safe. Just update Mobo BIOS and stay away from EXPO if you want stability.

There is no benefit to them shipping these loss leader deals. They want people to come into the store and then end up buying more stuff.

It says $341 if you use the MicroCenter credit card.
