5900xt review (unfortunately mainly focused on amd's bs marketing claims about gaming): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11FWyDi

The motherboard included in this combo is decent lower-midrange overall, and should make an acceptable pairing with this cpu. It has a 10(60a)+2+1 vrm that can handle the 5900xt without issue even when overclocked. The primary downsides of this board are a lack of onboard wifi (2.5gb and 1gb dual lan is present), having only two m.2 slots where only the primary m.2 slot is gen 4 (the second m.2 slot is gen 3), and having a rather poor old realtek audio solution. If you need wifi, decent wifi adapters can be found between $10-$30 depending on desired generation. As an am4 platform motherboard, only ddr4 memory can be used. Decent quality 32gb (2x16) ddr4 3600 cl18 can be found for ~$50-$60 on sale while 64gb kits tend to be around ~$100 on sale, though of course if you already have ddr4 from a previous computer you're upgrading/replacing you can use that.
Overall, this combo is an exceptionally good value for those who would benefit from extremely good multithreaded performance on a budget.
However if you're planning to use the PC as long as your 6700k, it could be worth to invest in a AM5 PC instead of a AM4 bundle likes this one.

Don't forget Amex 2% Newegg offer!
After seeing the 5700X3D and all of these newly released XT CPUs,
I think AMD is reducing CPU speed by 100MHz~400MHz and then give it a new name and then dumping all of its less-good AM4 CPUs on the market.
It makes sense to make this move, considering all the money AMD paid to TSMC. AMD might just get a bit money back by selling these AM4 CPUs.
If you have tons of DDR4 RAM already and need a 16 cores 32 threads CPU to do your work and doesn't really want to move to DDR5 only Ryzen 7000 and 9000 CPUs, this deal is the best so far.
