I saw this combo yesterday and considered posting it, but then I took a closer look at the included motherboard and decided against recommending it. The included motherboard is trash tier. It has a 5+2+2 vrm that'll thermal throttle under sustained multicore loads. It can probably handle the 7600x for general use and gaming, but you won't be able to upgrade to a better cpu in the future. Additionally, it's rated 2.5 eggs (stars) on newegg, with 50% 1 egg (star) reviews. Youtube review including the non-plus version (with the same vrm configuration): https://youtu.be/naX-DnKekCM?t=536

The included ram is intel xmp rather than expo (though this isn't a big deal, it's still compatible, you just might have to manually input some timings) ddr5 6000 cl36 using samsung memory chips, so it has significantly worse overclocking/tuning potential compared to hynix kits.
If you're certain you'll never upgrade from the 7600x, and will actually make use of the slow gen4 (at gen 3 speeds) ssd, this is a decent deal, but there are definitely better options. If you're looking for a bundle in a relatively similar performance tier I'd recommend grabbing the $128 r7 5800x + 32gb ddr4 deal for $128 and separately purchasing a ~$80 b550 motherboard: https://slickdeals.net/f/17809608-amd-ryzen-7-5800x-am4-desktop-processor-cpu-32gb-ddr4-3200-corsair-vengeance-memory-128-00
The 5800x is currently backordered, but you can still add it to cart along with the free 32gb kit of ram.
It'll be a fair bit bit slower than this 7600x bundle in gaming, but it's far cheaper.
Also, if you live within range of a microcenter, just get the $350 7700x bundle: https://slickdeals.net/f/17803665-micro-center-bundle-amd-ryzen-7-7700x-cpu-gigabyte-b650-gaming-x-ax-v2-mb-g-skill-flare-x5-series-32gb-ddr5-6000-ram-350-free-store-pickup
