There is also a deal for 5900XT if you prefer the build to age even better, but it is ~370, meaning paying $130 for 8 extra cores.
I am still using a 3rd gen i7, and I can tell you that the number of cores ages very well - you can just upgrade the GPU.

Not a bad option if you want to focus on a graphics card with your budget instead of raw CPU power (games vs work or LLM's)
Something to consider. Can always bring everything besides the mb/cpu/ram over to a new build.

This deal from Newegg is more universally available and comes along with a fairly powerhouse CPU. In fact, if you dig around you can get a lower spec bundle with a Ryzen 5 5600GT for $190 which is directly competitive with Micro Center pricing.
I'll still be waiting for another good end of year bundle from Micro Center, but otherwise this deal is a reasonable way to get yourself eligible for an automatic upgrade to Windows 11 for an older system.
Good luck!

Granted I'm probably generalizing way too much over my bad experience with an ASRock MB that didn't support my CPU right out of the box .. no BIOS flash button so had to send it back and opted for a MB with bios flash which led me upgrade to the latest stable BIOS without having to assemble the entire PC.. could be wrong but I don't think this MS supports bios flashback?
Looking at the newegg listings I see that the CPU is listed as first being available July 2024

and the motherboard is listed as being first available February 2023
https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-b...6813145434
I could be totally wrong here
Additionally, 5800XT is an overclocked version of 5800X, which was released in 2020. I'd be very shocked if the CPU+MB combo doesn't work out of the box.
FYI, I bought ASUS PRO B550M-C/CSM with 5900XT. This MB was released in December 31, 2020. I will update here and let everyone know if they work out of the box in a few more days.
Here is the deal I bought if anyone is interested:

Edit: my combo works out of the box.
no bueno! I honestly don't know what gigabyte was thinking here, back when the 5800xt came out everyone would have said this isn't adequate and you'll want a good cooler to make up for it's performance
go with the intel instead for $29 more!

On top of that that was previously a $250 combo with a i7, so no one in the right mind should get that complete trash deal.
