Newegg has this combo deal which is a bit complicated but if the Uber Eats and Steam credits are useful to you then this could be great.
MSI MAG X870 TOMAHAWK [newegg.com] $299
CORSAIR Vengeance RGB 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000 (PC5 48000) Desktop Memory Model CMH32GX5M2B6000C28 [newegg.com] $134.99
Add both it will give you combo discounts (-$47.00)
Additional discounts via promo codes BFVDY2A22 and BFEDY2A66 (-$20 x 2 = -$40)
Automatically adds Uber Eats $50 Gift card (email delivery)
Subtotal = $347.98
$50 Steam credits via 2 links:
MSI Ultra Connect to New Era [msi.com] $30 Steam code
MSI Shout Out (need to share feedback) [msi.com] $20 Steam code
Mail-in Rebate Form [newegg.com] $10 Mail-in rebate + additional $30 for writing a review
If you think of the $50 Uber Eats Gift cards, $50 Steam credit, and $40 in mail-in rebates as good as cash, then essentially this deal comes out to:
$347.98 - $50 UE - $50 Steam - $40 MIR = Effectively $207.98 + tax
Obviously there's quite a few hoops to jump through to get all this, and you have to value Uber Eats and Steam, but if you do this is probably the best deal for an X870 + 32GB RAM right now.

Craziest thing about this is the mail in rebate, I thought all rebates were digital now.
Definitely debating this as im shopping for a new 9800x3d build.

"AMD® EXPO and Intel XMP 3.0 Compatibility: Compatible with AMD® EXPO and Intel XMP 3.0 for higher frequencies and exceptional overclocking performance."
How do they work? Do you just apply them to your account and you have the credit in your account?
Do they expire?
Actually pulled the trigger. Sounds like an amazing deal.
Note: The mail-in rebate must be sent in within 21 days of purchase.

XMP and EXPO are just memory presets, physically like for like it's the same hardware, there's no performance difference given the same timings. Just go with whatever aesthetic or price point, capacity you prefer and not worry about XMP or EXPO because you'll lock yourself out of the options/sales.
Thanks, I was looking for this info.

I agree with you that it likely doesn't make *that* much difference it's just if you are paying this price might as well get the certified ram.
Certified RAM on an AMD system can work, but it's not guaranteed to run at the advertised XMP speeds. XMP is essentially an Intel technology, and AMD systems might not fully support certain XMP profiles.
The Corsair Vengeance kit with Intel XMP might not work seamlessly on an AMD system. Even though it could still function at lower speeds, it might not the full 6000MHz speed and timings specified in the XMP profile.
The AMD version is almost the same price as this with discounts.

Amazon also reveals recent bad reviews:
"You will be beta testing a motherboard" 1 star
Unstable
Holy F this thing is so unstable right now I'd recommend people stay away from it for a while. I have inconsistent boots and have to frequently clear the CMOS just to get it working. They even rolled back the latest BIOS version because it was unstable. If you need to upgrade right now, stay away from this motherboard.
Another 1 star- Defective
This defective MSI motherboard drained my energy and patience as I tried to find a solution. After this exhausting experience, I've decided I'll never purchase from MSI again.
Etc.
Not crap posting because I am still considering this but just doing my own research and sharing.
