Here is the combo for $300. The OP is saying buy 2x $100 gift card and save $20. I assume you need to buy that first to apply to the combo. It is definitely convoluted.

Overall the deal seems okay. Microcenter was having this CPU for $180, getting RAM and mobo for $120~ more isn't too unreasonable. But not seeing the major sales on AM4 that I'd like here just yet and I'm looking around for a solid build that can do it all on a budget (see: don't want to jump to AM5).
For almost everything else, yes.
In terms of future proofing, the 7600x will be better but that depends on whether that motherboard and RAM will be relevant in 6 years. If it's anything like AM4 was, those might be technically usable but if you want actual usage on end of life AM5 chips, you'd need to upgrade everything anyway. If that doesn't matter as much to you and you're fine with certain improvements down the road that your machine can do then go for it.

The AiO I have constantly ramps up with this 11900k and driving me nuts with the noise.

Well if you go on YouTube and look up gaming benchmarks of the 5700X3D. The fact that it's almost always on the upper half of the high end CPUs on the market and in some games it beats the Intel i9 14900k and you can get a CPU that does that for about 200$ is pretty amazing. Normally your spending 350-400 or more on a cpu alone to get that kinda gaming performance.
You could sell your existing system and probably pay for this upgrade for free basically and see a pretty strong increase in performance. I have this cpu. It's crazy impressive.
The motherboard is just straight up better and worth a premium, but no wifi.
The 5700x3D is the second best gaming chip the AM4 will ever have and the 5800x3D is barely faster.
