7600 also has an iGPU and runs on half as much power
4x4 5000 has been supplanted by 4x4 7000 dram'less
so we should see a lot of sales and bundles with 5000's.
OP is a good deal, but for some of us,
there may be better ways to spend money.
7000 series cpu (amd has 8000 and 9000 series cpu that may work on the same mobo) works best with 4x4 ssd (current gen), 3x4 (previous gen) would add unnatural timing delays while 5x4 (next gen) on mobos that support these are still relatively new so early models are not worth the premium for maybe the next year or two. #1x#2 means #1 is a speed multiple (each number increment doubles the speed of it's predecessor) while #2 is the number of data channels that ssd can work simultaneously between the cpu:ram.
4x4 5000 where 5000 is the avg ideal read speed, this does not mean it will test that fast, in order to better compete with those early model 5x4 >10,000 speed ssd (remember that +1 between 4 and 5 means to double the speed) the industry came out with 4x4 7000 speed which uses the full potential of a 4x4 bus. the added risk of 5x4 right now is they may require a new revision (hardware replacement) of the physical mobo itself to fully work, so again early adopters are taking a risk now with them.
everything i write pertains to 1tb-4tb capacity ssd, so do not bother with anything smaller when it comes to buying a 4x4 M.2 also newer model ssd probably use higher chip densities which will also run cooler, so pay attention to how long that pick has been in the market, so if it's over 2 years i would look for something else. this may be why you'll often hear 2 or 4tb drives are faster than 1, however if you can find a 1gb using the same high density chips (based on the that read speed) as the 4's then you are golden.
btw, be careful following a lot of youtuber who talk about ssd choices as many of them profit off referral links so their advice may be influenced, so watch them to learn about the issues, then make your own cost benefit analysis between various models before buying. the good news is 4x4 M.2 are so crazy fast (3.5 hdd 100, 2.5 ssd 500, now we're in the high thousands), that most won't even noticed the speed differences unless you are doing heavy i/o tasks with huge files or hundreds of small files which most home users do not, so the typical gamer, browser, streamer and microsoft office user won't notice any m.2 difference.
tech geeks reading this; i am intentionally rounding to avg numbers for clarity sake

You are going to melt that persons brain. 🤣
Small summary:
There is a newer version of 4x4 NVME sticks that are potentially faster (5000 MB/s vs 7000 MB/s)
So, expect some good deals on the 5000 MB/s versions
