For $30 more, I'm not sure if the 9700X is worth it
FYI, I tend to keep my PC hardware as-is for a long time (hence the 8 year old CPU and GPU, lol)
I was using a 4090 with a i5-11400 (before making new build with 7950X3D) and while there was definitely a bottleneck, games were still playable and gorgeous at 4k.
At 1440p and 4K, you will always be upgrading the GPU, the 7700x will never bottleneck the game outside of Ultra-Low graphics esports games.
But you're missing out what the x3D specifically gives, higher 1% lows for FPS for all resolutions. That makes a major major difference in felt gameplay. That's why I recommend a gamer to get the x3D for that purpose.
For someone who is competitively playing esports at ultra low settings, you can argue, it MATTERS.
At 720p, the difference between the 9700x and 9800x3d, The x3d is only 16% faster. That's the difference between 300fps and 350fps. Does this matter to most people at 1440p 2160p, where the 9800x3d is only 7.5% and 2.5% faster respectively? You can cite specific cases, but you must play those games alot to justify the hype inflated prices.
When people play normal games at 1440 and 2160, a Faster GPU with a 7700/9700x will be significantly faster than splitting the price difference on the 9800x3d.
9800x3d is a fantastic cpu, but the inflated prices make it terrible in terms of price to performance ratio. If you're spending $2000, go for it. $1500, it's a difficult decision, but a 7700/9700x build with a faster GPU will outperform a 9800x3d build by 20-30% easily.
That is Not a valid argument.
At 1080p, the 9800x3d is 14% faster in 1% lows.
At 4K, it's 2% faster in 1% lows.
That is only WITH a 4090. If you have anything other than a 4090. Your 1% lows with a slower gpu + a 9800x3d will be significantly LOWER than a 7700x + Faster Gpu.
The cpu is not itself entirely responsible for 1% lows.
The difference between an $800 and $500 gpu is significantly more than 30%, in 1% lows. Upwards of 35-50% anywhere between 1080p and 4K..
I know it won't be top tier performance but for what I need it will work and it will give me a processor that I can run Win 11 on

Those sets are "value meals"?

Also, consider your logic. These are IN-STORE sales... you think MC is looking to jam themselves up with mostly LOCALS who walk in to buy this and get stiffed with 'faulty motherboards'? You think they wouldn't get buried in returns and lose repeat/future customers? That would be a VERY poor strategy. But believe what you want. It doesn't make it true. :-D
