The motherboard's worth ~$180, and the ram's worth ~$70. Even if you're upgrading and already have both a motherboard and ram, you'd probably literally save money buying the bundle and selling the mobo and ram on ebay rather than buying the 9950x alone.
Additionally, assuming you're already on the am5 platform, I generally wouldn't recommend upgrading to zen 5 if you're already on zen 4. The only meaningful reasons to upgrade from zen 4 to zen 5 are if you're: a. upgrading from non-x3d to x3d; b. suddenly require far more cores than your current cpu has for newfound productivity workloads; or c. have extremely heavy avx512 productivity workloads, particularly on linux.

I've had a 7900x3d and a 7950x for a year...what instability issues are you referring to?

Weird how people just glossed over Intel having core scheduling issues in both 13/14th Gen. People really love to hate on AMD for no reason other than someone told them too.
