Lowest of the low. These boards blow up easily, and the deal gets even worse if you add replacement cost and labor

But getting a boot drive, 32gb of ram, a mobo and a modern cpu for 350 brand new is a great bundle if you are looking for a low budget new build. When every dollar counts arguing it's just x dollars more isn't always feasible. Just manage your expectations and if you do this seems like a great deal. Just install everything and boot it within the return period in case of a DOA.
How does a lower vs higher end gpu affect anything related to the motherboard? I thought a pcie slot can only deliver 75W max and the rest of the power feeds directly into the gpu from the PSU via 6-pin/8-pin/12VHPR bypassing the motherboard, no? I was planning to use this bundle with a 9070xt to drive my 4k display. Do you think I should step down to like a 7800xt so that I can grab a better motherboard and cpu?
I'm pretty sure under 1% of users would notice a benefit from more than 6 cores. I'm a lot more of a power user than most, but the fact is that almost nothing is limited by my Ryzen 5 3600X CPU that I'm running right now.
But I grew up in the 90s playing 2D games at 30 fps. I've been happy with pretty much any desktop computer since SSDs became mainstream about 12 years ago.

Also you are correct on the PCIE slot providing 75W power with the rest coming from the power supply.
