Bundle alternative to the bare processor deal, $90 for a motherboard and 16 GB of RAM

Good if you want a very cheap bare bones system. The 7700X deal posted last week is a better value if you can swing the extra $80 for double the RAM and a better processor if you can accept an ATX board.

Micro Center does sell an extra stick for 50 bucks. Still not a bad deal if you ask me.

Yep, you'll be at $320 at that point. Not a bad deal for sure, but that's only $80 away from their current 7600X3D bundle with a nicer TUF motherboard and 32GB RAM. If I were in the market, I'd definitely get that to finally have an X3D CPU so I could see what all the fuss is about. Big Grin

I got a nice Intel 12700K combo from Micro Center for $350, and it will last me for years.

i'm most likely going to snag that 7600X3D bundle in a couple of weeks, hoping it'll still be there when I get back from out of town.

really depends if you're cpu locked. went from a 3700x to a 5800xt and saw better lows but FPS highs were about the same on a 3080. With a 5800x3d, there was about a 30% increase overall in FPS, lows and highs. Mid settings on Warzone which more CPU heavy.

It's a little more nuanced than that, when talking about x3d chips. Some games benefit tremendously from that extra cache, while others simply don't. There are examples of people gaming at 1440p or higher and still seeing big bumps in certain games by upgrading to newer x3d chips. I think Warzone is an example of a game that benefits quite a bit. Same with most esports titles and competitive shooters.

This is a good deal.

Jump? Depends on what you're doing, of course. The chip I have is a 6 core 7600x. The 9600x is a iterative improvement over the 7600x. We're talking in the neighborhood of 10%. The 7600x is roughly as good as the 5700x/5800x line which had 8 cores. Similar in multitasking and similar in gaming. The 5600G (6 cores) has a better (though older*) graphics core than the 9600x, but it trades away max CPU speed and some other features compared to the 5700x/5800x to fit that improved graphics core. So the 5600g is noticeably worse when paired with a GPU for gaming than the 7600x and significantly worse in multithreading. (when gaming, I am assuming you're pairing it with a graphics card able to keep up with the new CPU. An NVIDIA 1060 isn't doing that)



So, the 9600x is certainly better/faster, but it's a whole new system and that single RAM stick really wants a twin. If you are mostly gaming and your motherboard supports it, consider a 5x00 3dx chip. It would be a significant improvement for gaming if you're ever CPU bound. If you really want better multitasking and general computing power, if your MB supports it, consider a AMD Ryzen 9 5800XT/5900XT? Just note that if you don't have a stand alone GPU, you need one with that chip. If you want just a new system that will be better/snappier in all spects, the 9600x deal here is a good value.

* while the 5600G has a better iGPU for things like light gaming.it is older and doesn't support the newest video codecs for media playback. This is mostly a concern for nerds and if you plan on keeping the 5600G for another 5 years or so as streaming platforms move towards AV1 and away from less efficient codecs like H.264.

A salesperson said that if I wanted to run two monitors, l would have to get a video card. Is that true? I'm not talking about gaming, just standard display.

The CPU supports multiple monitors, but the motherboard is the limitation. That included motherboard has one DisplayPort out and one VGA. So you'd be using VGA for the second. Not ideal, if your monitor even supports it. The money you'd spend on adapters, would be better spent on either a cheap GPU that supports multiple outputs or maybe opting for the upgraded motherboard, if that model offers multiple digital outputs (DisplayPort, HDMI, etc...). It's not common for budget motherboards to support multiple video outputs on integrated GPU's though.
