Get the 9700x combo for $50 more than the RAM option. Seems like the better deal, would save you in 1 year in energy costs alone

Hello- I've seen a lot
Of comments over time that microcenter deals have gone up in price and that they used to be lower even with the same components.

Is this actually a good deal this time lol

This bundle is the same price today as it was in November of 2024: AMD Ryzen 7 9700X, Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX Ice, G.Skill Flare X5 Series 32GB DDR5-6000 Kit, Computer Build Bundle $479 (the mobo upgraded bundle of the 9700X).

Seems like people here are saying that:

9700X + MB + RAM for $450 > 7700X + MB for $300.

I build a lot of computers and I do not agree. I don't think 9700X is worth $50 (accepting the $100 ram premise) more than the 7700X in performance. You can tune the 7700X to 65W if you want similar efficiency, too.
With the 7700X bundle, you've got the option to chose your own RAM. There are plenty of kits online that are around $100 that are DDR5 6000 CL28. You can buy much better RAM than the bundle includes for the same price. That said, I don't think most people will really notice the difference in latency. They might want to choose different aesthetics though.

I got the 7700x + open box B650 for $271. Is this a good deal?
