The product name of the bundle shows 7600x but if you scroll down it shows the 7600x3d is what is in the bundle not the 7600x. Also makes sense since Micro Center has a 7600x3d bundle with a asus b650e for the same price.
7600x3d cheap is exclusively designed for Microcenter. It is 6 core. I have this on my alt system and built it before RAM prices increased (it came with MB+CPU+RAM) for like $399.

The toughest situation about buying these parts right now is not being able to test out if any of these parts have issues before the return window is up. If you know someone that can lend you a RAM stick to test for problems, that's got to be a prerequisite.
So what is currently the best play to get ram? Second hand market? I need to get a new rig and it seems to have been the worst time for it
Second Hand Market if you live in a populated region or are willing to drive to a more populated region (and occasionally drive out to the middle of nowhere too) - I have noticed that sellers in urban areas have more competition so their prices tend to be lower and they usally sell fast if priced below market value.
Sometimes you get lower price from someone in the rural areas because they are desparate to move the item and know there are fewer locals to sell to and fewer people are willing to make a long drive.
I also take a browse through these listings and will quietly shoot a trade opportunity with an equivalent value item or items sometimes.

If the 7600x3d hits $150 I'll probably road trip down to Miami, it'll be like $20 worth of gas and terrifying. 😂
