I've been pretty much refreshing the Microcenter bundle page daily to check on prices and it looks like this morning they dropped their prices. The 7600X and 7600X3D bundle used to be $399, they are now $299.59 and $345.13 respectively. The 7700X bundle went from $499.99 to $444.29.
The only unfortunate part is I can't seem to "build" with the bundles anymore so I couldn't upgrade from 16gb to 32gb of memory at a discount.

Micro Center's AMD CPU, motherboard, and RAM bundles were a strong way to pair Ryzen chips with AM5 boards and 32GB DDR5, especially the 7800X3D bundle with a B650E motherboard. The X3D parts are the better gaming choice, while the non X chips make more sense for productivity and creation. The main catch is that bundle pricing now only works through the add bundle to cart button, not by adding items individually, which removed some RAM combinations. The prices were later reverted, so the deal appears to be over.

However, the much better move now is the base 7800x3d bundle. At my MC it is $532.65 and comes with an excellent B-650E motherboard and 32gb of RAM.
In the past month or two, lots of folks would have just bought the 7600x3d bundle with a worse motherboard and 32gb of RAM for anywhere between $470-$500.
Paying an extra $30-$60 for a better motherboard and better processor with the current 7800x3d deal is very slick, given current prices.
Edit: I played around on the MC website and found something interesting. It used to be the case that you could get bundle pricing by either using the add bundle to cart feature OR by adding each individual item in the bundle to your cart. The same price would be reflected no matter which of those you did. NOW, adding each item to your cart does not reflect the bundle pricing available on the bundles pages. The only way to get bundle pricing is to use the add bundle to cart button. This doesn't seem like such a big deal, but it did enable you to get the 7600x3d with 32gb of RAM, whereas now you cannot do that anymore.
How about this bundle for $582.85 with better CPU and M/B?
-- AMD Ryzen 9 9900X,
-- MSI X870E-P Pro WiFi DDR5,
-- G.Skill Flare X5 Series 32GB DDR5-6000 Kit,
Ryzen 9 9900X performs better than Ryzen 7 9850X3D in general.
