Only 18 months ago - everyone here remembers the way it was.
It's painful to watch memory and NVMe prices go up 400%, for a community of people who tend to squabble and wait to buy so they can save 10-20%. Who in this chat isn't kicking themselves for not upgrading sooner?
I was ready to buy this along with some thermalright cooler earlier this morning.
Then decided .... I don't REALLY need this. I have a 5900x based system and another 12700k from almost 4 years ago (2022?) I'm still trying to find a use for. After a few hours, the impulse subsided and I saved nearly $800!

I remember bundles like these for older i7 used to be $300-400.

I dunno. I'm fine with my ddr4 setup for now. The wheel will turn again.

Not me I settled for 16 ddr5 for 99 and 2tb SSD for 129 before Christmas this year.

Yeah I was going to piece meal things starting last summer and then thought, let me just save up and get it all at once. Well, now I still haven't bought a thing for my next PC because of these whacky price

It's cool but I still think the 32gb am5 bundles are better value. Intel finally catching up though and there are valid reasons for this one.
And you would be wrong. AM5 bundles are a WORSE value these days.
Microcenter's $600 AM5 bundle is a 7800x3D, with slower RAM, and a worse motherboard chipset+features.
270k+ is TWICE as fast as a 7800x3D in multi-thread, +40% faster in single thread, and gaming performance is essentially equal. Yes AM5 will probably see one last gen, but most people dont upgrade CPUs often, and the performance difference today is simply too large.

Completely agree but the AMD gaming coo-lade is too strong to reason with when all the influencers compare at 1080P and 300FPS vs 270FPS.

update: I cranked this thing up to 46646 cinebench 23.
