-9% SLOWER in gaming (1440p, who is buying high end CPU to play at 1080p or lower? IF you have an RTX 5090) andthe gaming gap shrinks smaller and smaller with weaker GPUs. So like a 5070 build the CPUs will perform the same at 1440p or 4k in most games.
ALSO The 270k builds comes with faster RAM 6000->6400 and a better motherboard chipset B850 (midrange) vs Z890 (premium)

$2,499 - $680 =$1,819.00. A 5080 currently goes for $1300. So $1819 - $1300 =$519.00.
The rest of the stuff adds up to about $519. Case, PSU, AIO water cooler, 2TB SSD, Win 11.
No point in wasting time building it.
Community Reviews
This bundle is a strong foundation for a gaming PC, especially when paired with a newer GPU. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is framed as a long-lasting chip, with expectations of around five to six years of useful life, and the included RAM alone is viewed as carrying a large share of the value. The deal also stands out because DDR5 prices have been unusually high lately. The main caveat is that performance depends heavily on the graphics card and resolution, and the RAM may run at 5600 on this board despite the 6000 rating.

Also I'm aware MU and stocks related are hitting new all time highs everyday didn't realize there was this much of a memory crunch for the consumer PC. I suppose it makes complete sense even though RAM is different for these AI mainframe computers, they are allocating their materials for other RAM.
There are a bunch of good benchmarks on YouTube to compare.
In short, one or two generation CPU upgrades do not double or triple frame rates like GPU upgrades. in some cases it won't improve at all because your GPU is doing most the work.
If you are using 1080p, then this new CPU would be a bigger bump maybe 10% to 20% min/avg.
If you using 4k (or plan to) then THERE MAY ONLY BE SINGLE DIGIT FPS IMPROVEMENTS.
1440P is somewhere in middle.

To me personally though this slickdeals deal seems like a great start towards being able to play modern day games on high settings (I strongly doubt you'll need more than 32 GB of ram unless you're say some youtuber livestreaming the game as you play to your audience
The GPU/video card you buy will make a huge difference .. tom's hardwaer also publishes articles that are helpful (I find them helpful anyways) on PC hardware stuff like this one

Back in the year 2018 I was lucky to snag a asus geforce 1060 6GB video card for $300 that still works great for my 1080 games but then again I have a backlist of games that were made year 2015 or so that aren't nearly as demanding as the PC games out today ... even back then I noticed you'd have to pay double that to future-proof your PC for games that would come out in the future based on my research back then.. so when I look at the tom's hardware recommendations and say " Ouch, my wallet, $600, $700, $800 for a video card" I try to remember a lot of people out there aren't as cheap as I am
In theory you could grab a $300 or $400 video card/GPU instead but from what I've been hearing (remember that I bought my GPU in 2018 so I've been doing a lot of research in case my card dies, hopefully not!) the problem is that bottlenecks you at 8 GB of VRAM on the card which is a problem far as futureproofing for games that will demand more .. from what I've been hearing online 16 GB video cards are the way to go even with the higher price.
From what I understand given some GPU's are heavy a riser device (basically just a "strut" to hold up the GPU card to prevent it's weight sagging down and destroying the socket it's implanted into on the motherboard) is a good plan too , PC cases often have an option GPU strut add-on you can buy.
Two other important things.. try to get a bigger PC case and a decent cpu cooler (not sure if you're going to go with air cooling or liquid/radiator cooling?)... overheating is one of the two bigger threats to a PC from what I understand so a bigger case that will give you good airflow is a big help.

If you don't mind the lack of RGB with the included fans the Lian Li Cool 2017 comes with a lot of preinstalled fans.. apparently the fans mounted close to the GPU help far as keeping the GPU from overheating ... do you have 3.5 or 2.5 sized drives you'll be carrying over from the previous PC? This might complicate things a bit far as the Lian Li 217 in terms of putting them into the included hard drive caddies and mounting your power supply (depends on how many hard drives if any you are carrying over)

I've enjoyed Christopher Flannigan youtube tutorials not only because I get a kick out of the Irish accent but also because I find his videos to be helpful and informative far as PC cases I've been considering..
One other piece of advice I've seen pop up time and time again online.. don't cheap out on the power supply.. apparently a lot of people do this and pay the price when it wrecks their expensive PC components.. "B" tier minimum , preferably A tier, worth the price

but sign up for alerts for the power supplies for PC's that go on sale too from slickdeals I've been seeing a lot of power supplies that fall into the A tier category on sale (I'd tell you what they are but I can't remember right now

I haven't done a lot of research into liquid/air cooling but if you want to go the CPU air cooler route

I'd pay the extra $15 and go woth the royal pretor but check (measure) the space inside your PC case to make sure it will fit (sorry I should have asked if you are re-using an older PC case, I just assumed you'd be buying a new PC case to go with this other stuff)
I'll just have my brother pick it up and get it when I visit on the 4th of July.
