How much slower is single channel than dual channel in this case (just one RAM stick)?

for x3d cpu, no slow down. (only 1-2%) but 7600x wise, about 10% slow.

7500X3D bundle is $20 more and the superior choice if you're going to game. Plus, personal preference here... but I'd rather have a Micro ATX board these days. Full size ATX feels like overkill if you're just building a gaming rig, and you don't incur the mini itx tax.

Throw it in a lian li dan a3 with a corsair sfx and you'll have a super clean build.

Think they can build this into a desktop for the same price? I have a kid with a birthday in 3 days and no time to build anything

If you mean for an additional $285? That's a maybe. You'll probably end up with a 500GB hard drive.

Hey if I've never built a computer before but smart enough to get through the Microcenter Build It bundle steps, how hard and specialized are these builds? Don't want to solder anything but also don't want to pay $250 for microcenter to just plug parts in? TIA

Here's a 2-hour linus tech tips video that should be helpful (it's VERY in-depth).

The actual build starts at 38:10. before that is tips, finding components, etc.

I've never built a PC, only swapped a graphics card like 10 years ago, and I just finished a build with the 7500 x3d bundle. Choose a case that fits your motherboard size (if you haven't already) and just YouTube it. I finished mine in one night after watching a few videos. Hardest part for me was figuring out where the case wire connected to the motherboard, and which PSU cables I actually needed. ChatGPT basically walked me through it in an hour

I charge around $100 typically, and have done thousands over 40 years. Don't pay them more than that for a build or pre-built. I haven't watched the video above, because Linus is a scumbag, but there's plenty online. If at all possible find a friend, or a friend of a friend willing to build it, or walk you through it. Anyone can slap parts together, but most DIYers have only built a dozen or fewer, and there are issues that crop up far less frequently. Defective components are more common than most would realize, or the companies will admit. If it's for gaming, consider the 7500X3D bundle, and figure $50-75 for the case, $100 for the SSD, $50-75 for the PSU, $30-40 for a better CPU cooler, and I recommend either used for the GPU (no more than $250 for a RTX 3070 or better), or $350 for a new 9060 XT.

Thanks, what about a graphics card? It seems that Microcenter will let you just keep adding things that it doesn't necessarily need to run. Also should I get Windows from them?
