Usually, this hovers around $649 - $669, and might include a free AIO Cooler and/or game. But this sale puts the savings in your pocket, and includes a free AIO Cooler too.
You must mean the regular 9950X, not the 9950X3D. I did a quick check and there was a price drop in June 2025 for the 9950X (non-3D variant).
You may be correct that there is almost no perceivable difference between the standard 9950X and the 270k+. However, for users looking to take advantage of the extra L3 Cache provided by 3D V-Cache, the 9950X3D is superior.
Regarding 4K Gaming, based on my personal experience with my 9950X3D that I've owned since December 2025, the main benefit of running an X3D CPU at 4K is improving the 1% and 0.1% lows. A secondary benefit is boosting performance with FSR/DLSS.
Memory prices may or may not come down in price next year. If you want or need an upgrade sooner than later, this deal will save you $130 directly - which you can put towards a kit of RAM or other components.
As for whether the 9950X3D will be available at $569 during Zen 6's launch - don't count on it.
Based off the 7950X3D's history, that was silently discontinued before the 9950X3D released. With a best price of $450 - $465 during the summer preceding the 9950X3D's March 2025 release, the 7950X3D's sale price continually went up until it disappeared in February 2025. If Zen 6 X3D launches by September 2027, I'd expect Q4 this year to be when AMD silently discontinues the 9950X3D. If they leave any product in production until Zen 6 X3D, it'd be their more expensive 9950X3D2 - but I doubt it'd ever drop below the 9950X3D's $699 MSRP.
A new GPU is solid advice, but not everyone needs one. That said, if you need help figuring out which one to get, or if you even need one, feel free to PM me (with your system specs).

This bundle pairs AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X3D with a free 240mm AIO, making it a strong high end pick for gaming and productivity. The chip is praised for excellent 4K gaming, especially better 1 percent and 0.1 percent lows, while the extra cores help keep the system responsive under load. Pricing is also attractive, with this sale landing below the usual $649 to $669 range and even beating a June low. The main caveat is value versus cheaper alternatives or waiting for Zen 6, especially if you already have a capable AM4 or 7950X3D setup. A solid option if you want top tier AM5 performance now.
4K gamers chasing better 1% and 0.1% lows, because the extra 3D V-Cache mainly improves frame-time consistency at that resolution.
Power users who want a fast all-rounder for gaming and productivity, because the extra cores keep the system responsive and the bundle undercuts higher-priced alternatives.
Upgraders who need the performance now, because the discount can free up money for RAM or other parts while still getting a top-end chip.
Players with titles that need manual core pinning, because some games require forcing the 3D V-Cache CCD with Processor Lasso.
AM4 owners who already have a capable gaming setup, because the performance jump may not justify replacing the platform yet.
Builders who can wait for the next CPU generation, because Zen 6-era parts may bring a newer platform and better timing.
Owners of a 7950X3D who mainly game, because the upgrade is only worth it for a specific non-gaming need.
Shoppers expecting a simple drop-in upgrade without tuning, because some games need manual CCD selection to use the right cores.
