I remember buying this bundle for 679 with better RAM/motherboard back in March and thinking I massively overpaid. Things aren't going to get better, and this is a good deal if you want to build a gaming PC today.

Just as a note they also have the Intel 250K+ and 270K+ bundles with the same 32GB kit of RAM, priced at $530 and $630 (up $30 from a few weeks ago): https://www.microcenter.com/produ...ild-bundle
The 32GB RAM all by itself makes up the majority of the above pricing, buying it elsewhere you'll pay $450-550, or more depending what exactly you get.
Given the price difference, I'd personally go (and did go) with the 270K+ since gaming wise you're probably not going to notice any a difference without benchmarking side by side.. and from an encoding/productivity standpoint the 270K+ is generally more capable. I've been pretty happy with it, made for a solid/substantial upgrade from my ~6 yr old Ryzen 5900X

My only concern would this bundle would be the quality of the MB. But I'm sure it's perfectly good enough.
