Not a great deal. You can get 2x8GB DDR4 on ebay for under $80 all day long, and there's no way a cheap CPU cooler and 5600x is worth $175. That's just madness for such old stuff, even in today's bizarro economy.

Nobody is "upgrading" to a 6-year-old 5600X in 2026, and if starting from scratch, a prebuilt is better value currently.
The 5600x3d is on average a bit over 25% faster in gaming compared to the 5600x, so you're getting way better performance plus the additional motherboard at a lower price than this newegg combo for the cpu and ram (plus cheap cpu cooler) alone.
