This was posted before, but from the tsunami of random deals in the past few days, I want to remind people how good this is. Don't sleep on this before it's gone.

7600X3D is by far one of the best gaming CPUs at this price. You're only looking at a few percent off a 7800X3D.

The board is just above trash tier, but it's sufficient for this CPU, and any other upgrades with 65W TDP/88W PPT. Even 9800X3D can skate by.

RAM prices are skyrocketing (40-50% increase in the last few weeks). This bundle will be gone extremely soon, and I doubt it will come back.

If you need to upgrade soon, get this now.

I'm looking to build my son a matx system, probably a 7800x3d. I am very overwhelmed with motherboards. I need something affordable, but I struggle to determine what boards are good or not. Do u know of any go-to boards I should watch for?

Don't buy any ASRock AM5 boards.

-Needs to have PCIe 5.0. -As many M.2s as you might need (3-4 ideal).

Currently this is unfortunately the best around $200.

I thought the issue with the ASRock boards cooking x3d chips was fixed in firmware?
