Micro Center is still running this affordable AM5 bundle, 7700X included

Micro Center is home to some fantastic bundle deals if you’re interested in building a new gaming PC. This three-in-one hardware bundle gives you the essentials to get your new build started, and importantly, it means you upgrade to AMD’s latest AM5 platform for a future-proof system.

Alongside the Ryzen 7 7700X CPU, you also get a DDR5 motherboard and DDR5 RAM with this package. The best thing is that all of this comes in at under $370 thanks to a large discount in place. Get yourself over to Micro Center to make the most of this while you can.

AMD Ryzen 7 7700X bundle deal

If you’re interested, the Micro Center store page is just a click away. One of the downsides of this deal is that it’s only available for in-store pickup. That means you’ll need a store local to you, unless you don’t mind a road trip. The bundle costs just $369.99 and earns you a saving a $244.98 against the usual $614.97 price tag. Below you’ll find the exact hardware included:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
• Motherboard: MSI B650-P Pro WiFi
• RAM: G.Skill Flare X5 Series 32GB DDR5-6000 Kit

The 7700X alone costs $279.99 at the time of writing, so you’re getting a motherboard and massive 32GB of RAM for just $90 extra. The 7700X offers solid performance and 8 cores to handle busy workloads, just know that you’ll need to buy cooling separately (our best CPU cooler for 7700X guide will sort you out).

Is this Micro Center bundle worth it?

We’ve already discussed the kind of saving to be made, and we think that makes the whole package worth it. Sure, this isn’t the best CPU for gaming on the market, but it is a mid-range option that is more than enough processing power for daily use and heavy gaming workloads. Make sure you’re got a suitable GPU for the job, and you’re on your way.

Aside from the 7700X, the fast DDR5-6000 32GB of RAM is more than enough for pretty much any user, while the MSI B650-P motherboard offers solid connectivity, including on-board Wi-Fi and space for two M.2 SSDs.
