I saw that prebuild and it suspiciously uses a stock AMD cooler on the 5600X3D.
They also have a 12700k bundle with a Z690 mobo and 32gb of DDR5 for $350.

I couldn't resist Amazon day deal.

Ryzen 7900X ordered. Only $30 more than 7700X, no brainer. Sale for $350 from $549.

I thought you were already on the 7x00x3d

But I just got my first red switch keyboard after owning so many browns/blues. Gonna take some time to get used to.

I have too many damn keyboards now though

Yep it's been time. Prime day deal as good as it'll get for awhile I'm sure.

No, I got a Gigabyte windforce 4070 open box new at BestBuy for $450 a month ago.

Now I'm kind of kicking myself for not also getting the 42" LG C2 for $650 open box at the same time. Haven't seen it below $700 since.

I sort of want an oled… but man I really don’t want to have to worry about burn in… also apparently text fringing is big issue and makes reading on oleds pretty awful. If I had an oled, it would have to be dedicated strictly to gaming, but I’d also be worried about long sessions because of the burn in risk if UI elements are static.

That's a sweet upgrade. I need to stop being lazy and get my 12900k and mobo installed

Yeah I'm pretty happy with it. That's a good deal on the 7900X, made no sense to get the 7700X for just $30 less.

Text can be annoying but you can fine tune it in windows good enough.

In my research I haven't found burn in to be an issue using it as a monitor.

Is this a good deal on a bundle?

7900X
ASUS B650E-F ROG Strix Gaming WiFi
G.Skill Flare X5 Series 32GB DDR5-6000 Kit

$550

I feel like that's overkill for gaming though.

Yeah it's great value. Not too sure on the mobo not familiar with it.

I already bought an i5 12400 + B660 bundle there but I haven't opened it yet.

That would be quite the jump in performance from a 12400 to a 7900X.

I don't think it's worth buying anything more than something like a 13600k strictly for gaming.
Although I have the urge to buy a 13900k and put it on the cheapest mobo possible and a stock cooler just to see what happens.

I foresee that 13900k thermal throttling back down to a 13600k
