This deal is like paying $500 for RAM and get CPU and board for free.
By the way, MC starts forcing people to show photo ID and sign no-export paper when buying high end PC and PC parts. I dont know how MC defines the high end parts.

Yep. Got the $599 270K+ bundle myself recently and it's basically the same story. Would've been more expensive buying just the CPU & RAM elsewhere.

Finally got it built earlier this week, very pleased with the 270K+ - good upgrade from my aging (albeit still capable) Ryzen 5900X which was starting to hitch/stutter in games. Everything's buttery smooth again with the 270K+ and it's got performance headroom for days. Multithreaded perf is over 2x what it was before, and single threaded perf is over 1.5x.

Why did you choose this vs AM5 which has an upgrade path ?

The 270k+ combo is so competitively priced at MC that a comparable performing combo for the 9800x3D is $900. You can always buy a new motherboard if you decide to go back to AM5 down the road with the $300 savings. Typically the 9800x3D combo was around $600-700 before that RAM price gouging.

If you can swing an additional $100, go with the 270k+combo. That price to performance makes it the #1 CPU for budget builds these days breathing down the neck of AMD's 9800x3d and 9950x3d.
