My main desktop finally crapped out on me after 14 years (not kidding). We don’t have a Micro Center in my city so I’ve had to be envious of their deals from afar, and it so happens I’ll be in Houston this weekend so it seems like it’s all coming together. I’ve been eyeing the 9600x bundle as something within my budget, but I haven’t really kept up with any of this stuff.

To my understanding it just edges out the 7600X3D for my needs (Photoshop, Illustrator, Fusion360, Blender) with just a $20 difference. The next bundle up appears to be the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, however no ram is included so we’d be closer to ~$600 just to get a bump in Blender.

I’m just second guessing myself, but the 9600x bundle seems solid. Thoughts?

Thanks!
