I’m blessed to live 30 mins from two Microcenters. This was two years ago but during the height of the shortages, I was able to walk in and build my entire new PC. MSI 3060 ti ON SALE for $399. (On Newegg it was $750), then they had THEIR Mobo/CPU combo for $599 and it was. Prime X570 Pro and 5900x. I was shocked. Then they had a deal on 32gb of Trident ram if you bought a 970 EVO 1TB so I scooped that and another 2TB SSD, Seasonic fanless plat PSU, and a 710i case (a little oversized but I replaced the 3060ti later with a 3080. Overall I built that whole setup for around $2000 said and done. My my friends all Amazon build at the time with a 3060 ti, 5600x, basic mobo, case, ram and bronze PSU. His came to like $2600. Lol Microcenter is the SHIT and I advise all my friends to drive within 2 hours to save the money.

Micro Center bundles are absolutely insane! I almost bought that exact same bundle but I instead went with the AMD Bundle with a Ryzen 7 7700X, MSI-Pro B650-P WiFi Mobo and G.Skill DDR5 ram (32gb) which is priced the exact same as the Intel bundle. Unfortunately I was on a budget of about $800 so that limited my choices on other components. The rest of my components include a refurbished Asus RTX 2060 which I scooped up for $150 which was so amazing, my SSD is an Inland Performance Plus 2TB, i have a PowerSpec 750 Watt PSU and a DeepCool AK400 CPU cooler. Finally, my case is the NZXT H5 Flow. I really hope to upgrade my GPU in the future which would make my PC very capable.
