I'm considering an upgrade to AM5 from my current Ryzen 5 3600 and I'm curious about this specific bundle. It's got the Ryzen 5 7600X3D, an ASUS B650E E TUF Gaming WiFi AM5 motherboard, and a GSkill Flare X5 Series 32GB DDR5 6000 kit. Do you think this bundle is good, or would you suggest another option?

It's definitely a big upgrade from the 3600, but I personally find the included motherboard just okay. There are better options out there. I’d actually recommend looking at the Ryzen 7 7700X combo; it gives you a great motherboard and an 8-core CPU, plus the RAM is a very good deal. More modern games are starting to need that extra core count, so there's a lot of value there. But if you stick with this bundle, maybe just upgrade the motherboard later for the best experience.
This bundle looks pretty solid overall, especially for a big leap from the 3600. Just a heads-up, if your budget allows, consider the Ryzen 7 7800X3D as it might offer better performance in the long run.
What’s wrong with the board it comes with?
