I'm looking to upgrade most of my PC after having it for five years, as it's been struggling a bit. Here's what I currently have:
- GPU: 2080 Super
- CPU: i9 9900k
- RAM: 32GB DDR4 3600
I'm considering purchasing this bundle for a new CPU, motherboard, and RAM [CPU + MOBO + RAM](https://www.microcenter.com/product/5007269/amd-ryzen-7-9800x3d,-asus-b650e-e-tuf-gaming-wifi-am5,-crucial-pro-overclocking-32gb-ddr5-6000-kit,-computer-build-bundle) along with a new GPU [GPU](https://www.microcenter.com/product/701845/asrock-amd-radeon-rx-9070-xt-challenger-triple-fan-16gb-gddr6-pcie-50-graphics-card). I'd love to hear your thoughts on the price and performance, and whether I might run into any bottlenecks with this setup!

You've picked some awesome components there! This upgrade will definitely boost your performance.
That upgrade looks solid! The 9070 XT is definitely a great choice. If you're looking to cut costs, you might consider switching the CPU to a 7800X3D instead of overspending on a lesser GPU. Just a thought!
If you can, I'd suggest going for the 5070 instead; it might be worth it in the long run!
Looks great to me. I have a full AMD build with a 5950X and it's been running smoothly for a couple of years. You'll enjoy the upgrade!
Everything you've got here looks good! I'd recommend making the purchase soon since there might be a RAM shortage coming. Deals like these won’t last forever!
Totally agree, a 7800X3D would save you some cash without sacrificing too much performance.
