There's a local electronic shop offering a bundle deal that includes an AMD R7 9700X processor, an Asus Tuf B850-E WiFi motherboard, and an Asus Prime RX9070XT 16GB OC triple fan GPU for 1519 SGD (about 1185 USD). I'm considering this as an upgrade for my current setup, which has an AMD R5 5600, an Asus B550 motherboard, and an Nvidia 3060 dual fan GPU. I mainly play games like Valorant and some open-world titles on a 1440p monitor with a 1080p monitor as a second display. I'm looking for advice on whether this is a good deal or if I should hold off until I find a better option.

You should definitely check the cost of compatible DDR5 RAM in Singapore before making a decision. If the bundle came with RAM, it would be a solid yes, but without it, I'm not too sure. It might not be worth it if you have to spend more on components separately.
At 1185 USD, you're not getting a PSU, case, SSD, or RAM, which can all add up quite a bit. Honestly, it doesn't seem like a good deal to me considering those expenses.
If you were to buy these components individually, it’d probably be around 1200 USD. The prices in Singapore are kind of ridiculous right now, honestly.
Yeah lol. I've started comparing prices at different stores in Sim Lim Square. I’m just short of going there to ask for a discount, unless someone is willing to give me insider tips!
