I've been sticking with my AM4 setup for a while now, and the rising RAM prices have held me back from upgrading. I found a bundle that seems interesting: it includes an AMD R5 7600X3D, a Gigabyte B650 Eagle AX motherboard, and 32GB of T-Force D5 6000MHz CL30 RAM for $800 CAD plus tax. Currently, I have 32GB of DDR4 RAM paired with an i5 9600K, but it's really struggling. Is this upgrade worth it?

If you’re trying to save money, think about sticking with AM4. You could build a system with a B550 motherboard and a 5500X3D or 5700X3D, which would let you use your existing DDR4 RAM. If you want a performance boost above what AM4 can provide, though, this bundle could be a solid choice.
Going for a DDR4 build with AM4 or even using an Intel 14th gen chip might be the way to go to keep costs down. Since you already have 32GB of DDR4, that seems like a more economical approach.
You might want to consider getting different RAM instead. The RAM in that bundle isn't the best option if you're looking for optimal performance.
