I currently have a gaming setup with a 6900 XT, 32GB of RAM, and a Ryzen 7 5700X. I'm looking to switch to an AM5 CPU to help me give my brother a PC build since I have a spare GPU, PSU, and case lying around. I'm particularly focused on finding the best value upgrade, and I'm okay with buying used parts if they fit my needs. I've been considering a bundle with the 7600X from Micro Center, but I'm not certain if that's the best option available. I primarily game at 1440p.

Given the current prices for DDR5, I'd suggest checking out the 7800X3D bundle from Micro Center—it’s a solid option for gaming. Avoid the 7600X bundle since it only comes with a single 16GB stick of RAM, which can hurt performance. This 7800X3D setup will give you a real boost without breaking the bank.
Yeah, I noticed RAM prices are a bit steep. Have you checked any marketplaces for deals on DDR5? Some decent prices pop up occasionally!
