I recently upgraded to the Micro Center AMD Ryzen 7 7700X bundle with the GIGABYTE B650M DS3H motherboard, and I'm blown away by the quality and performance. The Ryzen 7 7700X, being a current-gen processor, offers a massive performance leap over my old i7 8700k. The 8 cores and 16 threads handle everything I throw at it with ease, making it perfect for both gaming and multitasking.The GIGABYTE B650M DS3H motherboard is a great match for the 7700X. Its build quality is solid, and the features like DDR5 support, PCIe 4.0, and USB 3.2 Gen2X2 Type-C port are future-proof. The 2.5GbE LAN is a nice touch for faster internet connectivity.Speaking of gaming, this setup runs Star Citizen at an average of 70 fps when paired with my 4070 GPU, which is impressive. The smoothness and responsiveness in game are remarkable. It's a huge upgrade from my previous experience with the i7 8700k, where I struggled to get consistent frame rates in such demanding titles.For anyone looking to significantly upgrade their gaming rig, especially coming from older setups like the i7 8700k, I highly recommend this bundle. The Ryzen 7 7700X and GIGABYTE B650M DS3H motherboard combination offers exceptional performance and value, making it a top choice for gamers and power users alike.

I am pretty lucky I got this deal, and I would highly recommend it. If you find this deal, I assume you do not need an introduction on either of these products. They both work well and allow for easy upgrading.

The only game on my system is Fallout 4. That's it. Max utilization of the 5700x is 38.6%. I let AMD's Ryzen Master control the speed. It set the CPU max at 4.7... however, it has hit 4.9 for a brief moment. Also, the CPU is rated at 65W. My system puts it at 76W. ALL depends on your cooling. My system never goes above 65C. I use a Deepcool AK 620 Wh for cooling.The motherboard is the B550 -A gaming. It's simple to make changes in Bios. I changed my memory speed to 3600 with no problems. I did not do any CPU changes. I let RM do that.Now, for the little lights. They shine yellow, red, white and green. If you boot and yellow or red are showing, you need to go into bios and see what is wrong. If green, the light will shut off. If white, your system will run but you may have issues. Frankly, I just restart and white goes away. It works. I don't know why and it doesn't happen often. I am guessing that RM and the board haven't communicated with each other.Am I happy with this set up? Ask me in 3 years.Update. That pesky white light. Turns out, my TV (not a monitor) communicates with the graphics card, which in turn communicates with the MB. So, TV must be on first. Then turn on computer. No pesky white light. Don't ask me why, I don't know.

It’s the best I was able to overclock no problem running 100 fps with just 4400 cpu and 2000 apu and 1,28 v
