If you can’t find the new 9800X3D, this Micro Center 3-in-1 bundle might be just what you need
Table of Contents
Finally, the wait is over as last week AMD launched the highly-anticipated Ryzen 7 9800X3D. In the lead-up to the release, much has been made of the 9800X3D’s supremacy over rival Intel’s latest Core Ultra 285K CPU, and the good publicity seems to be paying dividends.
Online retailers sold out of 9800X3D stock within minutes of release – good news for AMD, no-so-good news for anyone who failed to secure theirs in time. Stock levels continue to be low at the time of writing; you can keep an eye on our 9800X3D stock tracker in the meantime, or opt for a bundle.
Micro Center 3-in-1 9800X3D Bundle (w/ MSI X670E and G.Skill Flare X5 32GB DDR5)
Thankfully we’ve found a way for disappointed fans of Team Red to get hold of the new X3D especially if you’re in the market for some other PC upgrades. Micro Center is offering a 3-in-1 bundle that includes the 9800X3D, an MSI X670E motherboard, and a G.Skill Flare X5 32GB DDR5 memory kit for a serious system upgrade.
What does the Micro Center 9800X3D 3-in-1 bundle offer?
Let’s go through what this 3-in-1 bundle gets you.
CPU
Most importantly, we have the Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU. The latest-gen CPU launched last week, and enjoying incredible demand. The X3D boasts 8 cores and 16 threads with a base frequency of 4.7 GHz, which can go up to 5.20 GHz. With the additional support for overclocking, you should be able to push it way beyond that.

We’ve been reporting that sales of AMD’s new CPU have been vastly outstripping Intel’s Core Ultra alternative, making the 9800X3D the new King of gaming CPUs.
Motherboard
Next up in the bundle is the MSI X670E MAG Tomahawk WiFi AM5 motherboard. A high-performance ATX motherboard designed for AMD’s Ryzen 7000-series processors, making it the perfect companion for your new CPU. Built to support high-end gaming, productivity, and content creation the X670E offers stable power delivery, advanced connectivity options, and extensive support for the latest technologies like DDR5 memory, PCle 5.0, and WiFi 6E.
RAM
The third piece of your bundle comes in the form of G.Skill Flare X5 Series 32GBÂ DDR5 RAM. The kit includes two 16GB sticks, each capable of reaching a speed of up to 6000 MHz. This much RAM will be more than enough for most games and productivity software, and it will also help keep the overall performance of your system smooth.
How much will the Micro Center bundle save you?
Individually the three products would normally set you back $819.97, but thanks to Micro Centre’s limited-time bundle, you can save $89.98 – dropping the price to $729.99. Admittedly this is a bit of a leap in price from the advertised individual price of $479 for the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. However, as we’ve said the high demand for the new CPU has left stocks low or non-existent at many online retailers, and we think the pairing of these three products by Micro Center makes a lot of sense for those who are looking for a full system upgrade, (or those simply too impatient to wait for other retailers to restock).
It is important to be aware that this is an in-store pickup-only promotion, you can reserve and pay online, but you will need to visit your local Micro Center branch to collect it.
