Micro Center AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Matisse Desktop Processor 8-Core Up to 4.4GHz Unlocked with Wraith Prism LED Cooler Bundle with ASUS TUF B450-PLUS II AMD AM4 Ryzen 5000 ATX Gaming Motherboard

You get what you pay for, I can't complain, but for someone looking to buy this you will need a GPU for display and may have to update the bios it's easy plenty of videos if you do not know how to. I would also like to add if you are building a new system and using an existing ssd/hd and if you get the blue screen of death, do not freak out just download a free version of windows on a flash drive, ( from another computer) plug in the flash drive and spam f2 till bios pops up go to boot menu select not from flash drive. It will do the rest once you get all set make sure you log into your Microsoft account go to settings you will see an option that says I have recently upgraded our changed hardware you will see your new PC in the box and that will automatically link your windows key to your computer so no stupid water mark

Awesome setup, if you know anything about the processor you're buying, you'll know that it's not compatible with the boards on-board HDMI port. If you're buying this setup, it should be assumed you're putting an actual video card into it. Totally worth it.

The parts are compatible, no need for a BIOS update. Paired it with an rtx 3060 and can comfortably run games at high settings. I haven't overclock the CPU since there was no need for it, but I guess an X470 mother board might be better for that.By the way, Ryzen CPUs that don't have a "G" at the end of their model number (ex: Ryzen 3 3200G) don't have integrated graphics, so you need a discrete graphics card to get video out.

The motherboard and CPU are a great combo and work perfect together. It took my TeamGroup 2x16GB DDR4 3600 RAM without issue, and the XMP profiles worked instantly. Combined with a RTX2060, 650w PSU, 1TB NVMe, and a 1TB SSD, it made a fantastic mid-range gaming system that I am enjoying daily.The only issue I had was installing the motherboard into my case. My case has the mobo on top and the PSU underneath. So the Motherboard sits only about 1" from the top of the case, with a passthrough hole in the gap for running cables cleanly. This is where the issue was. Due to the tall heatsinks and such on the mobo and the huge cover over the IO panel, it was quite the challenge to plug in the 8-Pin CPU connection. I had to run it through the passthrough, make it immediate do a 180 and twist around, and then had to plug it in, with no clearance or extra space to work with. It took 10+ minutes of sweating and swearing to line up the plugs (Yes, it was a 4-Pin x2) by holding the cables as there was no way I could hold the plug itself, due to no room to grip it. Finally I got it to sit right, and then had to use a flathead screwdriver to carefully press down the back of the plugs until they locked into place.That is really the only complaint I had. If I had longer cables on the PSU, or didn't care about a clean cable setup, I could have pre-plugged it in prior to screwing in the motherboard. But, my OCD wouldn't allow that.The parts are great, and the AMD 3700X is a beast of a CPU. I'm using the OEM cooler as I don't have any reason to overclock this monster. At least, not yet. It handles the temps great, and even under full load, I'm not worried about overheating.

Good motherboard but no gpu. Make sure you have a graphics card or going to buy one. I missed this and then had to order one and wait for it to ship. Still a good combo just wish it was more clear on this I would have order it all at one time.

Had to replace motherboard that died. Install was a snap. ( I'm over 80) Was nice to have everything in a bundle.

Personal gaming rig, runs all games out so far

I got this bundle for a build for my sons birthday. Apon receiving it we put it together and it would not boot up so I took it to a local shop and found out that the cpu was defective. I had to contact AMC and got it exchanged for free. So I'm thinking, "cool after all these months finally it will be done." But no I put it all together again only to find out the the motherboard was also defective. I ended up just going to Best Buy to buy a new one. So in short there is no positive things I can say about this Amazon purchase. And when I build my machine I WON'T be buying from this company or from Amazon .
