Microcenter Offers A Free DDR5 Memory Kit With AMD’s Ryzen 9000 CPUs: 32 GB For Ryzen 7 9700X & 16 GB For Ryzen 5 9600X

Microcenter is the first manufacturer to offer a bundled deal with AMD's latest Ryzen 9000 CPUs which include a 32 GB DDR5 kit with Ryzen 7 9700X & 16 GB kit with Ryzen 5 9600X purchases at the retail outlet.

AMD's Ryzen 7 9700X & Ryzen 5 9600X "Zen 5" Desktop CPUs may not offer the best value if we compare them to Ryzen 7000 "Zen 4" chips despite the company's best efforts to price them at lower MSRPs than the predecessors. It's just that the discounts and current prices on older CPU offerings are too hard to beat and unless we start seeing some discounts on the new lineup, they won't attract that many consumers.

One way to add more value to the AMD Ryzen 9000 "Zen 5" Desktop CPUs is through game or hardware bundles. AMD's most recent game bundle doesn't apply to Ryzen 9000 CPUs yet but Microcenter is now the first US retailer to offer a bundled deal on the newly launched CPUs. The retailer has previously offered some amazing deals and discounts with the Ryzen 7000/5000 CPU families so this move was kind of expected but not this early as it has only been 10 days since the CPUs became available on retail shelves.

So coming to the deals, the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X is available at Microcenter with a bundled G.Skill Flare X5 Series DDR5-6000 memory kit with 32 GB capacity. That alone should be a good $100 US value as this is the price this kit goes for at various major retailers. The CPU is priced at $360 US so you're essentially paying $260 US for the Ryzen 7 9700X which is a fantastic deal considering the Ryzen 7 7700X costs $269 US at the same retailer.

Microcenter does offer the Ryzen 7 7700X with a different deal priced at $435 US which includes the CPU, the same 32 GB DDR5 memory kit, and a MSI B650 motherboard which is valued at
