Need Help Choosing Bundle

ddilanna

Hello,

I'm attempting to build my first pc and stumbled upon these bundles. I think I've decided on an AMD Ryzen 7 7800x3D bundle, but there are three different ones and I'd like some help deciding which one is best for me.

Thank you in advance.

Hi! Building your first computer is always a fun experience. Certainly important to get what you are going to be happy with as well! From what I see here, it appears that we only have one 7800x3D bundle available right now. One with and one without a graphics card: https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/bundle-and-save.aspx

That's weird. Your link shows two bundles, but if you go from the Custom PC Builder and select bundle and save, there is a third bundle that has a different motherboard than the other two. Here is a screenshot.

Greetings,

Looks like there is a difference in the motherboard for the two similarly priced ones, and the most expensive one comes with a video card. What kind of questions did you have or what kind of information were you looking for on this?

Could you explain the differences between the motherboards?

Looking at the board comparison for you, it appears that the ASUS board has an 2 PCIe 4.0 slots compared to the 1 that the Gigabyte board does. The Gigabyte board has 2 PCIe 3.0 express lanes to make up for this though! Otherwise they are very similar spec wise. You can check the exact details here: https://www.microcenter.com/endeca/CompareV2.aspx?returnUrl=L3NlYXJjaC9zZWFyY2hfcmVzdWx0cy5hc3B4P049MCZOVFg9bW9kZStNYXRjaFBhcnRpYWwmTlRUPTY5Mzc4OCZOVEs9YWxsJnBhZ2U9MQ%3D%3D

Personally, I recommend the ASUS board!
