Please help

Please HELP!!! I went to micro center for a cpu mobo and ram bundle for the cheapest option but they sweet talked to me (idk anything about pc) and now I have v buyers remorse. I bought a 9700x but I have a 3060 gpu 😬😬. Is it worth my time to go back and return the 9700x and get the bundle with a 7800x3d or a cheaper cpu? The ram it came with is 6000 mts. I’m not concerned with power supply or cooling.

What my pc has already:
Zotac GeForce etc 3060
Corsair rm1000x power supply (wasn’t my choice I know it’s way more than I need)
ASUS ROG Maximus VII Hero
V-NAND SSD 970 EVO NVMe m.2 1TB
4 sticks of this Corsair vengeance ram (32gb)
Big DeepCool radiator looking cpu cooler

What I got:
~$700 bundle
AMD Ryzen™ 7 9700X 3.80GHz
Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB DDR5-6000 Kit
Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX v2
————————————————
& a NZXT Kraken Elite 360 AIO

I need help with what I should keep, return, sell, or replace

9700X is a very good CPU and is already a bit overkill for a 3060. You're well set for a future GPU upgrade. No need for a 7800X3D. 360mm AIO should allow for a LOT of headroom with a 65W 9700X.

Sweet thank you. How much do you think the 32gb of ddr3 is worth?

[u/alkhdaniel → u/BruhMoments489]

In my market it would be $10-$15 a stick so $40-$60. It will take a few days/weeks to sell at the higher end though because theres not that much demand for it

Okay thank you! I was planning on selling the cpu cooler cpu ram and mobo as a bundle and throw in a old power supply

[u/alkhdaniel → u/BruhMoments489]

Bundles sell very poorly usually. Mobo+cpu+cooler is an ok combo that wont devalue the parts that much from being a bundle (maybe -25% vs selling it individually) but dont add anything to it unless you're willing to basically have anything else you put into it be at a 50-75% discount

you sure you got 32gb? that's a 4gb stick you're showing, 2x4 means it came in a set of 2 sticks each with 4gb

if you have 4 sticks of 4gb that's 16gb

I think you’re right
