Microcenter has a deal too good to pass up where I can buy a good B450 and a 2700X for $250.

 

Should I jump on this or go with my 3600 that I was thinking of buying?

 

The cost of this would be $269 total and the cost of my 3600 with a motherboard will be $350

3600X and RTX 2070 with too many storage drives to count.

It's about 20 minutes away but man it's a nice store. It's like Comp USA used to be.
