Hi all. I am upgrading my 6850k build to 14900k. At the moment microcenter has a bundle deal of Intel i9 14900K, MSI Z790 MAG Tomahawk WiFi, G.Skill 64GB DDR5-5600 Kit for $800. Is this a good bundle? I don't mind paying more if necessary.

I will just comment on the power side since I looked into it recently. It appears to be one of the higher end msi boards, If I am understanding it correctly that msi board has 90 amp phases which is pretty high. Other z790 boards I have looked at have 60 amp phases but even those can handle a 14900k based on their website. So the msi board can definitely handle a 14900k from a power standpoint. Hope this helps.
