The bundle that microcenter is offering seems like a good deal, and I am worried that it would be gone soon because prices will just be rising I fear.
Since MicroCenter is available, definitely utilize their deals. You're paying 30% the price of a full platform upgrade from MC for just 16gb of DDR4.
Honestly, if your buddy let you sell that RAM you could step into AM5 with a microcenter bundle. I would.
You have a MicroCenter, so it makes huge financial sense to go for a bundle.
I'd get this bundle https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/bundle-and-save.aspx

Microcenter and Costco have some pretty great prebuilts I hear, though I've not looked into them personally.
Microcenter prebuilts are often pretty good deals, since they're generally using off-the-shelf parts as well.
If you're near a Microcenter, they have some of the best bundle deals you can find for CPU, Motherboard, & RAM.
Other prebuilts have already been raised in price significantly and you'll usually be spending $400+ extra buying a prebuilt from almost anyone else... i.e. the usual markup for prebuilts.
Microcenter are still selling prebuilts with pricing closer to the price you would have paid a few months ago.
