Micro Center offers multiple bundles with many combinations of processors, motherboards and RAM. These are separated into two main categories, AMD and Intel based on the CPU that is offered in that bundle.

Bundle FAQ
Can I change what is offered in the bundle to a different product?
We are not able to adjust what is offered in the bundles from what is shown on the website. Many of the bundles come with alternative options though!
- Alternative motherboard options will be shown to the right of the main bundle listing page
- Alternative RAM upgrade options will also be shown at the top of the main bundle listing page, as well as on the listing for the bundle itself.
Are the bundles only available online?
All of the bundles are available in the store as long as stock persists. Customers can:
- Place a reservation for the items online prior to visiting the store
- Speak with a BYO associate upon arriving and they can gather the parts needed
Why can't I search for a bundle with the SKU?
The bundles are all listed under the same SKU, 999999. This is due to how those bundles are rang out in store.
- The bundles do not have a specific SKU referring to that bundle, they are all given the same generic SKU
- Items from the bundle will be scanned in at check out then their prices will be reduced individually to match the bundle pricing
If you need to find any of the bundle's product page it is easiest to use the page links here or navigate to those pages through the website under "PC Parts". [AMD] [Intel]
I see the processor/motherboard/RAM in stock, why is the bundle out of stock?
The bundle listing will only show stock if we have enough of the 3 components offered in that bundle. For example we may have 25+ of the processor and RAM needed but if we are out of the motherboard it will show as out of stock. You can check which part(s) are out of stock at the store location by following these steps!
- Head to the product page for the bundle in question, we will use the 9800x3d bundle for this example. [Here]
- Scroll down to the "PRODUCTS IN THIS BUNDLE" section as pictured below
- From there you can check the stock of the parts individually
That will tell you which item we would need to wait on a restock of before being able to offer that bundle again!
Why does the motherboard manufacturer not list the RAM in the bundle as compatible?
The QVL list for the motherboards will only list the RAM that they tested in their facility while making the product, they are not a list of the ONLY products that are compatible with the motherboard.
- All items we offer in the bundles are tested and confirmed to work in the same machine
- If a customer is having issues with their bundle the first thing we should do is troubleshoot based on their symptoms
- It is entirely possible that any one part of the bundle was defective out of the box and we need to confirm that the parts are working properly before we can consider it an incompatibility problem
Can I return only the processor/motherboard/RAM and keep the rest?
We are not able to return only one part of the bundle, we would need all 3 parts brought back in if they would like to return one or multiple of the items. If they do bring back in all 3 items but only would like to return part of the bundle, we would need to adjust the prices of any parts they are keeping to remove the bundle deal.
