The cpus are currently significantly more expensive, yes, but is the AM5 platform that much more expensive than AM4?

On AM4, pcpartpicker says I can get an A520M board for $70, and 2x16GB DDR4-3600 CL18 for $55; total $125

On AM5, an A620M board is $75, and 2x16GB DDR5-5600 starts at $76; total $151.

The real question is where the Microcenter bundle pricing will end up, if you live near a Microcenter.

Mmm, A620 has come down considerably since I last checked. That's good.
