Help choosing microcenter upgrade bundle

Build Upgrade

I recently took my PC into microcenter for repairs as something was causing it to crash constantly in the last 2 weeks. They believe the issue is motherboard related and should be changed out. I figured that now is as good a time as any to upgrade some of the aging parts.

My PC currently has the following:

3600x

6800xt (upgraded a few months ago)

4x8 DDR4-3600

B450M

I was looking at parts and found three bundles that look appealing.

First is a 7500x3D, 1x16 DDR5-6000, and an ASRock B850M-C.

Second is a 7600x3D, 1x16 DDR5-6000, and a Gigabyte B650.

Lastly is a 7800x3D, 2x16 DDR5-6000, and an ASUS B650E MAX.

I’ve heard good things about the x3D versions of CPUs and I mostly use the PC for games (War Thunder, Deadlock, Vintage Story), but I want to start learning 3D animation with Blender. Any recommendations either on or off the list?
