Nice! One suggestion - please add AM4 socket boards. With current memory prices, AM5 with DDR5 is becoming unattainable for some. DDR4 prices are rising as well. But not nearly as bad as DDR5.
Is that a significant number of people? I kind of expect almost everyone that waited this long to sit tight on their current builds and keep waiting until RAM goes back down.
AM4 has high end gaming CPUs available and there are not yet major limitations besides future upgrades.
AM4 parts probably makes the best value gaming build you can get right now.
The number of people that don't have a previous computer and are shopping based on individual parts is even smaller.

Has the value improved in the last year and a half? The people that would want AM4 have had a long time to buy AM4.
FWIW I recently upgraded and ended up getting something else, but mostly due to lack of availability of ITX AM4 motherboards. I got one with a soldered high end laptop CPU, it was much cheaper.
Consistent drops from secondhand stock sound good.
I'd say yes, my reasoning being:
1. DDR5 got more expensive;
2. 16 cores AM4 CPUs are cheaper, partially due to the release of the 5900XT (16C/32T CPU, basically a rebranded 5950X with 100mhz lower single-core boost clock);
3. Lots of gamers selling their used AM4 kits for good prices as they migrate to the 9800X3D.
