Give us some links for combo of motherboard, CPU and fan. I assume it needs a fan.

CPU + Mobo combo plus a CPU cooler which adds up to about $381.40 which is $8 more than Chinese CPU + mobo combo. I think that's close enough to be within the margin of price fluctuations. That AM5 mobo comes with four memory slots, PCIe 4.0, USB 3.2 and Wifi 6E. Those features may be worth extra $8 for some.

Bundle List Price: $498.99

Not even close.

Total is $398 bundle with lower end fan. It is comparable.

The choice will be driven by hardware characteristics for me. Power vs performance questions. If performance is roughly the same, then I will prefer lower power consumption.

That's not a MSRP. You can't compare a deal to MSRP.
