I am building a pc and I saw this... https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.3488457

Would this be a better then buying the components below seperatley. (These are what I was planning on getting.) I think the combo is only slightly more and it has double the ram and a better proccessor, but I just want to be sure.

MSI Gaming Intel B250 LGA 1151 DDR4 HDMI VR Ready micro-ATX Motherboard (B250M MORTAR) by MSI $102.95

Intel Core i5-7500 LGA 1151 7th Gen Core Desktop Processor (BX80677I57500) by Intel $199.99

Ballistix Sport LT 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR4 2400 MT/s (PC4-19200) DIMM 288-Pin - BLS2K4G4D240FSE (Red) by Ballistix $59.99

If it's new parts with warranty, then it's good deal. Though Mortar is probably slightly better motherboard then this Pro 4, but if it has all things you need (make sure it has required number of USB/M.2/SATA ports you need), then why not.

Problem I have with the combo is its 2133. You ideally want 2400 with a 200 series board and a kaby lake cpu.

Is it worth not getting the 16 gigs of slower ram and just getting the 8 gigs of faster ram?

Why does newegg always seem to be more expensive? Anyway, I think I am just going to buy the components indivdually, Thank you.
