Get AMD’s new Ryzen 7 7700X3D with 16GB of RAM and a motherboard for just $450 — save 31% on a B650M Micro ATX and G.Skill DDR5 for an epic small build
AMD's latest CPU release is out in the wild and currently has exclusivity with Newegg. So if you want to get your hands on one, it's going to be from the Egg for now, at least. The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D was only recently announced at Computex 2026, slotting in between the 7600X3D and the 7800X3D in the product stack. But with a suggested retail price of $329, it's turning out not to be a great value for money compared with the prices of the existing 7600X3D and 7800X3D processors, that is, until the 7700X3D started appearing in Newegg's combo bundles. Today, you can pick up the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D along with the ASRock B650M Pro RS WiFi Micro ATX motherboard and 16GB of G.SKILL Flare X5 DDR5-6000 RAM for just $450 in this Newegg combo bundle.
The 7700X3D has slightly lower boost clocks than its big brother, the 7800X3D, but it gives you the same eight Zen 4 cores and 104 MB of combined L2 and L3 cache. In this bundle, it works out as a much cheaper 7800X3D alternative, with only a slight drop in overall performance. When paired with the Micro ATX motherboard, this is a great start for a budget-oriented small-form-factor gaming PC.
You're saving a tidy $202.99 (31%) on the price of this combo bundle, thanks firstly to the $153.99 combo discount and then a further $49 when you use promo code PKC337 at checkout.
Pick up a brand-new Newegg combo bundle that features the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D CPU with eight Zen 4 cores and 104 MB of combined L2 and L3 cache, plus ASRock's B650M Pro RS WiFi Micro ATX motherboard and 16GB of G.SKILL Flare X5 DDR5-6000 RAM.
You can also pick up the new AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D separately for just $279.99, as Newegg has slapped the same $49 discount on the individual CPU. Use promo code PKC337 at checkout to apply the discount.
The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D CPU sports eight Zen 4 cores and 104 MB of combined L2 and L3 cache with a 120W TDP on the AM5 platform.
In our review of the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D, we found the CPU to fit between the 7800X3D and 7600X3D, as expected. The 7700X3D shaves 200 MHz off the base clock and 500 MHz off the boost clock, but surprisingly performs closer to the 7600X3D, with only a 2% difference in average performance.

Just $450 for an AM5 7700X3D PC bundle that includes a competent gaming CPU, motherboard, and memory is good enough value, and the Micro ATX board means you could construct a small form factor build, or your own Steam Machine-type setup with superior parts. The big downside to this bundle is the single stick of RAM. It will, of course, still work, but you do take a slight performance hit from not using dual channels. However, you can always upgrade with an extra 16GB stick in future.

Isn't 16GB DDR5 half bandwidth? I would think even an X3D chip would have a significant decrease in gaming performance (the only thing a 7700X3D is worth buying for) with that.
Edit: Posting full bandwidth benchmark results as an example of what to expect with this combo is misleading.
There should at least be a footnote or something.
