As Black Friday ramps up, we're trying to find the best deals on PC hardware and components, notably RAM. The AI explosion is crunching hardware prices for PC enthusiasts and builders, with 64GB of DDR5 now costing as much as your average gaming console. We've found a few discounts on memory, but nothing much to write home about. But one very interesting avenue you could consider is the Black Friday PC component bundle.

A word of warning: not all bundles are created equal. We've seen at least one deal that pairs DDR5 RAM with a DDR4 motherboard (not included here, obviously), so double-check compatibility between parts yourself.

There are plenty of motherboard/CPU combos on sale this Black Friday, but this bundle includes a coveted kit of DDR5-6000 memory, a current-gen Intel Core 7 CPU, and a case, too.

Of course, buying a bundle of any descript will reduce your flexibility a little when it comes to buying parts and putting your PC together. However, at a time when core components like RAM are spiralling in price, these bundles are some of the best ways to keep costs down.

Because there are bundle deals across a range of prices and chipsets, too, there's something for everyone. So, whether you want a new DDR5 offering to build around the latest AMD gaming CPU, something from Intel, or a tried-and-tested older AMD rig, pick through some of the bundles Newegg has to offer, and you might find a very pleasant surprise.
