Between rising RAM prices today and swirling, scary rumors about next-gen graphics cards (not to mention hard drives), it's a tough time to build a PC. But this four-item combo from Newegg could get you about halfway there, while saving some money in the process. It includes a CPU, 240mm AIO, motherboard, and case, with a $95 discount on top of the individual discounts for each component.
The bundle includes an AMD Ryzen 5 9600X processor paired with an MSI Pro B850-P Wi-Fi motherboard, a Cooler Master 240 Elite AIO, and a Montech X3 Mesh mid-tower gaming case, knocking off an additional 21% if you bought these separately, bringing the price to a low $338.99 when you use the $10 off promo code BFE922.
The Ryzen 5 9600X and its six-core 12-thread configuration have “exceptional gaming performance for the price point,” low power consumption, good efficiency, and showed class-leading single-threaded performance, according to our review. We also liked the price point at release ($279), and now you can find it for even less ($214). While it’s not an X3D chip, this CPU is still a solid base for a gaming system, and there’s room for upgrades in the future.
Below, we’ve included a couple of charts that show off its gaming prowess and single/multi-threaded performance across our suite of tests. As you can see, the 9600X holds it own, particularly in gaming, against processors that cost a lot more.
Newegg also throws in a budget mid-tower case, the Montech X3 Mesh. For just under $60 if you bought it alone, Montech includes six RGB fans (three 140mm, and three 120mm) for good airflow out of the box. It has a clear glass side panel on hinges, offering a panoramic view of the internals.
Overall, the $348.99 price is hard to beat for these parts, especially with the free Cooler Master 240mm Elite AIO. Not only that, the combo provides users with the basis for a great system today and expandability for tomorrow, including reportedly next-gen AMD CPUs. The money saved in this combo deal will undoubtedly help take the sting out of the ridiculously high DDR5 prices.
