Memory prices continue to be on the higher side, with speculations of continued price instability throughout the year. One of the best ways to get reasonably priced RAM right now is to opt for a combo bundle, which can significantly bring down the total cost of your build. Newegg currently is offering one such motherboard-memory-CPU bundle for anyone planning to build a powerful gaming PC with serious horsepower. Priced at $1,121.99, this bundle includes a Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB DDR5 6400 RAM kit, an Asus ROG Crosshair X870E Apex motherboard, and an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU.
These are high-end components that demand a premium. The RAM kit alone is priced at $437.99 due to the ongoing memory crisis, while the AMD X3D chip costs $469, and the X870E motherboard sells for $692.99. Altogether, you have components that are actually worth $1,599.98 when bought separately at today’s market prices.
Corsair is a popular name when it comes to PC memory, and the Vengeance RGB 32GB DDR5 kit in this bundle is one of its top-selling variants, offering speeds of up to 6,400 MHz with a CL36 CAS latency. It also comes with a diffused RGB light strip with ten individually addressable, bright RGB LEDs that can be fully customized using Corsair’s iCUE software. This bundle also includes Corsair's Dark Core RGB Pro SE gaming mouse, worth $99.99.
The ROG Crosshair X870E Apex motherboard from Asus is the most expensive component in this bundle, and it is packed with features. Meant for overclockers and enthusiasts, some of its unique offerings include extensive BIOS controls for system tweaking, a RAM cooling fan kit, and a DIMM.2 proprietary riser card that looks like a RAM stick but holds up to two additional M.2 NVMe SSDs. The motherboard also offers solid connectivity options, including two USB 4.0 Type-C 40Gbps ports, six USB 10Gbps ports (1x USB Type-C, 5x USB Type-A), a 5-gigabit Ethernet port, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4. It also comes with a robust power delivery system with plenty of heatsinks to withstand high temperatures.
Lastly, we have the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, which is currently the best gaming CPU that money can buy. It is expected to be replaced by the Ryzen 7 9850X3D in a matter of days, although that shouldn’t really matter as the overall performance gain is not going to be monumental. The 9800X3D is based on AMD’s Zen 5 architecture and features second-generation 3D V-Cache. It has eight cores and 16 threads, a base clock of 4.7 GHz, and a boost clock of up to 5.2 GHz, with a total of 96 MB of L3 cache and a 120 W TDP. According to our testing, it remains the top gaming CPU delivering excellent performance in gaming benchmarks, outperforming Intel’s best CPUs at a lower power consumption.
If you’re planning for a high-end gaming build with top-tier parts while avoiding inflated RAM prices, this Newegg combo is hard to ignore.
