Newegg is at it again with their combo deals. This time, they put together an awesome 5-item bundle that will not only save you tons of money, literally $1,933.97 (40%) off, it’s built with high-quality name-brand parts, AND the colors of the hardware actually match. That’s right, you won’t have to sulk because they included black ram with a white motherboard just save a little money. $2,999.99 gets you one of the fastest gaming CPUs available in the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, a massive 128GB of G.Skill DDR5-6000 RAM, a quality Asus ROG Strix B850-F Gaming Wifi7 Neo motherboard, a potent video card in Gigabyte’s Windforce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB, and fast storage using a Western Digital SN850X 1TB M.2 SSD.

They also throw in a couple of freebies, including the flexible mid-tower Corsair 3500X chassis and MSI MAG Coreliquid A13 240 AIO on top to sweeten the pot. In a nutshell, it’s an entire PC in a combo - just add a power supply (I suggest 850-1000W).

This combo begins with one of the most frequently bought current-generation CPUs in the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. This 8-core/16-thread Zen5-based processor has a base clock of 4.6 GHz and a max boost of 5.2 GHz, which is plenty of speed for any task. The 96MB of L3 cache on the X3D variant helps with gaming (among other things), making it one of the fastest gaming CPUs available. It is also a well-rounded performer that excels in games and is a good match for all but the most thread-heavy applications.

For all those RAM-needy users, G.Skill’s 128GB Trident Z5 Neo RGB series goes a long way to quench that thirst. The 2x64GB kit is a great match for the platform and runs at DDR5-6000 speeds with major timings of CL34-44-44-96. While not the fastest, it is in the ‘AM5 sweet spot,’ and it becomes difficult to run larger capacities any faster. The black sticks sport a frosted RGB strip across the top and are sure to look good in this case and with the Asus motherboard. I’d also like to mention that if you tried to buy this kit alone, it’s $100 less than the entire combo.

Speaking of motherboards, Asus’ ROG Strix B850-F Gaming Wi-Fi 7 Neo pairs with the bundle like a fine wine and cheese. This mid-range ATX board offers plenty of connectivity on the rear I/O, including 12 USB ports (nine Type-A, three Type-C), fast networking with integrated Wi-Fi 7 and 5GbE, four M.2 sockets (one PCIe 5.0 x4) and two SATA ports for storage, a quality audio solution (Realtek ALC4080), and robust power delivery that easily handles the 9800X3D, or even the flagship-class processors that use more power. The all-black aesthetic is sure to look good inside the chassis.


On the storage front, Newegg drops in a well-known name brand in the Western Digital Black 1TB SN850X. We reviewed this drive and loved its excellent performance, especially for games, ranking as one of the fastest we tested at that time. Using its own proprietary controller and DDR4 DRAM cache, you’ll see speeds up to 7,300 MBps reads, 6,300 MBps writes, and 800K/1.1K (R/W) IOPS along with 600TBW endurance. Western Digital stands behind these drives with a 5-year warranty.

Last but certainly not least is the Gigabyte Windforce GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB. This mid-range graphics card offers plenty of horsepower for high-frequency 1080p and 1440p gaming, and even a respectable entry-level 4K card. Our in-house testing across 16 games shows the RTX 5070 Ti averaging 125 frames per second in 1080p, over 1000 at 1440p, and it breaks the 60 frames per second mark at 4K. As you can see, it’s plenty capable across all resolutions, and the 3-fan setup keeps the card running cool during long gaming sessions.

Featuring one of the fastest gaming CPUs around, a whopping 128GB of DDR5 RAM, and a capable RTX 5070 Ti graphics card, it will charge through almost anything you throw at it. It's also the cheapest way to walk away with 128GB of RAM when this was posted. With all of the freebies, all you need is a power supply to complete the build.
