Prices on DDR5 are out of control, but Newegg has a bundle going that makes picking up a kit more bearable. The bundle brings together 32GB of Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 CL36 memory, an MSI X870 Gaming Plus Wi-Fi motherboard, and a Corsair iCue Link H115i cooler for $409.98. That's $3 more than buying the memory alone, essentially giving you the motherboard and cooler for free.
The bundle is technically only for the memory and motherboard, but Newegg is throwing in the Corsair cooler as a freebie right now. You'll still need to get a CPU, but if you pick up one of the many deals on Zen 4/5 CPUs right now, you can make out with nearly a full rig without spending much.
The fact that you're getting a free motherboard and cooler with a DDR5 purchase is already attractive, but even the prices on the individual components in this bundle are good. Less than two months ago, we highlighted a deal on the MSI X870 Gaming Plus Wi-Fi when it dropped to $210. Now, you're getting it essentially for free.
The cooler is the component we have the most testing experience with. We knocked down the Corsair iCue Link H150i (the 360mm version) a bit in our review due to its insanely high price. Here, however, that isn't a factor.
The H150i is a bit behind comparable 240mm coolers, but not by much. The H115i included in this bundle is a 280mm cooler, which is more than enough for all but the most power-hungry chips on the market; and those, at the moment, mostly live in Intel's camp with Raptor Lake and Raptor Lake Refresh flagships.
The motherboard features AMD's X870 chipset, which isn't technically its flagship offering. X870E boards offer a few extra bells and whistles, but the MSI X870 Gaming Plus Wi-Fi is still packed with features. It sports a 14+2+1 VRM design, memory speeds up to 8,200MT/s, Wi-Fi 7, 5-Gigabit LAN, and MSI's EZ DIY clips, allowing you to install your M.2 drives without a screwdriver.
It also includes PCIe 5.0 on the top x16 slot and the top M.2 slot. Those two slots don't share any PCIe lanes, so you can get the full speed of PCIe 5.0 on both your storage and GPU.
Thankfully, the DDR5 kit isn't bad here, either. It's a DDR5-6400 CL36 kit. We normally point buyers toward DDR5-6000 kits as the "sweet spot" of memory speeds, but the slightly lower CAS latency on this kit means it comes out with less latency than your standard DDR5-6000 CL38 kit. Plus, there's RGB.
You can pick up this bundle at Newegg now.
