Get RAM cheap, or even as a free gift, with these Newegg Black Friday component bundles — retailer entices PC builders with RAM-focused savings, despite eye-watering memory prices

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.

While putting together multiple PC parts and packaging them with a discount is nothing new, doing so at a time when RAM now routinely costs more than the CPU in your average PC build is a great way to give PC builders a helping hand this Black Friday. We've tracked down some great bundles that will get you cheaper or possibly even free RAM for your PC build. As you can see below, some products from Newegg currently include a free gift offer of Team Group 16GB DDR5 RAM.

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.

Black Friday PC hardware bundles

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.
