We have yet another combo deal that could help you save a significant amount on your next PC build. Newegg is currently offering the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X processor bundled with a compatible B850 motherboard and a 1TB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD for just $429.99. The cost of all the parts when purchased separately comes down to $679.97, meaning this bundle saves you $249.98, which is a discount of 36% and equates to getting the SSD for free.

The Gigabyte B850 Aorus Elite Wi-Fi7 Ice is feature packed motherboard with a white finish, making it suitable if you prefer an all-white build. It supports DDR5 memory with overclocking support of up to 8200 MT/s. It also supports various DIY-friendly features such as a tool-less heatsink cover for the M.2 drives, a quick-release button for the GPU, and a simple solution to plug the Wi-Fi antenna. It also comes with the X3D Turbo Mode, a BIOS-level feature that offers optimization for Ryzen 9000 X3D and non-X3D processors to gain a slight boost in gaming performance. Other notable features include PCIe Gen 5 support, 14+2+2 twin digital VRM design, three M.2 SSD slots, Wi-Fi 7, 2.5 gigabit Ethernet, and an array of USB ports.


The Ryzen 5 9600X is a value-for-money Zen 5 processor based on AMD’s AM5 platform. It features 6 cores and 12 threads with a boost clock speed of 5.4 GHz. It also comes with a low TDP of 65W, which makes it power efficient, allowing it to run relatively cooler. It offers excellent performance for the asking price and holds a solid place in our 13-game FPS performance geomean.
