The star of the show has to be the newly released Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 16c/32t processor with the 3D cache on both CCDs. Our review noted it’s around 4% faster in multi-threaded performance than the 9950X3D and delivers double-digit improvements in specialized workloads. It did use more power in turn. For the overclocker in you, it also has an unlocked multiplier and pairs nicely with the Crosshair X870E Apex, which is also designed for pushing the limits.
Get a great deal this premium Newegg combo that includes one of the fastest processors available in the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2, 32GB of Corsair Vengeance RGB RAM, ROG Crosshair X870E Apex motherboard, and 2TB Western Digital SN7100 M.2 SSD for $2,048.99.
(Image credit: Future) (Image credit: Future) (Image credit: Future) Speaking of, the Asus ROG Crosshair X870E Apex is an incredible all-around motherboard. It looks the part of a premium motherboard and is proud to be the focal point of your new AM5 build, but it has the chops to push any processor to the limit. The 2-DIMM configuration supports higher memory speeds (up to DDR5-9600 MT/s), though it limits total capacity to 128GB (which most people have no problem fitting). Specs-wise, you get five M.2 sockets (two PCIe 5.0) and four SATA ports, a flagship-class audio solution with integrated amplifier, fast networking with Wi-Fi 7 and 5 GbE, and plenty of connectivity on the rear IO (dual USB4 Type-C ports along with seven Type-A), and a robust power solution to easily power the 9950X3D2 when overclocked. Your only limit with this monster will be cooling.
Next, Corsair’s Vengeance 32GB (2x16GB) DRR5-6400 CL36 RAM kit is currently available on Newegg for nearly $470 when bought separately. This black kit matches the Apex motherboard and sports a frosted RGB light bar that runs the length of the sticks, drawing attention inside your case. Or, if RGB lighting isn’t your thing and you prefer a stealthy appearance, you can also disable it. The DDR5-6400 speed lands on the faster side of AMD’s sweet spot and is a worthwhile, good-looking option. The SK Hynix ICs under the heatsink pair nicely with the board and offer plenty of overclocking headroom, especially with the Apex’s built-in memory profiles and AI overclocking support. The last item in the combo is a 2TB Western Digital Black SN7100 PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 SSD. We reviewed this middle-class SSD and liked its efficiency, and it excelled at random read performance, making it a great complement to the other parts in the combo. Specs-wise, the drive tops out at 7,250 MBps for reads and 6,900 MBps for writes, with up to 1M and 1.4M IOPS (reads/writes, respectively). It also has a long life expectancy with 1,200 TBW and 1.75M hours MTBF. When bought separately, you’re looking at a painful $349.99.
(Image credit: Future) (Image credit: Future) (Image credit: Future) If we apply the $398.98 discount to the RAM and storage, you get both for a reasonable-for-the-times $406. Put all the bits together, and for $2,048 , you’ll walk away with one of the fastest AM5 systems around that’s good for not only gaming, but productivity, and really, anything else you can throw at it. Jump on this awesome combo deal now before it sells out!
