Fresh off the launch of AMD's first CPU with dual 3D V-cache, the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2, is a Newegg combo deal that you won't want to miss. This deal brings the 9950X3D2 together with an Asus TUF Gaming X870E-Plus motherboard, 32GB of fast DDR5 RAM from Corsair, and a 2TB WD Black SN7100 SSD, and all for a discounted $1,729.99 right now.
That's a huge $441.98 saving compared to buying each product separately and, when you price them up, means you're getting the RAM for the equivalent cost of just $28.01. This kit brings together some of the most expensive components for a new gaming rig, leaving you to put that $441.98 towards other parts like a brand-new GPU.
Save 20% on this combined Newegg PC hardware kit, scoring you AMD's first dual-X3D chip in the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2, along with an Asus TUF Gaming X870E-Plus WiFi7 motherboard, 32GB (2x16GB) of Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6400 RAM, and a 2TB WD Black SN7100 SSD.
Let's look at that powerhouse processor first. As our 9950X3D2 review makes clearly, this is not a CPU for normal gamers. This is, in every way, a niche product that pushes the limits of AMD's 3D V-cache technology as it stands today. It's the first AMD X3D chip to offer that boosted L3 cache capacity across both CCDs, and it's now dethroned the 9950X3D as the fastest CPU for gaming, even if the margins are thin.
This CPU features 16 cores and 32 threads, with a 5.6 GHz boost clock and a 200W TDP, along with double the L3 cache at 192MB. Those power demands are 30W higher than the 9950X3D, and 70W more than the 9800X3D, which is still the best CPU for most gamers in our opinion. Our CPU benchmarks spell it out clearly: there isn't anything better, but don't expect epoch-changing results. It matches the 9800X3D's performance in-game, while multithreaded performance sits about 4% higher than the 9950X3D. If you want the absolute best all-rounder, the 9950X3D2 is it.

Fitted with the 9950X3D2 is an Asus TUF Gaming X870E-Plus WiFi 7 motherboard, aimed at enthusiasts with a whole host of features fit for gaming. This AM5 board comes with a total of 13 USBs at the rear, including two USB-C ports rated for 40 Gbps. Four M.2 sockets are included for a whole stack of SSDs, with two rated for PCIe 5.0 over four lanes with the 9800X3D installed. It also has fast networking support built in, with 2.5G and Wi-Fi 7 support included, as well as the ability to install a whopping 256GB of DDR5 RAM over four DIMM slots, with speeds of up to 8,200 MT/s.
You aren't quite getting 256GB of DDR5 RAM with this kit, but 32GB of Corsair Vengeance RGB RAM. This Corsair kit includes two 16GB modules, rated at 6,400 MT/s with CL36 latency. This black dual-channel RAM features RGB lighting at the top, which you can set up and customize using the Corsair iCue app. This is fast RAM and, for a new rig, will more than handle the demands of modern gaming.
You're also getting a 2TB WD Black SN7100 NVMe M.2 SSD thrown in, too. As our SN7100 review shows, this WD Black SN7100 is a power-efficient drive with PCIe 4.0 speeds, with up to 7,250 MB/s sequential read and 6,900 MB/s sequential write performance. That's only a touch slower than the best SSD offering Gen 4 speeds, the Samsung 990 Pro, with caps at 7,450 and 6,900 MB/s apiece. The cost of both SSDs and RAM has exploded in recent months, thanks to the huge demand pressures caused by AI, so buying this SSD alone would cost you $499.99 right now.
The RAM, too, would set you back handsomely: $469.99 for a 32GB kit, not to mention the $899 launch price for the 9950X3D2, as well as $302.99 for this top-spec Asus motherboard. That makes the $1,729.99 sale price for this Newegg combo a serious option if you're planning a new build or upgrade with the 9950X3D2. If you're interested, make sure to grab it with the $441.98 discount offered here before the bundle sells out, as Newegg can pull them without notice.

Bigshrimp No thanks. They can throw all the freebies in that they want and I wouldn't buy that CPU. Better to just get a 9800X3D… Reply
