First is one of the most popular and fastest current-generation CPUs for gaming: the Ryzen 7 9800X3D . This 8-core/16-thread Zen5-based processor has a base clock of 4.6 GHz and a max boost of 5.2 GHz, which is plenty of speed for any task. The X3D variant's 96MB of L3 cache helps with gaming (among other things), making it one of the fastest gaming CPUs available . It is also a well-rounded performer that excels in games and suits most applications. This combo also includes a free Rosewill FrostMax 240mm AIO with digital display (a $70 value), which easily handles the 120W processor. The RAM portion of the bundle, Corsair’s Vengeance RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000 CL36 RAM kit, is currently available on Newegg for a wallet-emptying $499.99 (the price keeps going up) when bought separately. The good news is that the discount brings this RAM down to $351. This black kit matches the Asus TUF Gaming X870E-Plus Wifi board in this combo and features a frosted RGB light bar that runs the length of the sticks. If RGB lighting isn’t your thing and you prefer a stealthy, unassuming look, you can turn it off. The DDR5-6000 speed lands in the sweet spot for the AM5 platform 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.
Save big on this 3-item combo from Newegg and get snag 32GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 RAM for less. You get the awesome Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, a quality Asus X870E TUF Gaming motherboard, and Newegg even throws in a free 240mm AIO and AMD gam bundle ($140 value)

Last, the Asus TUF Gaming X870E-Plus Wifi 7 is a solid all-around motherboard for the AM5 platform. It delivers sufficient power to support flagship-class processors and easily handles the 9800X3D in the combo, even with some overclocking. It comes with four M.2 sockets (one PCIe 5.0), two SATA ports for storage, fast networking with integrated Wi-Fi 7 and 2,5 GbE, ample USB ports on the rear IO (13, including two USB4 40 Gbps Type-C), and a quality audio solution based on the last-gen Realtek flagship (ALC1220P). Asus’ AI solutions (AI Cache Boost, Overclocking, Cooling II, and Networking II) and the DIY-friendly design make it easy to build and get the most out of your system.
Newegg used to offer several Combo deals with RAM. Still, over the past few weeks, as stock continues to dwindle, we’ve seen them whittle down to only a couple that are worthwhile, so when you see something like this and are ready to pull the trigger, do it, as you never know how long it will last. If you’re in the market to buy a new AM5-based system, this 3-item $1,050 combo from Newegg , sporting 32GB of RAM, the venerable Ryzen 5 9800X3D, and a quality motherboard (don’t forget the free 240mm AIO and AMD game bundle!), is currently one of the least expensive ways into the platform.
