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 $489.99 when bought separately. The good news is that the massive discount brings this RAM down to $230. This black kit matches the MSI X870E Carbon board 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 MSI board and offer plenty of overclocking headroom.
Save $260 on this premium combo from Newegg that pairs the multi-tasking Ryzen 9 9950X3D, 32GB (2x16GB) of Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 RAM, and a quality motherboard in MSI's X870E Carbon Wifi. The 'egg also throws in a free Cooler Master 240mm AIO, and AMD game bundle to sweeten the deal.
Next is the Ryzen 9 9950X3D processor. Before the X3D2 came out, this was the flagship X3D SKU and offered not only a lot of cores and threads (16c/32t) but also X3D cache (128MB) on one of the CCDs, which is great for gaming. Clock speeds start at 4.3 GHz, with turbo boosting a couple of cores up to 5.7 GHz. Between the clock speeds, core count, and extra cache, this processor is not only a great gaming CPU, but also awesome for any type of PC work that needs a lot of cores and threads, like video editing, 3D rendering, and even running VMs.

Last but certainly not least is the MSI X870E Carbon Wifi motherboard (one we reviewed in the past. We loved the robust power delivery (perfect for the 9950X3D), the dual Ethernet ports, EZ features, storage options (4x SATA, 4x M.2 sockets – one PCie 5.0) and ample connectivity on the rear I/O, including four USB Type-C ports (2x 40 Gbps). The all-black motherboard sports a cool RGB design element of the MSI dragon on the VRM heatsink to break up the monotony and offers some bling to the inside of your chassis.
In the end, we like this combo as it takes some of the pain out of buying a PC today. Priced at $1,345.99 and at a significant savings of $259.99 (16% off) with a free 240mm Cooler Master Elite AIO ($79.99 value) and AMD Game Bundle ($69.99 value), it will be tough to find a better deal out there for this wicked gaming (and productivity!) bundle.
