This incredible deal at Newegg right now brings together the 9850X3D with the RX 9070 XT, a potent duo for a 4K-ready gaming PC and one that'll save you nearly $200 in total.
The RX 9070 XT needs no introduction; it sits at the very top of our best GPUs roundup because it's a great GPU for 1440p and even 4K gaming. In traditional raster, it pretty much matches the RTX 5070 Ti across all resolutions, and is only about 10% slower when it comes to ray-traced workloads. Nvidia does have a richer driver suite with things like DLSS 4.5 (and the dreaded DLSS 5 on the way) and RTX HDR, but AMD's FSR 4 isn't far behind anymore .
The RX 9070 XT has an MSRP of $600, which it rarely sits at. You're getting an ASRock Challenger variant in this bundle that costs $700 on its own right now. Like every other RX 9070 XT, this one has 64x RDNA 4-based Compute Units with 16GB of GDDR6 memory saturated across a 256-bit wide bus to deliver a 640 GB/s bandwidth. So, if you take into account the $200 in savings, you're essentially getting this card for just $500!

The chip is clocked at 4.7 GHz but can boost up to 5.6 GHz thanks to the 3D V-Cache being stacked underneath the CCDs on Zen 5. The 9850X3D is the best performing processor we've ever tested in gaming , faster than even the recently launched 9950X3D2.
It retails for $500, but can be found for a little less across retailers — Newegg has it for $475 at the moment. If you actually track the price for both the CPU and GPU on PCPartPicker, the lowest price for either totals out to $1,060, which means paying just $978.98 on Newegg is still saving you money, technically making this an all-time low. So, go grab this deal before stock runs out and resume your PC building ambitions during the AI boom!
