If you’re someone who’s been trying to update their PC and move into AMD’s latest and greatest platform, AM5, we found a great deal in this 2-item combo from Newegg. Just $514.99 gets you a solid mid-range class motherboard, the Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite WIfi 7 Ice, and the star of the combo, 32GB (2x16GB) of Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 (also in white). With a normal price of $439.99 if bought alone, the $184.99 combo savings essentially puts the RAM at a mere $255, an incredible deal in today’s market.Starting with the motherboard, the X870 Aorus Elite Wifi 7 Ice is a solid mid-range motherboard and a great centerpiece for building your new AM5 gaming PC. The Icy-white appearance stands out from the sea of black boards and is sure to look great inside a white or silver chassis. For those who would like integrated RGBs on their board, there is a small strip under the chipset heatsink that gives off a subtle glow. Or if you don’t want them on, simply turn them off. Either way, it’s a good-looking motherboard.

The X870 Elite Wi-Fi 7 Ice motherboard supports the latest AMD processors, including the flagship Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 dual-CCD 3D V-cache-equipped CPU, or, if you’re ‘just gaming’, pairs nicely with the single-CCD 3D V-cache Ryzen 9 9850X3D for a lot less. Either way, it’s capable of handling any compatible processor, including AMD's next-gen Zen6, without concern. While this isn’t an ‘X3D’ board by name, Gigabyte's latest BIOS lets you use the ‘X3D’ overclocking feature so that you can get every MHz out of your CPU with ease.
