B&H is getting in on the bundle action. We've seen a big uptick in bundle deals over the last several months, as it's becoming the ideal way to build a PC during the RAMpocalypse. The retailer is offering around 80 bundles at the time of writing, some much better than others. We've found a handful of options on DDR5 platforms that get the memory down to around $250.

Typically, with a bundle deal, you'll get a small discount on a bundle of components available at MSRP — maybe $20 to $30 for a small bundle, or upwards of $50 or $100 for a large one. These bundles are a bit different. RAM pricing is a major factor in building a new PC, so we're evaluating the bundles at B&H in a slightly different way.B&H doesn't list the prices of individual components in a bundle, so we've shopped around to find the going price on each of the components individually, and then evaluated the RAM pricing in that context. We'll walk through what we found as we cover the bundles below.
First up is a bundle including the fastest CPU for gaming currently on the market, AMD's Ryzen 7 9850X3D. B&H has the CPU paired with the Asus ProArt X870E-Creator motherboard and 32GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 memory. If you bought the components on their own with current sales prices, you'd spend about $1,415 (just slightly off the $1,409.99 MSRP B&H quotes). With the bundle, you get everything for $1,259.99.
