Thanks to the ongoing component crisis caused by the AI boom, it's a particularly difficult time to build a gaming PC. Despite ample supply, most parts are overpriced, forcing consumers to resort to patience or finding deals. We've done the latter and found an enticing AM4 bundle on Newegg consisting of a Ryzen 7 5800X3D, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and a feature-rich B550 motherboard — all for just $529.99 right now. You'll be saving over $100 in this combo compared to buying these items separately.

The star of the show is the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, the CPU that kickstarted AMD's gaming dominance, as it was the first X3D chip the company ever made. Newegg is bundling the 10th Anniversary Edition here with a Carbide Ice Pad that you can use in place of thermal paste. The specs remain unchanged; it's an 8-core processor with 16 threads that can boost up to 4.5 GHz. It has a total cache of 100MB, 64MB of which is the extra L3 cache stacked atop the CCD, and a 105W TDP.Then there's the motherboard, which is an Asus TUF Gaming B550-Plus Wi-Fi II. As the name suggests, it's a full-sized (ATX) AM4 motherboard using the B550 chipset. It features a robust 8+2 phase VRM for power delivery. There are four DDR4 RAM slots onboard, along with two M.2 slots, including one PCIe 4.0-capable. The board has Wi-Fi 6, 2.5 Gbps Ethernet, USB 3.2 Type-A and Type-C, and more in terms of connectivity. You also get 2x ARGB headers.
