That's a saving of $148 on the list price of these components at Newegg, but crucially, it's also more than $100 less than buying these parts separately at various retailers at their cheapest overall prices. As such, bundling these components will save you more than $100 on your gaming PC.
The star of this bundle is undoubtedly the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D. Despite not quite being the fastest gaming CPU on the market, this behemoth retains its crown as the best CPU for gaming in 2026 thanks to its blistering overall performance and more modest power draw compared to the 9850X3D. This 8-core, 16-thread processor is clocked at 4.7 GHz, with boost clocks of up to 5.2 GHz. With its coveted 3D v-cache and 96MB of LR capacity, this processor ensures much higher frame rates compared to non-X3D models, as you can see in our gaming benchmarks below.
