Check out this deal on Newegg

In essence, this combo deal means you’re paying just $12 for 16GB of DDR5 RAM. And while it is a single stick of RAM in this deal, if you buy another at the $204.99 retail price, you can step up to 32GB and dual-channel for only $217. Considering the least expensive 32GB DDR5-6000 kit on Newegg is $395 right now, this is an incredible way to get into the AM5 platform and that 32GB-of-RAM sweet spot on the cheap.

While the 7700X3D isn’t quite as fast as the 9800X3D, the 8-core 16-thread Zen 4 processor is still one of the top gaming chips and is well ahead of the recently re-released (and expensive, $349.99 at Newegg) Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Performance-wise, the 7700X3D is squarely between the faster 7800X3D and slower 7600X3D, and it clearly holds its own among its peers and is a great 1080p/1440p gaming chip.
