Newegg has come out with a new high-end AM5 bundle that pairs the venerable Ryzen 9 9950X3D processor, 32GB (2x16GB) Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 RAM, and a premium motherboard in MSI’s MPG X870E Carbon Wifi for only $1,345.99. You save $260 (16%), which, when you apply that beefy combo discount to the 32GB of RAM, makes it only $230, which is a solid deal for these expensive times.

The RAM portion of the bundle, Corsair’s Vengeance RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000 CL36 RAM kit, is currently available on Newegg for a wallet-emptying $489.99 when bought separately. The good news is that the massive discount brings this RAM down to $230. This black kit matches the MSI X870E Carbon board and features a frosted RGB light bar that runs the length of the sticks. If RGB lighting isn’t your thing and you prefer a stealthy, unassuming look, you can turn it off. The DDR5-6000 speed lands in the sweet spot for the AM5 platform and is a worthwhile, good-looking option. The SK Hynix ICs under the heatsink pair nicely with the MSI board and offer plenty of overclocking headroom.
Next is the Ryzen 9 9950X3D processor. Before the X3D2 came out, this was the flagship X3D SKU and offered not only a lot of cores and threads (16c/32t) but also X3D cache (128MB) on one of the CCDs, which is great for gaming. Clock speeds start at 4.3 GHz, with turbo boosting a couple of cores up to 5.7 GHz. Between the clock speeds, core count, and extra cache, this processor is not only a great gaming CPU, but also awesome for any type of PC work that needs a lot of cores and threads, like video editing, 3D rendering, and even running VMs.
