Combat insane price rises with this Newegg 9800X3D, RAM, and X870 motherboard bundle — save $269.99 over buying the parts individually

Newegg has bundled an Asus TUF Gaming Plus X870 WiFi motherboard with an AMD Ryzen 7 9800 X3D processor and Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 RAM for $938.99. This combo deal saves you a tidy $269.99 over purchasing all of these components separately. The Corsair RAM alone is now $439.99, thanks to the ongoing memory production shortages caused by AI. As an added bonus, you also get a Corsair M75 wireless mouse worth $69.99 chucked in for free.

Corsair’s Vengeance 32GB DDR5-6000 kit comes with two matched 16GB sticks. These CL36 RAM sticks have a CAS latency of 36 and timings of 36-44-44-96, with a 1.40 voltage. The 6000MT/s speed is the sweet spot for AM5 CPUs, especially the 9800X3D, and helps to keep that 1:1 performance ratio.

Also paired up in this combo is Asus’ TUF Gaming Plus X870 WiFi motherboard. It supports two onboard PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots and two PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots. For network connectivity, there’s the latest Wi-Fi 7, 2.5Gb Ethernet, and dual USB4 (40Gbps) Type-C ports, plus a front USB 20Gbps Type-C with (PD) power delivery and fast charge support.

Then there’s, of course, AMD’s gaming king – the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, which uses AMD’s successful 3D V-cache technology, providing the 9800X3D with its pure gaming prowess. The large cache boosts performance, and along with some other design changes to the CPU, such as moving the cache chiplet underneath the die to alleviate the thermal insulation of previous designs, the compute die is now closer to the thermal interface material (IHS). With this increased thermal headroom comes 500 MHz higher base clocks and 200 MHz higher boosts than the previous-gen Zen 4-powered Ryzen 7 7800X3D. The perfect CPU for a high-end gaming system looking to push high frame rates in esports games such as Marvel Rivals, Valorant, and Counter-Strike 2.

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D gaming CPU featured in this combo deal is built around the Zen 5 X3D architecture. It features eight cores, providing a total of 16 threads, with a base speed of 4.7 GHz. When boosted, it can reach frequencies as high as 5.2 GHz. Most importantly, it comes with a massive 96MB of game-boosting L3 Cache. In our testing, the 9800X3D topped the charts with 1080p-Ultra game settings. Dethroning the previous champion – AMD’s 7800X3D.
