Newegg is selling an AM5 parts bundle built around AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D for $1,039.99, according to the retailer’s combo listing cited by Tom’s Hardware. For PC builders, the useful bit is that the deal groups the expensive core of a gaming desktop: processor, motherboard, memory and cooler.
Tom’s Hardware says the combo is $148 below Newegg’s list price for the same components and more than $100 cheaper than buying the parts separately at the lowest prices it found across retailers. The publication also says a separate-parts total would come to $1,187, including a $39 price for the cooler and a $30 discount on the memory.
The bundle includes:
- AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU
- Gigabyte B850 Aorus Elite Wi-Fi 7 Ice motherboard
- 32GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 memory
- Cooler Master Elite Liquid 240 all-in-one liquid CPU cooler
The CPU is the anchor. Tom’s Hardware describes the Ryzen 7 9800X3D as its top gaming CPU pick for 2026, while also saying it is not the fastest gaming chip outright. The part has 8 cores and 16 threads, a 4.7GHz base clock and boost clocks up to 5.2GHz, according to the specs cited by the publication.
The reason X3D parts tend to show up in gaming build recommendations is AMD’s stacked cache. The extra 3D V-cache gives the processor more fast local storage for data the game engine keeps asking for, which can lift frame rates versus otherwise similar non-X3D chips. Tom’s Hardware points to its own gaming benchmarks for that performance claim and lists the chip with 96MB of cache.
The motherboard is Gigabyte’s B850 Aorus Elite Wi-Fi 7 Ice, a white AM5 board. Tom’s Hardware says it supports up to four DDR5-8200 DIMMs and as much as 256GB of RAM. Storage expansion includes one M.2 PCIe 5.0 slot and two PCIe 4.0 slots. Networking and audio include Wi-Fi 7, 2.5Gbps LAN and 7.1 audio. The board also has USB 3.1 and USB-C ports, 14+2+2 power stages, and Gigabyte’s EZ-Latch tools for M.2 and PCIe parts.
The memory is a 32GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 kit. Tom’s Hardware calls DDR5-6000 the AM5 gaming sweet spot and says high RAM prices are part of what makes the bundle discount relevant. The Cooler Master Elite Liquid 240 is described as a free gift in the combo, with a dual-chamber pump and AM5 support.
There is one pricing wrinkle worth treating carefully. Tom’s Hardware says Newegg also has an equivalent bundle with the black version of the motherboard, describing it as $10 more while also giving the price as $1,409. Those two numbers do not agree, so buyers should check Newegg’s live listing before assuming the black-board option is only slightly pricier.
Tom’s Hardware frames the bundle as a starting point for a 1440p or 4K gaming PC when paired with a suitable graphics card. That last part is doing real work: this is a CPU, board, RAM and cooler package, not a full gaming system.
