Newegg is selling a bundle that covers the core of a 4K gaming PC for $1,029.99, as of October 22, 2026. It pairs the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor with 32GB of DDR5 memory and a Gigabyte X870E motherboard. The listing comes at a time when prices for PC hardware, including RAM, SSDs and new graphics cards, have climbed sharply over the past year.

Buying the three parts together saves $238.99 compared with purchasing them separately. The bundle also includes a Cooler Master Elite Liquid Cooler 240 all-in-one CPU cooler, valued at $79.99, and a copy of Onimusha: Way of the Sword, valued at $69.99. Counting those extras, the total savings come to $388.97, which buyers could put toward a graphics card, case or peripherals.

The processor is the centerpiece. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D remains one of the fastest gaming CPUs available, according to Tom's Hardware, which cites its own benchmark data. AMD's X3D chips use extra 3D V-Cache, lifting total L3 cache to 96MB. A larger cache means the system has to fall back on slower system memory less often, which helps gaming performance.

The chip is based on the Zen 5 architecture and has eight cores, all of which can use the full 96MB of cache. Its base clock is 4.7 GHz, with a boost of up to 5.2 GHz. Benchmarks show gamers getting higher and steadier frame rates than they would from rival processors without X3D technology.

The processor requires an AM5 motherboard, and the bundle supplies the Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite WiFi 7 Ice. The "Ice" name refers to its all-white color scheme, and the board sits in Gigabyte's mid-range. The rear panel has 12 USB ports, including two USB-C ports rated at 40 Gbps.

Storage and networking are well covered. The board has four M.2 sockets, three of which run at PCIe 5.0 speeds over four lanes with the 9800X3D installed, plus one PCIe 4.0 slot. Connectivity includes 2.5G Ethernet and Wi-Fi 7. Its four DIMM slots can hold up to 256GB of DDR5 at speeds of up to 8,200 MT/s.

The memory in the bundle is far more modest than that ceiling. It is a 32GB kit of G.Skill Trident Z5 NeoX RGB DDR5-6000, made up of two 16GB modules in white to match the board. The timings are 36-36-36-76, and the RGB lighting is configurable. Tom's Hardware notes that very high RAM prices make a 256GB kit impractical at the moment.

Tom's Hardware, which published the deal, describes the package as the foundation for a 4K gaming build, provided buyers add a suitably powerful graphics card. It cautions that Newegg combo offers tend to come and go, and expects this one to sell out quickly.
