Ryzen 7 9800X3D PC Bundle Cuts $238 From CPU, Motherboard and DDR5 Cost
Newegg’s $1,029.99 bundle pairs AMD’s 9800X3D with 32GB of DDR5 and a Gigabyte X870E board, plus a free cooler and game.
A $1,029.99 Newegg bundle covers three major parts of a gaming PC: AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 32GB of DDR5 memory and Gigabyte’s X870E Aorus Elite WiFi 7 Ice motherboard. The listed separate price for those components is $1,268.98, making the bundle discount $238.99. A Cooler Master Elite Liquid Cooler 240 CPU cooler and a copy of Onimusha: Way of the Sword are also included at no extra charge, with stated values of $79.99 and $69.99.
View the Newegg combo deal. The bundle supplies the processor, motherboard, memory and a CPU cooler, but it doesn’t include a graphics card, storage, case or power supply. Those remaining costs matter to anyone planning a complete system: the advertised price is a starting point for a build, not the price of a ready-to-play 4K gaming PC.
The processor is the main attraction
The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is an eight-core Zen 5 processor with a 4.7 GHz standard clock and boost speeds up to 5.2 GHz. Its defining feature is AMD’s 3D V-Cache, which brings total L3 cache to 96MB. The larger cache can let games access frequently needed data without relying as often on system memory, which is slower for that task.
That design is aimed at gaming performance. The source’s linked CPU benchmark data describes the 9800X3D as one of the fastest gaming processors available and reports higher, steadier frame rates than non-X3D competitors. Results depend on the game, graphics card and system settings, so the CPU’s position in a benchmark doesn’t guarantee a particular frame rate in every setup. For a build centered on gaming, though, the extra cache is the clearest reason to choose this chip.

A motherboard with room to expand
The Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite WiFi 7 Ice uses AMD’s AM5 platform, which the 9800X3D requires. “Ice” refers to the board’s white color scheme, a visual match for the included white G.Skill memory. Its connectivity is a more practical consideration: the rear panel has 12 USB ports, including two USB-C ports rated for up to 40 Gbps.
For storage, the board has four M.2 sockets. With the 9800X3D installed, three support PCIe 5.0 drives over four lanes each, while the remaining socket supports PCIe 4.0. Networking includes 2.5G Ethernet and Wi-Fi 7. Four memory slots support up to 256GB of DDR5 at speeds up to 8,200 MT/s, according to the source. Those expansion options give the board room for additional storage or memory later, although the bundle itself includes only 32GB of RAM.
What the included memory and extras add
The memory kit is G.Skill Trident Z5 NeoX RGB DDR5-6000, supplied as two 16GB modules. Its listed timings are 36-36-36-76, and its RGB lighting can be configured. The 6,000 MT/s speed is the specified kit speed; getting the rated speed may depend on enabling the relevant memory profile in system setup.
The included Cooler Master 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler covers CPU cooling, and the bundled game adds another item to the package. Together, their stated values bring the claimed savings to $388.97 when counted alongside the $238.99 discount on the three core components. Those values are the source’s comparison figures; a buyer should weigh the items they actually need when assessing the offer.
The value of the bundle depends on how closely its parts match the rest of a planned build. The X870E board offers high-speed storage connections and current networking features, while the 9800X3D makes the package particularly relevant to gaming systems where CPU performance matters. Builders who already own a compatible AM5 board, memory or cooler will get less from a bundle that includes those parts.
Plan around the graphics card
Despite the 4K framing, no graphics card is included, and the source doesn’t specify a GPU or report system-level 4K test results for this bundle. A graphics card that can run the games and settings a buyer wants remains a major purchase, alongside storage, a case and a power supply. The $1,029.99 price gets a system’s core CPU platform in place; it doesn’t establish what the finished computer will cost or how it will perform at 4K.
Newegg combo prices can change, and the source gives no end date for this offer. For builders who need all three main components, the discount and included cooler make the package worth comparing against separate prices. The key next step is to budget for the GPU and remaining parts, then judge the full build cost against the performance target.
