Many are finding it difficult to build a gaming PC since RAM prices are insanely high, but Micro Center has come to the rescue.
Micro Center Starts Offering CPU Bundles, Featuring CPU, RAM, and Motherboard Combo, Starting at $349
AMD's fastest gaming processor launched two days ago, but its price isn't the main concern for most buyers. While the CPU is still somewhat expensive at $499, the total cost increases significantly when you add a DDR5 RAM kit. These days, a 32 GB DDR5 RAM kit costs nearly $400, and that brings the CPU+RAM cost to around $900 alone. However, if you can visit your local Micro Center store, you could get this for as low as $699 along with a decent X870 chipset motherboard.
Micro Center has notified us that it's selling the AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D + ASUS X870-P Prime WiFi + Crucial Pro 32 GB DDR5-6000 kit for $699, which is an incredible deal given the current market situation. This will easily cost you nearly $1100 or more if you purchase every component separately. With RAM, Processor, and Motherboard secured for a fair price, it will be easier for you to invest in a better GPU, CPU cooler, case, and storage drive.
That said, if you are looking for something more cost-effective, Micro Center is currently hosting plenty of combo deals. The cheapest combo starts at $349, bringing the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X + ASUS B650E Max Gaming + G.Skill 16 GB DDR5 memory bundle. If you want a faster configuration, you can get the Ryzen 5 7600X3D + MSI B850 Gaming Pro + G.Skill Flare X5 16 GB DDR5 for $429.
There are currently dozens of such combo deals live on the website, including both Intel and AMD platforms paired with a DDR5 memory kit, saving both your money and time to search for a fairly priced kit. If you want the best possible gaming configuration, there are two Ryzen 9 9950X3D bundles, offering powerful X870E motherboards and 32 GB DDR5 memory kits for $1049 and $1199, respectively.
