Deal | CPU, motherboard, RAM bundle with Ryzen 7 7700X3D and 16GB DDR5 RAM gets $200+ discount

If you are considering building a gaming PC and are looking to save as much money as possible, component bundle offers on Newegg and Micro Center are a great choice. In the current market where the cost of RAM is prohibitively expensive, these CPU, motherboard, and RAM combo deals can save you a good chunk of cash. 

Take, for example, the newly launched 8-core Ryzen 7 7700X3D CPU. As a standalone part, it costs $330. But, you can get the CPU alongside a Gigabyte B650E Eagle 6E motherboard and a single stick of 16 GB DDR5-6000 for just $481 with coupon code PKC337 on Newegg. The Gigabyte B650E motherboard costs $150, while a 16 GB stick of DDR5-6000 RAM costs over $200 on Amazon. Add in the $330 Ryzen 7 7700X3D and the total comes close to $700. So, you are getting a pretty fantastic deal with Newegg’s combo offer.

Moreover, since the Gigabyte B650E is an AM5 motherboard, you can simply slot in a Zen 5 Ryzen 9000 series CPU or a next-gen Zen 6 desktop part when they become available.

As far as the performance of the Ryzen 7 7700X3D is concerned, the 8-core Ryzen 7 7700X3D is just a lower-clocked Ryzen 7 7800X3D. Hardware Unboxed’s review, which is linked below, reveals that the Ryzen 7 7700X3D is 7% slower than the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and 15% slower than the Ryzen 7 9800X3D when playing games at 1080p/medium. All three Ryzen X3D CPUs perform much closer at higher resolutions and graphics settings like 1080p/ultra, as more load shifts to the GPU.

So, the Ryzen 7 7700X3D seems to be a pretty speedy gaming CPU. Pair the CPU with a QHD-capable GPU like the Radeon RX 9070 and a good QHD gaming monitor, and you will have a mid-range gaming setup that will stay revelant for years to come.
