If you’re looking to start your next gaming PC project, then maybe you’ve considered picking up a bundle to save you more money than you might if you were buying the components individually. It’s a tried and tested method – and now a collection of new combo bundles featuring 13th and 14th gen Intel CPUs have appeared at Microcenter starting at just $250.

As spotted by WCCFTECH, you can choose between the following three bundles:

• Intel Core i9-12900K CPU with ASUS Z790-P Prime WiFi DDR5 motherboard and G.Skill Ripjaws 32GB DDR5 RAM kit – $399.99
• Intel Core i7-12700K CPU with MSI Z790A Pro Wifi DDR4 motherboard and G.Skill Ripjaws 16GB DDR4 RAM kit – $329.99
• Intel Core i5-12600KF CPU with MSI Z790-P Pro WiFi DDR4 motherboard and G.Skill Ripjaws 16GB DDR4 RAM kit – $249.99

So for your money you get a great 13th or 14th gen Intel CPU, a top of the range gaming motherboard and a RAM kit to get you going, leaving you just needing some storage, a graphics card, a case and an operating system to complete the setup. While of course the DDR5 RAM bundle will likely give the best performance, the DD4 ones are no slouch either.

Each bundle gives you a fantastic head-start to your next gaming PC build, with almost $245 in savings on the Intel Core i9 versus buying them separately, $143 savings on the second bundle and $153 back in your pocket on the cheapest of the three bundles. All three bundles are already cheaper than the RRP of a PS5, although of course you’d still need a great GPU and hard drive.

If these don’t take your fancy though, here’s some Amazon alternatives you could consider instead.
