AMD Ryzen 9 9900X with MSI MAG X870E Tomahawk WiFi ATX Motherboard
What we like about this AMD Ryzen 9 9900X with MSI MAG X870E Tomahawk bundle
We reviewed the Ryzen 9 9900X and, on the whole, were impressed by its performance, despite being a little held back in some areas. It’s a top the line CPU that’s great for both gaming and productivity tasks like video-editing or handling complex data sets, but also comes in at a fairly reasonable price-point. It’s build on the AM5 socket, which gives you access to DDR5 RAM and with the right motherboard, Gen5 NVMe SSDs. On top of that, it’s also notably very efficient, making for a smart-choice for most builds.
We’ve also reviewed the MSI MAG X870E, and were seriously impressed with its build quality, value for money, connectivity, and features that allowed for easy installation. This is a motherboard that gives you everything you could need for AM5, without the huge price-tag. Thankfully, it also doesn’t scale back on PCIe 5.0 connectivity when it comes to the M.2 slots, as some more affordable AM5 motherboard can do.
- Core CPU specs: 12 cores, 24 threads, 5.6GHz boost clock, 64MB L3 Cache, and 120W TDP.
- Versatile pick: This CPU is a good call for both gaming and productivity, and ideal for hybrid use PCs.
- Core motherboard specs: ATX Form Factor, Dual-channel DDR5 support up to 256GB, 2x PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 Slot, 2x PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 Slot, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, 4x SATA 6GB/s, 2x USB 40Gbps Type C
- Great upgrade path: This motherboard has everything you need to handle even more powerful AMD CPUs, the latest Gen5 NVMe SSDs, and DDR5 RAM. It’s also a great foundation to house some of the best GPUs on the market too.
- E-Z features: Installing components is super straight-forward, making this a great motherboard for both seasoned and new PC builders.
Who’s this deal for?
For the new price, this combo deal is a real winner for anyone looking to kick off a powerful, versatile gaming build that also allows for a future upgrades without a motherboard swap. Since this combo is more on the mid to upper-end in terms of performance, we’d recommend checking out some of the best GPUs for the Ryzen 9 9900X to make sure you’re making the most out of it.
If you’re looking for alternatives for less, I’d recommend checking out this Ryzen 7 7700X Micro Center bundle that’s currently live right now.
