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.
