Amazon Prime Day might be over, but this does not mean you can’t find great deals on PC components anymore. Micro Center occasionally introduces new bundles on their site, and each one offers a collective discount on a number of components.

Motherboard: ASUS Z790 Gaming WiFi7
The ASUS Z790 Gaming WiFi7 is a stunning motherboard offering a black-and-white theme. Its overall design is pretty clean and can help improve the look of your build. When it comes to specifications, it boasts the LGA 1700 socket, making it compatible with Intel 14th, 13th, and 12th gen processors.
Aside from that, there are four DDR5 RAM slots on the board, which support a maximum speed of 7200 MHz (OC) and a max capacity of 192GB. There’s also one PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and three PCIe 4.0 x16 slots paired with a single PCIe x1 slot. For SSDs, you can utilize the three M.2 slots on the board, but traditional SSDs can also be connected using the SATA 6Gb/s ports. On the back of the board, you’ll find eight USB ports, one HDMI port, one WiFi module, three audio jacks, one PS/2 Keyboard/Mouse combo port, and a 1GB Ethernet Port.
RAM: 32GB DDR5
The more memory you have, the better the performance of your system will be. And to make sure games and productivity software run smoothly on your system, Micro Center has included 32GB of RAM in the bundle. This DDR5 RAM can reach a max speed of 6000 MHz, and you’ll find two 16GB sticks in the kit. While you’ll be more than fine for gaming, you can always upgrade later if needed.
How much will you save?
At the time of writing, the three listed components will cost you $639.97 if you purchase them individually. However, the bundle nets them for only $549.99. This means that you’ll save just shy of $90. If any additional parts are left, you can invest the money you save in those components.
For instance, Intel CPUs tend to run hot, so getting one of the best CPU coolers for the i7-14700K can help keep the temps low. Similarly, make sure you’re using one of the best power supplies for gaming to keep your components safe. We also recommend checking out our top picks for the best GPU for the 14700K so you can pair it with the right graphics card.
In case you want a pre-built PC and not individual components, then you can check out the PowerSpec X607 gaming PC from Micro Center, which includes the 7800X3D CPU and RTX 4080 Super and can help you save $600.
