Table of Contents
Newegg frequently offers discounts on individual PC components, but they occasionally go a step further by bundling several parts together, allowing you to save even more money. This time, they've put together a special offer with three mid-range components in their 3-in-1 9700X bundle.
This type of bundle is great for those looking to upgrade or build a PC without breaking the bank, as it combines essential parts at a reduced price, and it even includes one of the brand-new X870 motherboards designed for the Ryzen 9000 series.
Newegg 3-in-1 9700X bundle
What does the Newegg 3-in-1 9700X bundle offer?
The 3-in-1 bundle includes three key components, and you can learn more about them below.
CPU: Ryzen 7 9700X
This bundle is great for those who are looking to get their hands on one of the latest processors, as it includes the Ryzen 7 9700X. This is a part of the AMD 9000 series lineup, which was launched a few months ago and is built on the newest Zen 5 architecture. When it comes to specs, it offers 8 cores, 16 threads, and an L3 cache of 32 MB. On top of that, it has a base frequency of 3.8 GHz paired with a max boost clock speed of 5.5 GHz.
We reviewed the Ryzen 7 9700X to put its performance to the test. Our team tested it in synthetic benchmarks, including CPU Z and Geekbench. In the former, it scored 856 and 81,99 points in the single and multi-core tests respectively, while Geekbench scores were 3,376 and 17,290 points. Overall, we found that its performance was substantially better than its predecessor, the 7700X.
Motherboard: Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite
Next, we have the Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite motherboard. This one offers a white colorway, which can help give your overall build a distinct look. It boasts the AM5 socket, so it is compatible with Ryzen 7000, 8000, and the latest 9000 series processors. However, this also means that you won’t be able to use it with an Intel processor if you decide to switch in the future.
To make sure you don’t face any stability or performance issues, the Aorus Elite offers a 16+2+2 phases VRM solution. Aside from that, it can host up to four DDR5 8000 MHz (OC) RAM sticks, and the slots can support a maximum capacity of 256GB combined. For the GPU, there is a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, and you’ll also find four M.2 slots for SSDs, three of which are PCIe 5.0 x4. The board also has plenty of ports for connectivity, and there’s a 2.5G LAN Port for a fast and stable wired internet connection.
While we haven’t reviewed this exact board, we have tested two X870 chipset boards – the ASUS PRIME X870-P WiFi and ASUS ROG Strix X870E-E Gaming WiFi if you want to read more about them.
RAM: Team T-Force Delta 32GB
To complement the motherboard, Newegg has included the Team T-Force Delta 32GB RGB RAM in the bundle. The kit includes two 6400 MHz 16GB sticks, and these are also all white with RGB on top. The lights can be either turned on or off, depending on your requirements. In any case, 32GB of DDR5 RAM should be more than enough for most users, but you can always upgrade later if needed.
How much will you save?
Right now, you can get the bundle for only $629.81. If you buy the three components individually, you will need to spend $721.45. However, thanks to the combo saving, you can save $91.64, which you can invest in another component for your rig, such as one of the best AIO coolers.
In case you want some high-performance components, you can check out this 4-in-1 bundle from Micro Center featuring the RX 7900 XT.
