GoKawiilWhile the AI boom has caused retailers to push up prices for PC hardware, Newegg has been going against the grain with its combo deals, with big discounts on RAM and SSDs combined with other products.

The combined kit here means you'll end up paying just $280 for 32GB of DDR5 RAM, which is around $100 less than the cheapest DDR5 RAM kit you can buy right now. You're also getting the Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus in this PC build bundle, one of Intel's latest releases, and arguably its best CPU currently on sale. After plenty of underwhelming releases, the 270K Plus delivers gaming performance that is almost as fast as the still-popular Core i9 14900K, while rivalling the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X for productivity workloads, but at a much lower cost.
Gamers are pretty skeptical of Intel gaming performance these days, but the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus is genuinely impressive, and right now, it's one of the best CPUs for gaming. Buying it on its own for $319.99 would be good value in itself, even if it's $20 above its launch price, and that's down to the performance you're getting here.
It can match AMD's rivals at this price point for gaming, going toe-to-toe with flagship competitors that are twice as expensive when you're looking at single or multi-threaded performance, as the CPU benchmarks below show. Yes, it isn't an AMD X3D rival, but it's also much cheaper, and a CPU at this price point that can offer gaming performance to rival the Core i9 14900K is a worthy one to consider.

Elsewhere in this bundle, you're getting the ASRock Z890 Pro RS. This is a budget-friendly board, but with full Z890 support, so you can use it to overclock the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus if you want to push it further. It features 20 total power phases to keep voltage stable, and includes a 2.5G Ethernet port, dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, along with four M.2 slots, with one that supports Gen 5 speeds.
Back to the RAM, and you're well covered for a gaming PC with this kit, as you're getting 32GB of G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5 RAM, rated at 6,000 MT/s. That's a big upgrade over DDR4 speeds, where 3,600 MT/s would be typical. The kit is dual-channel, with two 16GB modules, and has CAS latency and memory timings of 36-36-36-96, along with RGB lighting to jazz up your build.
The individual cost of these three components, if you bought them separately, would set you back $999.97. That makes the $769.99 sale price for this Newegg combo a brilliant alternative if you're planning a new PC build or upgrade, especially when you consider that you're effectively only paying $280 for the RAM, letting you spend the $229.98 you're saving overall elsewhere.
