GoKawiilBuilding a gaming PC in 2026 is tough given the state of RAM and SSD pricing, but it's not impossible. If you want an AM5 gaming PC with the best gaming CPU on the market, look no further than this AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D bundle with 32GB of RAM, a B850 motherboard, and a 240mm AIO CPU cooler for just $1,039 at Newegg.
That's a saving of $148 on the list price of these components at Newegg, but crucially, it's also more than $100 less than buying these parts separately at various retailers at their cheapest overall prices. As such, bundling these components will save you more than $100 on your gaming PC.
The star of this bundle is undoubtedly the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D. Despite not quite being the fastest gaming CPU on the market, this behemoth retains its crown as the best CPU for gaming in 2026 thanks to its blistering overall performance and more modest power draw compared to the 9850X3D. This 8-core, 16-thread processor is clocked at 4.7 GHz, with boost clocks of up to 5.2 GHz. With its coveted 3D v-cache and 96MB of LR capacity, this processor ensures much higher frame rates compared to non-X3D models, as you can see in our gaming benchmarks below.

The CPU really needs no introduction. Alongside it, you'll get the Gigabyte B850 Aorus Elite Wi-Fi 7 Ice motherboard, which features support for up to four DDR5 8200 DIMMs and a total of 256GB of RAM. It also has a single M.2 PCIe 5.0 slot, as well as two PCIe 4.0 slots for SSD expansion. As the name suggests, it supports Wi-Fi 7, 2.5Gbps LAN, and 7.1 audio. It also has a myriad selection of ports, including USB 3.1, USB-C, and more. With 14+2+2 power staging and DIY friendly tools like EZ-Latch for M.2 and PCIe, this is a fantastic companion board to start your build, also featuring a striking white aesthetic.
The RAM in this build is Corsair's popular Vengeance 32GB 6000, the sweet spot for gaming on AM5 that will provide all the performance you need for gaming and multitasking. Unfortunately, it's the inflated prices of RAM that are driving up the cost of this build, making that $150 saving all the more important. Finally, you get a free gift: Cooler Master's Elite Liquid 240 CPU AIO. This dual-chamber pump has AM5 support and will fit the CPU no problem, keeping your CPU nice and cool during gaming and even providing some overclocking headroom.
As mentioned, this motherboard bundle is white, so perfect for an icy PC build. Of course, if you'd prefer a darker, stealthier look, an identical bundle with the black version of this board can be found at Newegg for $10 more, at $1,409. As you can see, the total cost of this build would be $1,187 if you bought the parts separately, even with the AIO costing just $39, and a $30 discount on the RAM.

Paired with the right GPU, this would make the perfect start for an AM5 gaming build that will chew through any gaming title at 1440p or even 4K, with the 9800X3D offering some of the best gaming potential of any CPU on the market.
