GoKawiilThe AMD Ryzen 7 7700X3D is AMD's brand-new Ryzen 7 CPU, designed to slot neatly between the 7800X3D and the 7600X3D. While it's not a stellar offering as a standalone CPU upgrade, in this bundle featuring 16GB of DDR5 RAM for $16, it's a no-brainer as the perfect start to an AM5 gaming build.
Right now, you can get the 7700X3D at Newegg with an MSI Pro X870-P motherboard, 16GB of DDR5 G.Skill Ripjaws M5 (1x16GB), and a free Cooler Master Elite Liquid 240 CPU AIO for just $588, a $233 saving that gets you the RAM for basically nothing.
While this bundle does limit you to single-channel RAM for the time being — it's just a single stick of 16GB DDR5 — it's an ample start for a mid-range gaming build in the current economy. If you really wanted, you could buy a second stick for the list price of $249, and get yourself 32GB of DDR5 for $265, which is much cheaper than the current going rate for RAM. If you factor in the free cooler, you're also saving another $80.
The 7700X3D can't match the more expensive 7800X3D or the hallowed 9800X3D, but as you can see from our testing, it can sustain average frames of 164fps in our 1080p gaming test suite, making it a great option for 1080p and 1440p gaming. This Zen 4 chip has 8 cores and 16 threads, and features 104MB of Cache.
That this bundle comes with a single stick of 16GB DDR5 6000 RAM is a small downside. It won't be as performant as two 8GB sticks, but it does leave you the option to upgrade to 32GB in the future, with timings of 36-36-36-76 and a black aluminum heat spreader. The M5 comes with addressable RGB lighting and support for both AMD EXPO and Intel XMP 3.0, the former being the pertinent one in this AM5 build. It's a small compromise that allows you to save a ton of money and get your hands on one of AMD's latest X3D processors for less.
The motherboard is MSI's Pro X870-P Wi-Fi board, which has a sleek aluminum look. The board supports up to 256GB of DDR5 RAM (four DIMM slots) for that aforementioned future upgrade, as well as Wi-Fi 7. It also has support for both PCIe 5.0 and 4.0 for M.2 SSD storage, and 5G LAN for super-fast networking.
The final cherry on top is Cooler Master's Elite Liquid 240 CPU AIO Cooler, a 240mm cooler that will keep your CPU temperatures down, giving you plenty of headroom for gaming. If you're looking to start a mid-range AM5 gaming build in 2026, you could do a lot worse than this bundle, which is one of the best we've seen in terms of RAM pricing in recent weeks.
