Newegg is offering a high-end PC parts bundle combining AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 CPU, an 8TB Samsung 9100 Pro SSD, an MSI X870E Gaming Plus WiFi motherboard, and 32GB of V-Color DDR5-6000 memory for $2,999, down from a combined retail price of $4,288. The deal also throws in a free Cooler Master 240mm AIO cooler and a copy of Onimusha with qualifying AMD purchases. Buyers still need to add a case, power supply, and graphics card to complete the build.
Newegg is offering a combo deal pairing AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor with an Asus TUF Gaming X870E-Plus motherboard and 32GB of Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 memory for $1,109.99. The package also throws in a 240mm Cooler Master AIO liquid cooler and a copy of Onimusha: Way of the Sword at no extra cost, saving buyers roughly $150 versus buying the parts separately.
An Australian Redditor known as VastOption875 says they discovered a decommissioned work server in their garage containing 30 64GB DDR4-2666 memory modules, nearly 2TB combined, that their former employer let them keep. At roughly $400 per module in today's market, the stash could be worth around $12,000, with ECC server memory potentially fetching even more.
Newegg is discounting an ABS Cyclone prebuilt gaming desktop by $420, bringing it to $1,379. The system pairs an Intel Core i7-14700F 20-core CPU with an RTX 5060 8GB GPU, 32GB of DDR5-6000 memory, and a 1TB Gen 4 SSD on an ASRock B760M-CX motherboard.
Newegg is selling a TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-5200 memory kit for $389.99 using coupon code LUYRF228, down from $429.99. The kit runs at 5,200 MT/s with 40-40-40-76 timings, making it a mid-tier option rather than a top-speed choice for enthusiasts.
Newegg is selling the ABS Kaze II Aqua gaming PC, which pairs an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D with an Nvidia RTX 5080, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 2TB SSD, for $2,999.99 using a coupon code. That's $500 off list price and actually cheaper than the same bundle cost when it was featured back in April, despite rising component prices industry-wide.
Computer memory listed as 16GB or 32GB RAM refers to DRAM, the temporary working memory that loses its contents once power is cut, requiring constant electrical refreshes to hold data while running. SRAM, used in processor caches like AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X3D with 144MB of cache, is also volatile but doesn't need refresh cycles and offers faster access due to its transistor-based latching design. Both differ fundamentally from non-volatile storage, which retains data without power.
Corsair is offering discounts of up to 23% on its Vengeance RGB DDR5-6400 memory kits in 32GB and 64GB capacities. The 64GB kit uses four 16GB modules running at DDR5-6400 with 32-40-40-84 timings and 1.4V, while the 32GB kit shares the same specs and comes in white, black, and RGB variants. All kits support Intel XMP and are backed by Corsair's limited lifetime warranty.
V-Color has started retail sales of its novelty DDR5 memory products: 0GB dummy sticks that contain no memory chips at all, and 1+1 kits pairing one working RAM module with one fake filler stick. The 0GB dummy kits are available across the US, UK and parts of Europe for the Manta XSky and XFinity lines, while the half-real 1+1 kits are so far limited to the UK and Germany and only for the XSky model, priced roughly between $43 and $384 depending on speed, capacity and region.
Walmart has discounted the CyberPowerPC Gamer Supreme prebuilt desktop by 21%, dropping it from $1,769.99 to $1,399. The system pairs Intel's Core Ultra 7 270K Plus processor with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti (8GB VRAM), 16GB of DDR5 memory, and a 1TB SSD.
G.Skill has introduced the Flare X5X series, a new DDR5-6000 memory line built for AMD Ryzen systems using AMD's EXPO ULL technology, which tightens memory subtimings for better performance. The initial kit ships as 2x16GB modules with 36-36-36-96 primary timings at 1.35V, matching the standard Flare X5 on the surface. Pricing and part numbers have not yet been disclosed by the company.
