Why you should buy the NextGen X3D System Bundle

This bundle gets you four major components you need for building a gaming PC. It’s not everything, but it will get you very close. Let’s break down each piece.

CPU: AMD Rizen 7 7800X3D. This bundle starts out with a bang. The 7800X3D CPU was crowned the “king of gaming” when it came out, and still holds a spot in our list of the best CPUs for gaming as the “best last-gen processor for gaming.” It’s a very fast processor that will hold up even though it’s technically a generation behind.

GPU: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5080. The 5080 didn’t get the most glowing review when it came out, but it has its place among the newest generation of Nvidia graphics cards. The 50-Series GPUs now use AI Management Processor (AMP), which increases speeds by scheduling tasks across the 10,752 CUDA cores.

Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 Eagle AX. This motherboard has lots of input options, Wi-Fi 6E capabilities, and Bluetooth. It has three M.2 slots for SSDs, so you could potentially add a third 16GB SSD for even more RAM.

SSD: Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB. This is double the standard 16GB of RAM suggested by our guide on how much RAM you need.

That’s a great start for a powerful gaming PC. If you’re starting from scratch, you’ll need a few more things — a case and some fans, for instance. Check out our guide on how to build a gaming PC for more details. If these components fit your needs, grab this deal before it ends on Monday, June 30. You can get this bundle for $2,400, saving you $438 over the original price.
