Grab 32 GB of Corsair DDR5-6000 RAM for $288 when bundled with this Gigabyte X870 AM5 motherboard—a decent saving when similar kits are $400+

I’m not expecting to see any major deals on RAM kits over the coming Prime Day, due to the ongoing memory crisis. However, there are some bundles that help alleviate the worst of RAM pricing today. Such as this Gigabyte/Corsair bundle at Newegg.

The bundle deal includes:

Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite WiFi7 Ice
DDR5-6000 32 GB (2x 16 GB) RAM

All for $515.

The motherboard alone costs $260 on Newegg (or another seller has it for $234). We reviewed this exact model at the start of last year, awarding it a score of 84% for its great upgradeability and clean look. It’s a great fit for any Ryzen 7000-series or 9000-series chip.

The RAM kit is listed for $440 on Newegg. I’ve also had a look around on Amazon for comparable kits, and even the cheaper options, such as this Lexar Thor Z kit, are $400. That means you’re saving around $185–$119 with this bundle deal, which takes some of the pain out of the current PC building crisis—though not all.

It’s a good RAM kit. At 6000 MT/s, it’s running at the ideal speed for an AM5 processor to get the most out of it, and 32 GB is plenty for any modern machine for a good while yet. It’s also rated to a CAS latency of 36, which is perfectly suitable for a gaming rig.

It’s also a white kit, which matches the motherboard. Though Newegg does offer a separate bundle for anyone looking for more traditional black build. It includes a MSI MAG X870 Tomahawk WiFi and Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 kit, but it’s a little more expensive.

These aren’t the prices we want to see in any case, but we’re working with what’s available at the moment. If you’re looking to build your own PC and facing the fright of inflated price tags, at least a bundle deal makes things just a little bit better.
