Build a gaming PC with Ryzen 5 + ASUS X570 motherboard: $285 ($40+ off)

$285

Newegg is offering a bundle that includes the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor and ASUS Prime X570-P Ryzen Motherboard for $284.99 shipped. For comparison, you’d regularly pay $180 for the processor and around $145 or so for the motherboard, with today’s deal saving you $40 or more. If you’ve been wanting to build your own gaming PC for a while, this is a great option. Ryzen 5 3600 is the CPU of choice for my upcoming custom PC build and it packs quite a big punch when it comes to processing power for its price. Plus, the included motherboard supports PCIe 4.0, which is the latest standard, ensuring you have the most power available at your fingertips. Rated 4.1+ stars.

With your savings, be sure to grab this 240GB SSD from ADATA at Amazon. It’s available for $35 shipped when you clip the on-page coupon. While it’s not the latest NVMe standard, it still offers great transfer speeds for budget-focused systems.

If you’re in need of a graphics card, don’t forget that we found an RTX 2060 on sale for $300, which would be a fantastic fit for today’s lead deal.
