Just scored a $629 CPU bundle that'll make you forget RAM prices

Okay so I saw this deal and had to share. With RAM prices being what they are in 2025, finding a decent bundle feels like striking gold. Newegg just dropped this combo that includes a motherboard, processor, and memory for $629.99, and honestly? That's almost $240 off what you'd pay buying these parts separately.

Here's the thing. I've been tracking component prices all year, and bundles usually aren't worth it. They stick you with some weird motherboard nobody wants or RAM that runs at snail speeds. But this one's different. You're getting actual decent parts here, not the bottom-shelf stuff they usually throw in bundles.

What really caught my eye is the timing. We're heading into 2026, and everyone's been complaining about memory prices staying stubbornly high. So seeing a bundle that includes RAM and saves you this much money? That's rare. Usually these deals are like $50 off if you're lucky.

Now I don't know how long this'll last. Newegg tends to run these bundles until stock runs out, and at this price point, I'm guessing it won't be around next week. If you've been sitting on the fence about building a system, this might be your shot. Just saying.
