Newegg is, yet again, delivering the goods with an outstanding deal on two of our favorite bits of kit for a gaming PC build. This deal combines the powerhouse AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D, one of the fastest processors you can buy for gaming, with the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT for just $978.99. That's a huge $196 saving that brings down the effective price for this GPU to just $504, a whopping $95 below its MSRP.

Our AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT review shows just what a beast this GPU is for gaming. This isn't a RTX 5090 rival, but it doesn't have to be, as it provides strong performance at reasonable value, as our GPU benchmarks below confirm, something that Nvidia has struggled to provide (at least, from the value side) with its current-gen Blackwell cards.

What you're getting with this RDNA 4 GPU is a serious performance boost over older AMD GPUs. It comes with 64 RDNA 4 compute units and 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM on a 254-bit memory bus, operating at a memory speed of 20 Gbps. For gaming, that means you'll have a card that will smash through high frame rates at 1080p, even at Ultra, while easily managing to hit them at 1440p. It won't be a slouch at 4K, either, but you might need to tweak your graphics settings, depending on the game you're playing. The RX 9070 XT here is an ASRock Challenger model, shipping with a three-fan cooling system, RGB lighting, and a nickel-plated copper base.
That 16GB of VRAM is making all the difference here, as your rig will have the extra breathing room to deliver higher, more stable frame rates, especially compared to lower-end cards with 8GB of VRAM like the RX 9060 XT. Ironically, the $504 effective price you're paying here for the RX 9070 XT in this combo deal is in the same ballpark as the price you'd be paying for the lower-spec RX 9060 XT on the open market right now if you were buying a GPU separately.
Coupled with the RX 9070 XT in this deal, too, is the AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D. This CPU is one of the most powerful gaming CPUs out there right now, as our AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D review explains. All eight of the 9850X3D's cores are able to take advantage of AMD's potent 3D V-cache technology, boosting the available L3 cache capacity to 96MB. This helps to reduce latency in-game and deliver the best possible gaming performance. with higher and more stable frame rates.
This Zen 5 CPU comes with a 4.7 GHz base clock speed, with a boost limit of 5.6 GHz. The 9850X3D also comes fully unlocked, a feature unavailable to older X3D chips, meaning you can push this CPU to its limits with overclocking (if your build can take it, that is).
You're also getting a GAMDIAS Aura GL240 240mm AIO cooler thrown in with this deal for free. It has a two-fan setup with ARGB lighting and a rotatable pump cover, and would cost you $59.99 if you bought it separately, rather than the zero you're paying for it here.
For a 1440p or 4K-capable gaming PC, you can't go far wrong with combining two of AMD's most powerful CPUs and GPUs. This 9850X3D and RX 9070 XT Newegg deal for $978.99 means you're saving $196 that you can put towards other upgrades. More importantly, the $504 effective price you're paying for the RX 9070 XT here is one that beats any standalone GPU deal on the market right now, by far, so if you want it, you'll need to be quick.
