If you’re trying to buy PC hardware, specifically RAM, storage, and video cards, over the last several months, you’ve been greeted by abhorrently high pricing due to the AI boom. Newegg combos have saved the day for some, and we found another awesome 3-item combo to help save money. For only $1,082 ($446.98 / 29% off), you get a massive (and fast!) 4TB Samsung 9100 Pro SSD, 32GB (2x16GB) V-Color Manta XSky DDR5-6000 RAM, and an Asus TUF Gaming X870E-Plus motherboard. Together, this is a great start for a build based on the AM5 platform.
The RAM included in the combo is V-Color Manta XSky. We’ve seen some kits from them before, but none with this speed and low timings. The sticks sport black heat spreaders and a frosted RGB element across the top and match well with the Asus board. Specs-wise, it’s a 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000 kit with tight timings (CL30-38-38-96 @ 1.35V). Under the hood are SK Hynix ICs, so you do have some headroom if you want to overclock past their rated speed or to tighten them down. AMD’s sweet spot (Price/performance) for AM5 processors is around 6000-6400 MT/s, so these fall into that bucket. V-color may not be as popular as Corsair, GSkill, or Kingston, for example, but their memory is just as fast and stable, looks good, and is an excellent overall option.
Samsung 9100 Pro 4TB is one of the fastest M.2 drives around. Based on PCIe 5.0 x4 connection, it boasts speeds up to 14,800 MB/s reads and 13,400 MB/s writes (sequential) with 2,200K IOPS read, and 2,600K IOPS writes. In other words, it’s fast, and the benchmarks (below) show it. Samsung stands behind these speedy drives with a 5-year limited warranty and lists Terabytes Written at a typical level for the capacity, 2,400 TBW.

The Asus TUF Gaming X870E-Plus Wifi 7 is a solid all-around motherboard for the AM5 platform. It delivers sufficient power to support flagship-class processors and easily handles the 9850X3D in the combo, even with some overclocking. It comes with four M.2 sockets (one PCIe 5.0) and two SATA ports for storage, fast networking with integrated Wi-Fi 7 and 2,5 GbE, ample USB ports on the rear IO (13, including two USB4 40 Gbps Type-C), and a quality audio solution based on the last-gen Realtek flagship (ALC1220P). Asus’ AI solutions (AI Cache Boost, Overclocking, Cooling II, and Networking II) and the DIY-friendly design make it easy to build and get the most out of your system.
If you’ve been looking for a cheap way into the AM5 platform and need a lot of storage, this is one of the best Newegg combo deals we’ve seen. No matter how you apply the
29% / $447 discount(which essentially amounts to either free RAM or a really cheap 4TB PCIe 5.0 x4 SSD), it’s a great deal on high-quality hardware that will get your rig updated without completely cleaning out your wallet.
