Attachment 14905

If you're looking to build a new gaming PC with AMD hardware, you can save a few bucks by taking advantage of Newegg's bundle offer consisting of a Ryzen 5 2600 processor and Asus ROG Strix X370-F Gaming motherboard.

Purchased together, the combo is priced at $299.99, saving you $59.99 if you were to buy the two parts separately. That's a nice chunk of change that you can apply to some other area, like the graphics card, memory allotment, or storage.

In case you're not familiar with these parts, the Ryzen 5 2600 is one step down from the Ryzen 5 2600X, which we consider the best AMD option. Both chips are 6-core/12-thread CPUs with 16MB of L3 cache, just the non-X part is clocked at 3.4GHz to 3.9GHz, slightly slower than the X variant's 3.6GHz to 4.2GHz clocks.

As to the motherboard, it's a higher end option based on AMD's X370 chipset. It has three PCIe x16 slots, eight SATA 6Gbps connectors, and two M.2 sockets for faster NVMe SSDs.
