Community Reviews

This bundle is mainly a low-cost entry into a Ryzen 5 5500 and B450M build, with RGB memory and thermal paste included. The price looks less compelling next to newer AM5 and B650 deals, and the motherboard is an older 2018-era platform with PCIe 3.0 only. Expansion is limited, with the second slot capped at PCIe 2.0, though the x4 slot is still better than a PCIe 3.0 x1 slot. Rising DDR4 prices also make the memory portion harder to value, so it fits best as a budget stopgap.

Motherboard is like from 2018 . The b650 with 9600x was $295 and with the gift card deal it was $275 out the door @ newegg for current gen.
But it didn't come with ram. 64gb ram 2x32 is up to $320 up from $180

I just read an article from Toms Hardware talking about this. The simple answer is high demand and low production. The reason for low production is pretty much what The_Love_Spud said. Manufacturers are focusing on making the RAM used in the servers hosting AI and simultaneously phasing out DDR4. They need to increase production of DDR5 to meet demand, but that's not going to happen overnight and it isn't the immediate focus because the demand for that server RAM is so high. The aforementioned article said prices probably won't come down until 2027 or 2028.

Maybe they need to clear old stock before it goes bad. Otherwise, it's a fairly cheap item that could make people think it's a better deal. Plus, it's probably better than what AMD includes in the CPU retail box.
