Derp. Absolutely not true, RAM only matters if you're processing on the CPU not the GPU. If its the CPU then you need a monster CPU in addition to lots of RAM. A 9850X3D is a bad choice for running AI models.

If you click through, at least as of right now, if you bought the RAM alone it comes with WB Black SN7100 4TB SSD as a freebie. So the RAM + SSD is $1700, not $1700+$500. Also there is no need to get this specific RAM, mobo, or CPU as you can get slightly different ones for less that are comparably performant. Like the 9800X3D CPU is like ~98% as good, for less money. It's still a good deal but these numbers are inflated.

Community Reviews

This bundle stands out as a high-value parts package for AI or workstation-style builds, especially because the 128GB of G.SKILL RAM and the included 4TB WD_BLACK SSD carry most of the value. The RAM is described as having decent timings, and the free extras make the total pricing look far below buying the parts separately. The main oddity is the pairing of a gaming-focused 9850X3D with 128GB of memory and no GPU, which feels overbuilt for gaming and underbalanced for the CPU. It makes the most sense if the RAM and storage are the real draw.

Common Questions (5)

  • The 9850X3D is a gaming-focused CPU, but 128GB of RAM is overkill for gaming and 32GB is plenty for that use case. The bundle makes more sense if you need the memory for heavier workloads rather than a typical gaming build.

    jwongPT89Vanquishedjnelsoninjax

  • Yes. 128GB system RAM can help run large local AI models, especially when models are too big for GPU VRAM and need CPU RAM offloading; CPU-only inference will be slower, but hybrid CPU+GPU setups can work well. It is also useful for memory-heavy tasks like MoE models and some fine-tuning workflows.

    ThriftyThread5737test_subjadayPT89

  • Yes, the RAM purchase can include a WD_BLACK SN7100 4TB SSD as a freebie, so the advertised RAM+SSD pricing may be inflated. That makes the bundle look better than a simple $1700 RAM plus $500 SSD add-on.

    goldchocoboWorlockTKitch

  • A part-out comparison put the bundle at about $3022 in separate retail pricing, while another breakdown estimated the RAM alone at around $1700 and the rest of the bundle effectively free. That is why it is being treated as a strong deal despite the odd component mix.

    EragornTKitchsmith6ar

  • Not really, because the bundle does not include a GPU and you would still need to spend roughly $400-$500 on even a basic one. For a more balanced build, the comments suggest cutting the RAM down and putting the savings toward a decent GPU.

I assume they mean the duster but it's generally well-reviewed.

RAM prices are in a bubble right now thanks in part to someone's trade war. Trying to make a profit from resale would be like trying to flip houses when the market is peaking... it's not impossible, but you're just as likely to be left holding the bag when the bubble finally bursts and prices settle down
Trade war? The prices were not crazy, UNTIL THE AI BUYOUT. You don't have to like orange man, AT ALL, but some intellectual honesty would do you some good. With citizens like you, it's no wonder we get the lying psychotic politicians we get

Basically: Buy the insanely overpriced RAM Kit, and everything else is free.

(The 128GB Alone is 1700 bucks, so literally this is the same price as just the RAM.)

Wow this is pretty sick. I think I might buy this and sell the ram for $1200, SSD for $450, and motherboard for $175 on ebay.

I could keep the CPU and $125 on top, but realistically eBay fees would be about $250, but still this CPU for $125 is crazy.

It is kind of an annoying amount of work to sell all this on eBay though
kinda risky to sell ram in this environment. Lots of scammers both on the buyers and seller side. Almost too easy to commit return fraud.

I ended up buying this bundle for a new work PC. Paired it with a GIGABYTE WindForce GeForce RTX 5070 Ti which randomly came with a free GIGABYTE B550 GAMING X V2 AM4 AMD B550 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard... SO SO SO random.
So 4tb NVME, Resident Evil 9, $110 mobo, Random fan, and Crimson Desert all included as extras. I ended up picking up a case, psu, and AIO cooler and still stayed under $2900.
I am confused, but I am here for it!

Wait,wait wait. You want more than 4 m.2 slots? What motherboard has more than 4 m.2 slots ? Why would you even need more than 4 considering the limited PCIe lanes? And the limitations of m.2 in terms of capacity these days which almost means going SATA for HDDs

No GPU with this bundle, yet 128GB of RAM? That is just a really odd bundle, you are still looking at 4-500 for a basic GPU, so that puts the whole cost at over 2K. Take half the RAM and put a decent GPU for the same cost and it would be worth buying.

How do you guys afford these crazy prices is beyond my comprehension.
I paid attention to the tech news and prebought everything for a new PC at the lowest or close to the lowest price for it.

I just need to buy CPU, MB and AIO. I am hoping for Intel Nova Lake 52 core CPU and Z990 MB to be good. If not, my current systems are just fine for years.
