Community Reviews

This bundle is a gaming focused build anchored by a strong 9800X3D, but the rest of the parts make it feel badly balanced for the $2,800 price. The 128GB DDR5 kit and 4TB NVMe are the headline extras, yet the RTX 5070 12GB is repeatedly seen as too weak for the money, especially beside that much memory. The same memory is also viewed as hard to resell at the implied value, with recent sale examples far below the bundle math. It reads like a RAM heavy package that only makes sense if you truly need the capacity.

Common Questions (5)

  • The RAM is the main value driver, but selling it quickly at the hoped-for price looks difficult. One kit sold for $900 after more than a month, and another 64GB kit only moved at $450 after 3 weeks, so a $2,000 resale is not realistic for most buyers.

  • The RTX 5070 is widely seen as the weak point here because it is only a 12GB card and not a 5070 Ti or 16GB-class GPU. For a gaming build at this price, the GPU is considered underpowered compared with the rest of the parts.

  • It is hard to justify at $2800 unless you specifically want the 128GB RAM and 4TB NVMe. The 9800X3D is a strong gaming CPU, but the plain RTX 5070 and the oversized memory make the build feel imbalanced for the price.

  • Not really, because the 9800X3D is a 8-core gaming-focused CPU and the 128GB RAM is overkill for most gaming builds. For production work, the comments suggest a higher-core CPU such as a 16/32-class chip would fit better.

  • Yes, unless you genuinely need both 128GB of RAM and 4TB of NVMe storage. For typical gaming builds, the memory and storage are seen as the parts inflating the bundle more than improving value.

This is an entire pc build that would be pretty good right? The 128gb of ram seems a tad random, but the only real shortfall is that it's a 12gb gpu and the psu right?

Great deal. You can sell the RAM alone for at least $2,000 and end up with a great gaming cpu, decent gpu, and a 4tb ssd for $800. Thats not even including the lower ticket items like a few cheap games and basically everything else needed for a computer.
This basically gets you a great mid tier system for about $1,000 plus some frebies.

128gb RAM paired with a crappy 8 core cpu? 😂 I mean its great for gaming, but for production, the cpu is almost useless. The 12gb vram is also too low for a gaming cpu at this price. Just a very overpriced, lopsided build... should of had a 9950x3d or cut the RAM in half and lower the price a lot.
A 9800x3d is still a really good cpu for 95% of people though? IMO the main thing that's weird is the ram. How's gaming on one stick of 64gb? lol I'm guessing the best option is to sell it and buy just 32gb somewhere.

You would have to find somebody dumb enough to put down $2000 for 128gb of Ram. Good luck with that.

Find me a buyer for that ram at 2k and I'll stock up on this bundle. Last month I had this exact ram kit listed for 900 and it took over a month to finally sell.

So you are saying that people need 128gb of Ram for gaming? Please explain.

I had a hard time selling 64gb G.SKILL ARGB for $500 so after 3 weeks I finally got rid of it for $450. People ain't paying those insane prices for ram.

Yup. I don't think the people commenting have any idea what ram actually sells for on secondary markets.

It looks like memory prices are falling so I wouldn't buy RAM and NVME heavy bundles. If you're building a gaming PC you'll need a 16GB video card like 5070 TI or 9070 XT - minimum.

That is a horribly imbalanced system. If gaming trade in 3/4 of that RAM and buy a top end GPU.
If it's a production machine get a 16/32 CPU. It makes no sense.
