(Sold out) RAM prices are ridiculous but Newegg is literally giving sticks away with this AM5 motherboard—easily the best Black Friday motherboard deal

Save $50

Asus TUF Gaming B850M-E WiFi + free RAM (16 GB DDR5-6000): was $219.99 now $169.99 at Newegg

A good home for a Ryzen 9000- or 7000-series processor. It has Wi-Fi 6E, a decent selection of ports, and one PCIe 5.0 NVMe slot. Though there's room for two more PCIe 4.0 SSDs, too. This model is an mATX size, which means it's a little smaller than a standard ATX but will fit in more compact cases.

Key specs: 8+2+1 | AM5 | 1x PCIe 5.0 NVMe | 2x PCIe 4.0 NVMe | 1x Type-C USB 10 Gbps

This is the best motherboard deal right now—not because it's particularly affordable, but because it comes with free RAM.

That's right, in a market when RAM prices have doubled, even tripled or quadrupled, in the past few months (thanks, AI), you can get some for free over at Newegg by purchasing this qualifying motherboard.

• Asus TUF Gaming B850M-E WiFi - mATX | $170 @ Newegg

Added as a free gift, you will receive a set of Team Group 16 GB (2x 8 GB) DDR5-6000 memory. That's right in the sweet spot for a modern Ryzen processor.

The memory kit's CAS latency of 38 is a little high compared to some top-notch kits, but with a value of $129 right now, and competing kits often going for more, that's a big saving for any full PC build.

As for the motherboard, it's using the B850 chipset and offers PCIe 5.0 NVMe slots and Wi-Fi 6E connectivity. It has eight USB ports, ranging from USB 2.0 to USB 3.2 Type-C, though doesn't come with USB4—that's reserved for more premium X870 models. It'd be nice to see a few more USB ports here, especially as the TUF model comes with not one but two DisplayPort outputs, and a single HDMI, but that's just the way it is with the B850 chipset sometimes.

If it weren't for the RAM, I'd recommend this cheap X870 model instead. It offers all the benefits of X870 for not much more than a B850. Plus there are some more affordable B650 models if you want to go cheaper still. But it's tough to argue with either of these B850 models due to the free memory.

The TUF is also discounted outside of the free RAM offer: down from $220 to $170, a 22% saving.

Newegg does note that this deal only comes with the extra RAM "while supplies last". I'm not sure how upfront that info will be when the time comes and the RAM is all gone, so just be prepared to cancel your order or get a refund if it doesn't come through.

I'm currently tracking deals on PC parts in our PC components deals page, which is updated live by yours truly. So check that out for anything else you might be after to get your next PC build over the line for less.

There are a few good AMD CPU deals right now, such as the Ryzen 5 9600X for $195. A good fit with this motherboard and free RAM.
