Let's face it, buying a PC sucks right now. With the memory crisis in full swing, memory, storage, and even graphics cards are rising, and they're likely only going to rise until at least next year, and maybe longer. But if you've got to build yourself a PC anytime soon, there are still some deals to be had.
Like this Newegg bundle for $781. It pairs fast memory with a solid SSD, a decent AMD CPU, a motherboard to slot it into and a cooler as a cherry on top. Newegg says you're saving almost $300, but that doesn't even include the price of the $80 cooler. If you shop outside of Newegg, you can make up this bundle, minus the cooler, for just shy of $1,000, so it really is a solid deal.

That Zen 5 chip is still very fast, and we gave it 81% in our review a few years ago. It's listed for $220 at Newegg but only $180 at Amazon, so if you were buying it for the CPU alone, I'd be looking elsewhere. Still, it's a decent chip, with six cores of the latest Zen 5 architecture, and more than capable of some very solid gaming.
Moving from here to the star of the show, the 6000 MT/s memory from Team Group is mighty powerful and comes embedded with RGB if that's your kind of thing. At 32 GB, it has a high capacity, and will be able to handle pretty much anything you can throw at it.
Team Group's G50 SSDs are certainly intended to be a more budget-friendly option, with sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s and write speeds up to 4,800 MB/s, but that's not bad at all for modern gaming. The only issue that might pop up here is capacity. 1 TB is still pretty low, but it's more than enough to throw Windows on and a couple of games.
The Gigabyte B850M Eagle is a solid Micro-ATX AM5 motherboard and it offers two M.2 slots, as well as Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, and a smattering of USB ports.
Following this all up is the Cooler Master 240 mm all-in-one liquid CPU cooler. It's on the budget side, but with two 120 mm ARGB fans, going from 600 to 2100 RPM, it's plenty capable of cooling that low wattage AMD chip. Especially for free.
All you need from here is a PSU, case, and graphics card, and you're all set.
