It seems today is a day for deals on white PC components, which are fantastic if you’re building a trendy white gaming PC where every piece can come at a premium. If you’re after some trendy and speedy DDR5 RAM for this purpose, then I may well have found the deal for you on this powerful 32GB Crucial Pro DDR5-6000 kit that’s down to £71 on Amazon which is better than half price.

The 6000MT/s speeds available with this Crucial Pro RAM kit makes it one of the speedier DDR5 kits out there. It helps to provide a notable jump in performance compared to slower DDR5-5200 or DDR5-4800 RAM when gaming. We’ve seen this in testing across a range of different CPUs, with some major jumps at 1080p in titles such as Cyberpunk 2077 and Flight Simulator 2020. Once you get above FHD though, you’re more likely to be GPU-limited, so going for more affordable RAM makes sense – the performance boost isn’t necessarily there.

32GB gives you oodles of headroom for all manner of intense tasks, including heavy content creation loads, as well as gaming. In particular, you’ll be thankful for the extra headroom when handling high-res video, as it can be easy to soak up more than 16GB. It’s also handy to have more capacity if you’re gaming while having other programs open. Crucial also says this kit is suitable for overclocking with tighter CL36 timings – handy if you want to try and eke even more performance out of your rig. It’s also compatible for overclocking with both Intel and AMD systems, too.

If you want to grab a powerful and speedy RAM kit for gaming and content creation for a trendy new PC, this Amazon deal on the 32GB DDR5-6000 Crucial Pro kit is not to be missed.

If you’re after a new CPU to put into an older AM4-based system, or want to build a potent budget rig, then this bundle deal from Newegg may be for you. Currently, they are offering the potent 5700X CPU and a free 32GB kit of DDR4-3200 Corsair Vengeance RAM for $145 after a $35 discount with code BFEDZA29.

Having an 8C/16T CPU is handy if you’re going to be making use of all of them, with more intensive workloads such as both AAA gaming as well as heavy content creation workloads that can involve things such as transcoding and editing video. The 5700X also comes with a boost clock of 4.6GHz, making it especially snappy. Taking all this into account, you’ve got yourself an especially powerful and speedy processor for a great price.

With this in mind, the 5700X offers a marvellous price to performance ratio for those more intensive workloads. If you want better gaming performance than the 5700X then you’ll be spending a fair bit more on the 5700X3D, or having to build a new system on AM5. These chips are coming down in price, but you’ve then got to deal with building a new system on a new platform. What’s more, making the most of it with the latest PCIe 5.0 SSDs and DDR5 RAM is still quite expensive, even if their respective component prices are still falling.

You also get the benefit of a bundled Corsair Vengeance DDR4-3200 CL16 RAM kit, which is the ideal price to performance sweet spot for DDR4, while 32GB of capacity gives you oodles of headroom for gaming and even more intensive workloads. Newegg says this is worth $53 on its own, which combined with the $35 discount on offer, makes this quite the potent deal.

If you want to grab a potent combo of components for a new or existing AM4 build, this Newegg bundle may well be for you.
