MSI and AMD Might Bring CPU + GPU + Mobo Bundle to market
Interesting, MSI and AMD Might offer a Hardware Package slash bundle to the market. The bundle would include a motherboard, processor and graphics card.
Two photos spotted by Videocardz show a box that holds a Ryzen 7 1700, an MSI Radeon RX 580 Armor video card with 8GB and an MSI B350 Tomahawk AM4 motherboard. These l00t-box bundles ;) would be called "Combat Crates".
The weird thing about this bundle would be that AMD just phased out the CPUs, so to see this bundled now is a bit weird? a Ryzen 2600 or 2700 would make so much more sense right? The idea applies to the motherboard, it would be bundled with a B350 motherboard, while B450 models are expected later this year.
Well, we'll just wait and see what and if it happens.

Maybe this is AMD's revenge for MSI talking badly about their graphics cards before?
I wonder if this pack will offer any real discount of advantages over buying things separately.

If they price this thing right it could be a great idea.

It should be a little cheap, else why bundle. It will also lock customers into owning MSI products for a generation or so, building brand loyalty.

Hopefully this will enable people to get a GPU at a reasonable price. Which I guess is the rationale behind this. Unless some people buy them all, then sell the parts one by one at a premium....

Isn't this just going to be unsold inventory on retailer shelves, AMD can't sell enough these GPU's for a reason :\

Only in 2017-2018 could something like this ever be marketable. Normally this would just hike up the price when you could effortlessly just pick out the parts yourself, but considering the cost of things like GPUs, this sadly ends up being a "good deal".
Considering RAM prices are still crazy high, this is actually legitimately a little annoying. Seems like a real missed opportunity. This bundle would likely sell better with at least 16GB.

Neither AMD nor MSI make RAM sticks so that should be no surprise here.

They made so much that I've never seen any for sale, much less in my hands.
