RTX 5090 Bundles Start at $7,481 as Taiwan Retailer Drops Single Sales

The NVIDIA RTX 5090 is currently unavailable as a standalone purchase at PC Home, a major retailer in Taiwan. Buyers who want this graphics card must instead choose from four complex bundles that include motherboards, power supplies, and other components. This strategy shifts the purchasing decision from a single component upgrade to a full system overhaul, which significantly impacts the total cost for anyone looking to build a new PC.

Taiwan retailer PC Home forces buyers to purchase motherboards and power supplies alongside the GPU

The retailer offers four distinct configurations, each pairing a different RTX 5090 model with various hardware. The first bundle features the GIGABYTE AORUS RTX 5090 Master graphics card. It comes with eight motherboards from the B860M, X870E, and B850 series, along with a 1000W power supply. The second option pairs the MSI GeForce RTX 5090 Gaming TRIO OC with three MSI MPG X870E Carbon motherboards, two MSI B650M Gaming Plus boards, and a Ryzen 9 9950X3D CPU.

Bundle Pricing

• Bundle 1 Price: 241,290 TWD (~$7,481 USD)
• Bundle 1 Contents: GIGABYTE AORUS RTX 5090 Master, 8 Motherboards (B860M, X870E, B850), 1000W PSU
• Bundle 2 Price: 274,090 TWD (~$8,498 USD)
• Bundle 2 Contents: MSI GeForce RTX 5090 Gaming TRIO OC, 3x MSI MPG X870E Carbon, 2x MSI B650M Gaming Plus, Ryzen 9 9950X3D
• Bundle 3 Price: 248,990 TWD (~$7,720 USD)

The third bundle lists the ASUS ProArt RTX 5090 OC alongside four ASUS Dual Radeon RX 9060 XT GPUs. This specific configuration includes an ambiguous component name that does not match standard AMD naming conventions, suggesting a potential source error or typo in the listing. The fourth and final bundle includes the GIGABYTE AORUS RTX 5090 AI BOX, one GIGABYTE X870E AORUS Master motherboard, two GIGABYTE RTX 5060 graphics cards, and three GIGABYTE B850M Force motherboards.

Pricing for these packages ranges from approximately $7,481 to $8,498 USD, depending on the selected components. The most affordable option is the GIGABYTE bundle with the AORUS RTX 5090 Master, priced at 241,290 TWD (around $7,491). The most expensive package is the MSI configuration with the Ryzen 9 9950X3D, listed at 274,090 TWD (around $8,509). These prices reflect a significant premium over standard retail pricing for individual components, driven by the current high demand and supply constraints for the RTX 5090.

PC Home appears to be responding to market conditions by forcing customers to purchase excess inventory alongside the popular GPU. This approach allows the retailer to move slower-selling motherboards and other hardware that might otherwise sit in stock. For consumers, this means the cost of entry for the RTX 5090 is now tied to the value of the bundled components, which may not align with their specific build needs.
