Asus bundle offers cheapest RTX 5090 amid extreme GPU scarcity

Asus is offering a limited-edition 20th-anniversary bundle that includes their ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card, a ROG Crosshair X870E motherboard, a ROG Thor Titanium III 3000W PSU, and a ROG GR20 open-frame case for $10,849.96. Despite the high price, this bundle is currently the most affordable way to acquire an RTX 5090 due to extreme scarcity of the GPU on the market, with individual cards being scalped for prices nearing $10,000. The bundle components are top-tier, featuring the powerful RTX 5090 with enhanced cooling and power delivery, a motherboard with extensive M.2 support, a high-wattage PSU, and a premium open-frame case.
