What’s the best way to sell graphics cards during neverending mining craze? In a bundle.

AMD Combat Crate: CPU + GPU + Motherboard
So far we only know about two Combat Crates, both made with a partnership with MSI. They come with a Ryzen CPU (Ryzen 5 1600 or Ryzen 7 1700), a B350 motherboard and MSI RX 580 Armor graphics cards.

AMD may be trying to get rid of the remaining 1st Gen Ryzen processors, but also helping MSI to sell B350 motherboards before B450 enters the market.

AMD Combat Crate:

The AMD Combat Crate comes stocked with essential hardware you need to push your game to the next level and lay waste to the competition. With a lightning-fast Ryzen processor, powerful RX graphics backed by revolutionary Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition and a feature-ready MSI motherboard — the AMD Combat Crate is the ultimate arsenal for gamers.

This could be attractive to gamers who are starting off, or are interesting in medium-range (1080p) gaming. An end-user may or may not care whether it's from MSI or anyone else, if it's a simple package at a decent price then it might seem attractive.
 
Slight issue with the advertising on the front of the Box... "All you need to game" Ok being entirely flippant here but what if someone was just starting out in PC gaming and has no idea what they need? What about RAM, Case, Power Supply, Monitor, KB+M?

False advertising if you ask me...

Thoughts?

RIP logical thinking.

It's going to get buried by pretentious comments on it not being newest hardware and people projecting their personal hardware demands as realistic.

Why the MSI hate, not reliable products?

Their Graphics cards are great, the MSI Gaming is my go too card these days. Their motherboards not so much.

And that's kinda an issue really, the only time I would every buy a board and card from the same company would be if I was going Intel and X299 and Nvidia (in which case EVGA's board looks so sick I would forget how awful their X79 boards were) otherwise I would go Asus board and MSI card unless something specifically catches my eye.
