I'm a first time builder, but this seemed like a good deal to me. Walmart has the 8700K at $313 before tax right now, so if you subtract that amount from this, you're still paying $287 for a motherboard that's lowest price has been historically around $180 and RAM that's ~$160. That's basically at least $50 savings, plus no tax/shipping from Newegg.

I don't know about the reputation of this mobo, but it seems great if you're ok with 3000mhz RAM imo.

EDIT: Now that this has hit front page, please don't flame me for this not being a "frontpage worthy deal". As people have pointed out, prices will go down over time but for people that want to buy this week or something this is probably pretty good. I also realize that this is at best a modest deal and not a "slick" deal, but it saves a lot of hassle of looking for the lowest price of all the parts and doing mail-in-rebates if you needed all 3 of things in the first place.
If you purchase something through a post on our site, Slickdeals may get a small share of the sale.

Comparable price if purchased elsewhere for me in CA.

Newegg charges taxes for CA:
$647 for me after taxes

Compared:
8700K from wally: $313*1.08 = $338
Asus Mobo: B&H photo = $179 if purchased when they had the android pay $10 off
RAM: ~ $150

Total = 338 + 179 + 150 = $667.

So price-wise, you are saving $20 (around 3% of purchase value) and a lot of searching for deals if purchased separately. But not super crazy slick deal IMO.

I think if someone can wait until mid/late this year to build, everything will be much better priced.
1) Crypto currency might wane off and GPU prices might lower.

2) Intel will have new mobo chipset for their new CPU which doesn't have exploits and will be higher demand, meaning Intel Exploited Chips such as Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake stuff will be cheaper

3) RAM manufacturing will get better yield and prices will lower if you believe the RAM manufacture about why they are raising prices.

Again I can be wrong in some or all of these predictions, but I think so far, prices can only head down.
Raise your hand if you don't need, but want...
Wow, this is a pretty crazy deal. All these parts are high end... $300 for CPU, $150 for MB, $150 for Mem. Can't even buy the parts that cheap separately.

The ram is expensive, same kit was $130 onsale last yr freequently. I think the board is overpriced also. So with the discount its very average price.

Doubt its worth it for most, but it will outlive ryzen that is for certain

Why will it outlive Ryzen?

Debating if I should buy this bundle. I assume it will be a decent upgrade from my i7-4770k Asrock z87 mobo? If I can sell my old bundle for $200 (cpu/mobo/ram) then $400 doesn't sound like a bad price. Decisions decisions..

It's about $20 less than the items I already had in my cart at the time, but one of them had a $15 MIR. So it's basically $5 savings and it's an unlocked processor, which I didn't have before.

RAM (and GPU) prices specifically have risen a TON due to crypto currency mining. I paid $80 for 2x8GB DDR4 about 2 years ago. This is a pretty good deal if you're in the market for high end gaming PC components. I have the same MOBO and CPU in my new build. Would recommend.

Price for you may be a savings of only $20 off the best prices you can find, while for most people it'll be a savings of over $60 (Newegg only charges tax in 4 states).

Also, no one ever recommends a PC parts purchase off needing it later. Prices almost always go down in the long run (with the exception of graphics cards for mining where the price is unpredicable), so you buy now because you need something now or very soon.

Great deal.
