Bought this last night and had to pay for shipping wtf...
you can sell the game code for $25-35 and get some money back.
10700k goes for $350 now. So you're basically getting a $200 mobo and $60 avengers game for 139.98. Sell the game for 30 bucks, and you get the board for 109.98.
The 3700X is probably the closest in the ball park to this, in general computing terms.
I'm currently all for AMD, but the deal here isn't bad, especially if you know what you want.
One nice advantage Intel has over AMD still is an iGPU in most every chip they sell these days. Also faster single threaded performance. I don't know what the all core turbo is on either chip, something worth looking at and that only Intel has recently been more open to telling folks.
Advantage of AMD is most chips in the Ryzen 7 family and below have a cooler included. It's also not a half bad cooler, any of them really. I finally got off my lazy butt and installed my Noctua cooler (waiting on AMD bracket kit it was an older cooler I had laying around). I also modded my case for airflow and additional fans at the same time and my CPU temps dropped approximately 5-6C in all testing. Now I'm sure some is the new fan so it's hard to say, but I'd put money the stock AMD wraith cooler was within only a couple degrees of Noctua. Granted it's one of Noctua's more compact coolers and isn't a tower cooler (itx case), but they still cool VERY well. The point is AMD knocked it out of the park on OEM cooling solutions so that's a big win for them.
The intel doesn't appear to have any cooling solution in the box.
Also, I didn't even know this existed, but the MAIN reason to buy this decent deal is because the Intel chip is a Marvel series chip (yes, comic book Marvel). WHO KNEW??

It is a fairly reputable mobo, I would not worry about it

Is it to discourage bots buying stuff up?
