Hate that the companies are trying to move their useless crap by bundling them with gpu. Only way for them to sell the crap they bundled with for MSRP.
edit: gpu on its own shows out of stock, but for some miracle reasons, it can be bought with the mobo.
it may be a 'bad deal' in your eyes, but you're getting the card and the motherboard for less than you can buy the card by itself anywhere today.
Not necessarily. Microcenter has the card at $699.99. I reserved an open box one last night for $640.
I'm not really a fan of forced bundles or modern newegg. That said, I also own an Asus H610M and it's surprisingly competent for a 12400 based budget build with ddr4 3200. Wouldn't hold back a 3070 ti at all. I added some cheap aluminum heatsinks for vrm cooling.

you got a nice deal then. The *cheapest 3070ti* at any Microcenter in Georgia is 819.xx before tax.
Just because a motherboard doesn't have rgb, useless blocks of angled metal strapped all over it and a corny marketing name doesn't mean it isn't serviceable. It's stripped down, but it's got everything I'd need at least. Kind of cute.
The motherboard I got for my current build was just as functional, but cheaper than the one I got 11 years ago. Motherboards have gotten cheaper because the flashy gamer marketing boards have supplanted what used to be enthusiast boards.

Boards like this would be good for something like a 12400. Something that doesn't run too hot or has too big of power spikes. But you would never pair this board with the i7 or i9 that's known for having huge power spikes and draws. They can suddenly go from 60 watts to 200 watts every other second and those sudden power pulls can be really hard on a motherboard that doesn't have proper VRM cooling.

I really feel like patience is gonna be key. A whole bunch of things have happened in recent weeks that's gonna cause cost of GPUs to fall down.
The only way you could justify to make this work is if you built a cheap Intel 12 gen system just for resale. More people are gonna buy a full system compared to the motherboard alone. Make a little profit on the computer if your competent enough and then the GPU upgrade becomes a decent deal for once.
