Absolutely. While it is a generation old, it's still a top 5 CPU for gaming, and more than enough multi-threaded performance for most users. This build should easily last you 5+ years.

But performance aside, this is a great value. The motherboard is worth around $200, the 12700k $300, and RAM $40. So $540 of product for $350.

As a 13900k/3090/DDR5 owner, if I didn't have the need for what I have now, I would have picked this up in a heartbeat (maybe two!).
The processor will still chew up anything you throw at it and I have the z790 version of that board for my 13900k and it is wonderful; packed with good connections and options.
I'd wait for matching RAM to go on sale and then buy at least one more stick but being that RAM is so cheap now I would rather get three and max out the board.
This setup calls for an air cooler if you want stability. I've got a Noctua NH-U12A for mine as these professors are very hot and hard to tame but that fan is like half the price of this system and I think you can be aas with a lower cost one. I would look at the Noctua D-15.
Get the biggest GPU you can afford and throw it into a Fractal case (I love the Torrent) and you're not only good to go, but you'll lead the pack for years to come.

Just picked this bundle up at the NJ store. Pretty big discount on the i7 and the mobo.

I picked this up yesterday, but didn't know about the $25 coupon. Any chance they'll honor it after the sale?

Hard to say. But you can always ask and if they say no tell them you would like to return and repurchase.

Isn't i7-12700k compatible with DDR5? I also read that it's better to run 2 sticks of RAM than 4 sticks.

Yes it is compatible and you're suggesting that two sticks of matched RAM is better than four? As in is 32gb better than 64g? Not sure why? There are some arguments about those kinds of things but if and when it is applicable, there are specific reasons. But you're not going to get worse performance with more RAM id the same kind but I also wouldn't suggest more than 32gb if you aren't doing shit that requires it.

This board has ok reviews. Wasn't able to manually add another mojo to get a similar discount. Total jumps to full price. The deal with the asus mobo was better.

Just search microcenter new customer coupon. It's $25 off any CPU. You will need a cell number that is not already in there system.

Because they are only 2 channels with 4 slots. There's a high chance they would be out of sync if you use all 4 slots. Especially DDR5
