Looks like a good deal to me. Can any PC expert comment on this bundle please?
if your building a pc this is a pretty good build tbh. Just make sure to install windows 11 as 10 doesn't optimally support e core scheduling with 12th and 13th gen intel cpus.
Should I buy or wait for other deals? Was planning to get the 13600k, but this combo is at least $100 cheaper.
Id wait, this is the 12700k and the 13 series is alot better. I just bought a MSI PRO Z790-P WiFi for $150 and the 13500 cpu on amazon for $209 for a total of $359 which is close to the bundle minus the ram. Im geting newer tech for about the same $$. Benchmarks show the 12700k and 13500 very close together. In gaming the 12700k would probably win with overclocks, but not by a huge margin.
The cpu is still in stock, the motherboard is out of stock right now, but ive seen it pop back up here and there with a late july ship date.
If you want to over clock stick to the 13700k or spend more and get the 13900k. I have a 10900k as my gaming pc. I paid top $$ for it when it was new and i dont see the need to upgrade for a while. For gaming its better to upgrade the GPU more often than CPU, so if you buy the 13900k or even 13700k I bet you wont need an upgrade for > 5 years easily.
