Picked one of these up today for my Zwift PC build, felt it was a really good deal on a mid tier CPU.

Sorry, was my first post! Will remember to do so in future.

I should have also mentioned that this CPU is a "F" version meaning a separate graphic card is needed to run this CPU. "K" means unlocked and overclocking compatible but such activity is best left to hardcore performance optimizers. Take it from intel that they do more QC testing to release unlocked K versions that can operate under hotter temperature, stress etc so overall you are getting a "better lot" than standard CPU without the "K". However, this is not a CPU you want to overclock as there is far little to gain overclocking an i5 than i7 or i9. Always snap a photo of the numbers on CPU box before throwing away- FPO as "Batch#" and the ATPO as "S/N" on the box of your CPU for RMA purposes.

To bad it's the F processor (no eGPU). Amazing deal for gamers that will add GPU though.

At least you're getting one! Many of us either don't have one or not too close to make worth while for these deals.

Some gamers including me may want an integrated GPU for their second monitor to ensure that gaming performance on the first monitor is not compromised.

I would love to see some stats on this. I'm assuming you plug secondary monitor into motherboard?

I am hoping to do a computer build for a golf simulator in the not to distant future. Based on these packages, are you pretty much (from a hardware perspective) left needing a ssd, gpu, power supply and case?

Correct. In a addition to that a CPU cooler. It doesn't look like this CPU comes with one.

Yes, I got this package. It does not come with a CPU cooler, but there are good ones like Cooler Master that only costs $16. Contains thermal paste too! So long as you are not going to overclock they work amazing.
