A good majority of Mobos have onboard video now, so a GFX card is not required, but it seems silly not to get one cause its will be a vast improvement over the onboard in all situations.
No doubt. Specially cause I need several computers cause even one with the highest end stuff barely does labor like video editing. I just wanted to be able to buy parts slowly over time. My last main computer probably had $5000+ pre inflation cost parts easy. I used parts I collected over decades (I'm sure that's $1000 in cables n stuff I'm Including.

I had the devils 13 gfx card in that which was about the most expensive rarest card there was (never buy the highest end new an rare stuff stuff ; it's not compatible often.) that card costs more than this kit here itself by far. Hell I was gonna crossfire the devils 13 making it a $2000-$3000 gfx card if I used 2 or $4000-$6000 if I used 4. But due to it being as rare as it was ; nothing supported it so definitely didn't crossfire it.

What are people's thoughts on this bundle compared to the $400 i9 12900k bundle? Seems like this one has slightly better mobo and cpu but worth the extra $100?
I got both 12900k bundle and this one 13700k bundle from microcenter in the past 2 weeks.

Here are my thoughts:

1. Asus board is better. I had issues with not recognizing nvme and slow boot time with MSI board. The MSI's default voltage is too high and causing high cpu temp, especially with enhanced turbo on. No issues with asus board although you need to get a nvme heatsink since it's not provided with the board.

2. I undervolted both CPUs. Set offset -0.070 and -0.05 and power limited 125w and 120w pl1/pl2 on 12900k and 13700k respectively. 12900k lost about 12% and 13700k lost about 18% in multi thread but the temperatures are <65 c under benchmark and still about 10% faster than 13600k. Gaming temp is around 50-55 c. Overall 13700k runs slightly hotter but still scores better than 12900k in multi thread.

If you are buying for gaming only, just get the 12900k. It's a lot cheaper and the fps is almost the same between these two CPUs.

I'd say the exact opposite. Onboard intel graphics are great for anything short of gaming, they're "free", and they use less power. I haven't used a graphics card in years because they are just going to turn unnecessary amounts of electricity into heat for 99% of non-gaming scenarios.

Previous FP deal (linked in the post) said i7-14700K, this one is i7-13700K. Not to nitpick, but it's a different product, just mentioning this for accuracy.
Damn, you are right. I've been watching for this CPU and I think mentally I've made the 14700k and the 13700k the same processor.

Just to confirm, wasn't the previous deal for an i7-14700K? The previous deal link didn't work for me but the post listed the CPU in the bundle as:

Intel Core i7-14700K Raptor Lake 3.4GHz Twenty-Core LGA 1700 Boxed Processor (Heatsink Not Included)


The current deal and link posted here is for an i7-13700k. The CPU listed in this deal is Raptor Lake 16-Core Desktop Processor.

I'm not too familiar with the deal or computers but just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something?
You are right, I got ahead of myself. Fixed the post.

$50 less; MC should do the same price on 14700k combo.

This motherboard is not great, there is a review showing significant dpc latency and weak ish vrms, I would just get the 7800x3d deal for 499 instead of this. I got one and used curve optimizer and tuned the ddr5 6000 timings and subtimings substantially where productivity for everyday tasks is faster than this cpu.

Speaking of MicroCenter, any idea if the new North Carolina store will have huge grand opening discounts similar to when they opened the Indianapolis store last year?
Can't say for yours but other than some cheap SSD's I don't remember much else that really caught my eye with the Indy opening.

The Indy one also had 4TB HDD WD Blue drives for $25 and a DeepCool CPU cooler for like $20. Along with some other random stuff I got. There may have been other things I didn't get because I only happened to be in town visiting family

No link and an AMD fanboy in a Intel thread. Who'd of thought?
