Heatsink not included
CPU model does have onboard/integrated graphics support
So many deals are built around the series without GPU support (such as the F and X series) so this is a noteworthy inclusion here.
Good luck!

As a side note, using ddr4 rather than ddr5 with 12th gen intel procesors does actually have a substantial impact on performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV3fDDL
Overall, if you need a super cheap bundle right now this is an ok deal, but nothing special. If you can afford to wait, I'd recommend doing so. If your budget isn't quite as tight and you need a bundle immediately, I'd recommend the $400 7700x bundle over this one. Even though at $400 it's substantially more expensive than it's gone on sale for in the past, it's still a better value, though once again I'd wait if you don't have an urgent need.
If Microcenter starts shipping, they'll raise prices to cover. Thankfully I live near one and I'll gladly drive there to keep a few more dollars out of Amazon & Newegg.

The 13th/14th gen issue was already patched and warranties extended, there is no "fire sale"

To be clear, the 7700x bundle (with a slightly worse motherboard) went on sale for $350 for a couple of days around half a year ago, and has occasionally dipped down to ~$360-$380 a few times since. Therefore, unless you need the bundle right now my advice remains the same: wait until microcenter has a sale at least somewhere in the ballpark of the previous sales on their bundles.

Too bad the closest Microcenter is 6 hours away.
I can't wait for the new one to open up in the SF Bay area later this year.
Been itching to replace my 15+ year old AMD Phonem II X4 based file server with something more modern.
What would yall suggest for a CPU cooler to keep the 12700k or 12900k at a decent temp (assuming no overclock, no gaming, just typical productivity workloads)?
