Very solid, while its not technically the best, its still a near top of the line gaming CPU for most people at an absolute steal of a price.

For example, the best gaming processor you can buy a 9800x3D ($460 CPU only) is only 8% faster at 1440p with a 4090, 3% at 4k. Only at low resolutions with a flagship GPU (aka unrealistic scenarios for most people) will you really see the difference. The Core Ultra 265k is +50% faster in multithread and is more power efficient, so it pulls ahead in other ways while being cheaper.

The closest comparison at this price would be the 9600X ($210+$80 DDR5) and by far is the 265K the better CPU.

At this price, with free RAM, the 265k is the obvious buy if youre looking for a new build. A lot of old reviews will have been comparing products at MSRP but this is essentially a 50% discount... So it completely changes how you perceive the CPU. If I didnt already have a build from last year, I would be jumping on this personally.
Blind brand loyalty like this is sad.
You can combo this with a z890 board to get an additional $80 off plus another free game. It seems very hard to beat this value. Great deal.

Good deal but I'm scared buying from Newegg, remember they been selling refurbished and even not working products as new, once you send them back for refund they claim you break it and keep the money and the product, multiples reports everywhere, reviews Google Reddit YouTube you name it, I just don't wanna be the next one.

Is there anyway to redeem the games without the "required" hardware being present?

Yeah. Newegg was great in the early 2000s but has gone downhill significantly over the years. Nowadays, I don't buy any computer parts from Newegg. May be the tax software but that's safe enough. I am lucky to have a microcenter close by so I just go there for my computer parts needs. Never thought I would say this but I miss fry's as well.

For gaming is this a solid processor/ram combo or is it better to go with AMD?

Solid choice unless you're rocking a GPU faster than a 4080. I run a 7800X3D at home but just built a new 265K rig for the office. AMD's BIOS quality is still somewhat immature compared to Intel.

I bought a similar combo when it was Assassin's Creed and Civ VII. The AC did some kind of hardware verification but I don't remember the Civ doing so.

FWIW CL 36 is Samsung chips while CL 30 is Hynix if that matters any to you.

FYI definitely get the latest BIOS which should be last month for most motherboards and enable the 200S Boost unless you are totally into manual overclocking. DM me for any questions on this.
