This is $50 cheaper than the msi z890 edge ti wifi motherboard that went frontpage with the same extras yesterday; though that motherboard was moderately higher end and you could receive a $50 steam code for registering it with msi: https://slickdeals.net/f/18763003-msi-mpg-z890-edge-ti-wifi7-corsair-vengeance-rgb-32gb-2-x-16gb-6000-cl36-50-steam-gift-card-star-wars-outlaws-gold-249-99
You can sweeten this deal a little with the ongoing newegg giftcard promotion (bonus $15 giftcard with purchase of $100 giftcard): https://slickdeals.net/f/18761887-100-newegg-gift-card-15-newegg-promotional-gift-card-100-email-delivery

Hardware unboxed z890 roundup: https://youtu.be/GxzMtPmjG_M?t=2
The ASUS TUF GAMING Z890-PLUS WIFI Motherboard is a midrange full size atx z890 (high end chipset) motherboard. Arrow lake is the first generation on the lga 1851 socket, but unfortunately it's currently looking like future cpu generations won't be on lga 1851, only arrow lake refresh. This motherboard supports overclocking, and has a frankly overkill 16(80A)+1+2+1 phase vrm. Storage options and i/o are rather good. The primary x16 slot is gen5, and there are four m.2 slots, one being gen5 and the others being gen4. For networking it has wifi 7, bt 5.4, and 2.5gb lan.
The ram is unfortunately something of a disappointment, but that's to be expected considering the horrendous state of the memory market currently. Prices have jumped 50% or more, and they're not expected to drop anytime soon. Ddr5 6000mt/s 36-44-44-96 1.4v is middle of the road, not exceptional but not bad. It unfortunately is extremely unlikely to use hynix memory chips (most likely samsung instead), so I'd expect overclocking/tuning potential to be fairly limited. High speed (8000mt/s+) cudimm memory would provide a meaningful performance boost over the ram in this deal, but would also be a few hundred dollars, so nowhere near worthwhile.
I'd personally recommend adding the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K for an additional $240; while this doesn't quite match the short lived iterations combo-ing the 265k(f) with the msi edge motherboard yesterday, it's still an extremely good value.
The Intel Core Ultra 7 265K is a current gen 20-core (8p, 12e) 20-thread cpu on the lga 1851 platform. As an arrow lake cpu, it is not affected by any of the instability/degradation issues of the previous generations. In most respects the 265k performs fairly similarly to the previous gen i7-14700k (it's moderately faster in productivity workloads, but has slightly worse gaming performance when paired with lower speed ram), but the 265k is drastically more power efficient. In fact, the 265k isn't much worse than its amd zen5 competitors such as the 9900x in terms of efficiency. While the lack of an improvement in gaming performance is unfortunate, unless you have a gpu with at minimum rtx 5080 level performance the 265k is more than sufficient. In terms of productivity, it depends on the workload (zen5 slaughters intel in avx-512 for example), but the 265k is generally slightly ahead of the amd r9 9900x. It absolutely crushes any single ccd amd cpu in terms of multithreaded performance. In terms of gaming performance, the 265k is usually somewhere in-between non-x3d zen4 and zen5 cpus on standard udimm ram. The 265k has an igpu for display output (no discrete gpu necessary) and supports intel quicksync (hardware accelerated video encoding/transcoding). A cpu cooler is not included, you will need to purchase one separately.
