Honestly, I would wait for another month. Intel is releasing the Ultra 2 refresh mid January 2026. The refresh fixes a few of the issues the Ultra 2's had since being launched. I am waiting for the refresh and I am sure Micro Center will have similar deals. I hope lol

265KF is without integrated graphics (which is why it's a bit cheaper than 265K).

"Free" game with Intel purchase is 1 of:
-Battlefield 6
-Assassin's Creed Shadows
-Sid Meyer's Civilization VII
-Dying Light: The Beast

Game offer ends Jan. 31, 2026, per the OP's "Learn more" link:
https://www.microcenter.com/MiniS.../main.html

You can upgrade any bundle to 64GB CL30 for "only" $400 more than the 32GB CL36 bundle price, lol. https://www.microcenter.com/produ...00z30-gray

That's a great idea, I am hoping the refresh is released early or mid Jan 2026. February, might be too late, prices will definitely get more expensive.

Good price if you need new CPU/motherboard/RAM. Basically like getting a free motherboard.

Is there a good resource to understand how to strike a good balance between CPU and graphics card? On how to choose one to avoid throttling one or the other as much as possible?

oh, they're doing ram bundles again?

guess they finally figured out nobody's buying other parts if they can't get affordable memory to go with it.

I almost did a similar deal in October but I wound up with 9800x3d combo instead.

Keep in mind these combos don't come with a heatsink, so plan on another $40+ on a decent dual tower / dual fan air cooler like the Peerless Assassin or the CM Hyper 620. I've used both and both are decent. Liquid cooling is not really necessary as long as your case has ok airflow.
