You can get the same cpu and motherboard along with 16gb of ddr4 3600 cl18 ram (better than the ram in this deal) for $148.69 using the pc builder tool. Here's a link to a build list: https://www.newegg.com/tools/cust...vvhfAdGmpU
The price will show $169.99 in the build list, but will drop to $148.69 in cart with all promo codes applied.

Could you please link directly to the RAM kit? I can't figure out which one it is.
Edit: I figured it out. It's this kit.

All three items must be added to cart through the pc builder tool for the 10% savings to apply. The build list I linked in my original comment already has the three items, you can just add it directly to cart, and the price will drop to $148.69 for the cpu+mobo+ram in cart.

I have a Windows 10 computer that I use for standard household stuff that I built years ago, I'm not into gaming. Components have migrated in and out as things broke or needed upgrade. I'm currently facing the Windows 10 sunset and my component won't support Windows 11. I currently have a mid tower case and a GeFore7050 MicroATX motherboard and a Radeon HD 5450 graphics adapter (PCI Express 2.0x16 bus interface). This bundle is way overkill for what I need but on the other hand $150 seems like a reasonable cost to get my hardware upgraded to support Windows 11. Should I be concerned about purchasing this bundle?

Mobo is OOS
Edit: LMAO. Mods banned me from reporting deals as expired. The MOBO is out of stock. Are we really doing this?

Love reading about nForce motherboards. I think I still have mine from a similar upgrade!

Examine your power supply. You may want to ensure that you have an ATX CPU 4+4 power connector. Your current motherboard only requires a 4-pin connection, but your new motherboard is likely to require an 8-pin connection. Plenty of older power supplies implemented support for this as a split 4+4 connector. Though you're unlikely to be drawing loads more power than your current setup with something like the CPU in this deal, a power supply too old to have the necessary connector might warrant replacement before this kind of upgrade.

Also consider that you might want to ensure that your existing Windows setup is registered with a Microsoft account. If you register a Microsoft account with your Windows 10 installation this should qualify you to reeceive continued security updates through October 2026. More importantly, when you swap your motherboard and CPU this registration will facilitate reactivation of your Windows license.

Lastly, once you have swapped your motherboard/CPU/RAM you will have at least one more key hurdle to clear before you are eligibie for an automatic update (via Windows Update) to Windows 11: converting your storage and BIOS mode from legacy operation (MBR) to UEFI/GPT. You may want to backup your storage, but assuming you have plenty of space on your drive:

Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
Validate the conversion: Type mbr2gpt /validate /allowFullOS and press Enter.
Convert the drive: Type mbr2gpt /convert /allowFullOS and press Enter.
Change BIOS to UEFI: Restart your computer and immediately enter the BIOS/UEFI settings, changing the boot mode from "Legacy" or "CSM" to UEFI.

Good luck!
Jon

Thanks for your helpful response although it looks like the motherboard is now OOS but I'll be ready to act if another deal shows up.
My power supply crapped out in 2008 so I replaced it with an Antec Nee HE550 550W power supply which appears to have enough power and the correct connector.
I already registered my Windows 10 computers for ESU and I also have the product key for my Windows 10 Pro purchase.
Thanks again!
