Great info - not sure why you got TD'd. I picked up the 3600/Gigabyte Motherboard combo at Microcenter for $130 and just finished up a build for my nephew, using a RX 6600 that was ~$202 AR, Whole...

I went from an 11600K + Z590M Prime (also Micro Center combo from about this time last year) to the 12700K + Z690 TUF combo... but I used the 11600K combo to upgrade my UnRAID server, so it was a...

DDR5 is more compelling with the free DD5 w/ AM5 CPU deal at Micro Center than buying separately anywhere else... at that point, a 7600X + 16gb RAM + B650M DS3H is about the same price as the 12700K...

I'd bite on any of them if I was near a MicroCenter, but 2 hours away so I'll wait until my next trip to Detroit. Need to replace my 4.6Ghz clocked 4790k, but she's still hanging in there with a...

If you can get it, I'd go for the 12600K combo for $10 more... same/similar performance but at least there you have somewhat of an upgrade path (13700K) if you ever need it. If not, this is still a...

Everything looks bad compared to the recent $250 12600k+mobo deal. I'd pass on this if you think that'll pop up again.
BTW, I got mine after BF and the KC store had a bunch left in stock.

They have a 3600/b450 for $128. Slap on a $360 6700xt/6750xt for an affordable 1440p setup.

You are absolutely correct about the review but the main difference is availability. This i7 combo is available at most stores while the i5 combo is sold out since BF. Source: me finishing my new pc...

I think the combo linked below (if it's available) is considered a better deal (even if it's ~$10 more) since it's a newer gen. I think the I7-1100K may have been the subject of Gamer's Nexus "Waste...

I just bought this, can’t seem to find a better combo deal that ships before Christmas. Should be good for a mid level gaming rig…I hope.
Need to travel an hour away, and pay tax. But still...
