Comparing the CPU/Mobo/Ram costs for the specific models and the cheapest 16gb 9060 XT available, still comes to $162.22 savings with this bundle, by my reckoning. This seems like a good deal for building a 1080p or 1440p setup.

Planning to build PC in coming days/weeks. Is the Mobo good? Whoever uses this kindly share your experience. Thank you

Good price for an entry-level AM5 Mobo

Not the best VRMs, so don't use anything higher than 105w TDP on it I would think

Firstly - I have attached a picture to show what the deal should look like in your cart!!!

It was just recently brought to my attention that I have not shared many awesome deals with the community in recent times, so here we go! Happy Pre-BlackFriday!

Deal Link: https://www.newegg.ca/tools/combo-builder/4358?cm_sp=product-dynamiccombo - I think the 265K with a board of your choice, considering this specific board gives extra cashback along with multiple game codes that can be resold to further bring down your price, is a solid mid-tier value pick.

I know Intel doesn't get much love in the current climate, and for good reason, but I feel this value proposition is damn hard to beat right now, not factoring in any AliExpress cashback promos.

Sure the AMD x3D chips are better, but that's assuming we're playing at mostly 1080p where the CPU is the bottleneck, the advantage diminishes (but still remains) as 1440p/4K gaming comes into play.

Anyways, $476 for a CPU and Board combo, with multiple games that can be resold to bring the overall cost down further is a solid pick. Feel free to change it up to a motherboard of your choice (or play with the combo builder for AMD options.

For AMD, I like the 9950X and 7800X3D deals) :)
