Just buy it, better than the MC $200 bundle. Faster than a 8700K, as fast as the 12100 budget builds I do for customers still. It can handle a RTX 3070, if you don't mind used that are still around $225, or 9060 XT if you have to have new. Find the DDR4 locally, or used online. 2x8 GB goes for $40-50 right now. Do not pay $80-100 for NOS DDR4 from retailers...

Excellent deal! But RAM will take the savings you get from the CPU and MB 😁

At least it's DDR4 though, which is somewhat affordable used via eBay.

- Processor does not have integrated graphics, so you'll need a GPU
+ Includes stealth cooler in the box (i.e. cpu fan)
could make for an interesting budget build if you have DDR4 ram, GPU, an SSD laying around

In for one for the wifey. This setup is perfect for her surfing and shopping. Already have 16gb of DDR4 still laying around. Just need a simple GPU for her. Thanks OP.

Excellent deal for a budget platform. You can actually run a moderately powerful GPU with one of these and do just fine.

Gotta take advantage of these deals with the RAM/storage prices being what they are.

How can it work without a disk drive and a GPU? Not to mention finding a girly case for her, and assuming you are activating Windows over mass grave.
He said he was getting a gpu and he could put linux on a usb drive which would work fine for surfing the web.

Get a 2080ti for 230 on ebay and you are set.

Are you sure about that? The MB has to support it as well...

For those who don't already have ram, you can take advantage of the pc builder combo loophole to add 16gb (2x8gb) ddr4 3600 cl18 for $80 ($186 total). I go into detail in this deal post: https://slickdeals.net/f/19453446-amd-ryzen-5-5500-6-core-cpu-asrock-b450m-ac-r2-0-matx-mobo-16gb-team-t-force-vulcan-z-ddr4-3600-ram-185-99?p=183832311&newthread=success#post183832311

How do you know she needs "girly" case? And why would you need activate Windows?!
