This deal is like paying $500 for RAM and get CPU and board for free.
By the way, MC starts forcing people to show photo ID and sign no-export paper when buying high end PC and PC parts. I dont know how MC defines the high end parts.

Finally got it built earlier this week, very pleased with the 270K+ - good upgrade from my aging (albeit still capable) Ryzen 5900X which was starting to hitch/stutter in games. Everything's buttery smooth again with the 270K+ and it's got performance headroom for days. Multithreaded perf is over 2x what it was before, and single threaded perf is over 1.5x.

Why did you choose this vs AM5 which has an upgrade path ?

The 270K+ is a pretty good chip from a 'real world idle' efficiency standpoint as well as being a highly performant chip overall. It will likely eventually upgrade my old i5-8600K+ server setup and a CPU/mobo that sip power @ idle/near-idle loads is important for that use case, as is having integrated graphics onboard, which many AMD chips do not (or did not) typically come with.
