You won't even have to spend $500 with this amazing Intel 270K Plus combo bundle deal

With this combo bundle deal, you save $250 over what you would have had to spend in case you bought standalone products.

Building a PC is hard in these times as discounts are few and far between. They mostly tend to run out of stock fairly soon after reporting on them, though we do have a couple of GPU deals still on sale in the form of the 8GB Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti at $380 and AMD RX 9070 XT at $700 wherein you also get a very capable PSU with it.

Let's say that you are building a whole new PC. In that case, the new Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus, that we reviewed earlier this year, is currently in a bundle with a Z890 motherboard and a 240mm AIO liquid cooler, all for just $436 (purchase link under the specs table down below).

Our benchmarks showed competitive results against Intel’s Core Ultra 9 285K and even AMD’s more expensive Ryzen 9 9950X3D in several productivity workloads, while gaming performance also showed noticeable gains. Compared to last gen, the Arrow Lake-S refresh processor supports faster DDR5 memory and more.
