Well, not such a bad deal, if you need the individual parts, but just a strong warning, if you were thinking of this combo for a cheap build, they are NOT compatible. The G3900 Skylake CPU is a 1151 100/200-series compatible, and the mobo is an 1151 300-series compatible. And in Intel's "infinite wisdom" (HA!), they chose to make them physically compatible, but not technologically-compatible (ostensibly, different pinouts).

So, don't complain that I didn't warn you that these two weren't compatible.

Oops!

Newegg made this same mistake on Intel bundles before (especially during the first 6 months after the 300 series motherboard launched).

There are going to be some ticked off people if they buy this combo, and can't get it to work.
