Ok, so you save $10, buying the CPU and mobo together. Big deal, right?

Well, the mobo currently has a "free gift" too, an 8GB stick of DDR4-2133 Avexir brand.

So you can get CPU + mobo + RAM for $430. Not too shabby.

I was thinking of getting this, if I hadn't already spent too much this month on some other tech items. The general idea is to just deal with the 8GB of DDR4-2133 single-channel for maybe six months, until prices on 2x16GB DDR4-2800/3000 kits drop, then replace the RAM.

I bought one of these as well.
I was planning on getting it even without the free ram
Does anyone want it for $35 shipped?

Is there any point in getting the Skylake K series CPUs? Doesn't seem like they OC worth a hoot.

As long as the difference in price is reasonable, why not?

You may not believe this, but lots of people don't OC.
