The combined kit here means you'll end up paying just $280 for 32GB of DDR5 RAM, which is around $100 less than the cheapest DDR5 RAM kit you can buy right now. You're also getting the Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus in this PC build bundle, one of Intel's latest releases, and arguably its best CPU currently on sale. After plenty of underwhelming releases, the 270K Plus delivers gaming performance that is almost as fast as the still-popular Core i9 14900K, while rivalling the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X for productivity workloads, but at a much lower cost.
Gamers are pretty skeptical of Intel gaming performance these days, but the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus is genuinely impressive, and right now, it's one of the best CPUs for gaming. Buying it on its own for $319.99 would be good value in itself, even if it's $20 above its launch price, and that's down to the performance you're getting here.It can match AMD's rivals at this price point for gaming, going toe-to-toe with flagship competitors that are twice as expensive when you're looking at single or multi-threaded performance, as the CPU benchmarks below show. Yes, it isn't an AMD X3D rival, but it's also much cheaper, and a CPU at this price point that can offer gaming performance to rival the Core i9 14900K is a worthy one to consider.
