There is also a similar discount for this combo with the i7-12700k instead of the 12700kf if you need an igpu (integrated gpu) for display output without a discrete gpu, or if your use cases would benefit from intel quicksync. The product page for the 12700k can be found here, simply add it to cart instead of the 12700kf.

When added to cart with the motherboard (linked above in previous section) combo up savings totaling $59 should be automatically applied, and the promo code PGWDS784 should also be automatically applied to the cpu for an additional $50 off, your total should be $255.97 ($25 more expensive than the combo with the 12700kf).

The 12700kf alone currently has a frontpage deal at $190:
This deal is only $41 more expensive while including a serviceable (though admittedly fairly mediocre) motherboard, and is an extremely good value for a lower end system. If your use cases benefit from an igpu (for intel quicksync or display output without a discrete gpu), the version of this combo with the 12700k is $25 more expensive. If you’re looking to build a budget tier system, this combo is an excellent value.
