Remember that ludicrous Gigabyte bundle that mixed the company's most outrageously expensive motherboard with a cherry-picked Intel Core i9-9900K overclocked to 5.1 GHz? Well, it's finally available, if that's your particular kind of beach, and the pricing is better than was expected. Solo, the motherboard sets you back $999, while a cherry-picked Intel Core i9-9900K at 5.1 GHz would set you back some $939 in houses such as Silicon Lottery. However, Gigabyte have confirmed that the bundle pricing for these components for the US stands at $1,699 - which really isn't too shabby, if you consider the motherboard to have sufficient bang for your buck.

Of course it can play Crysis, but only at 10-15 FPS on a 480mhz monitor, but ONLY when paired with 4x RTX 2080ti massively overclocked Founders edition GPU's, 256TB of Ram, and a 50000W quadruple railed hyper-plutonium spec'd PSU....

Sorry, I could'nt resist either :)

Ermmm...no it is a very bad deal and you mostly pay for RGB lights, with god knows what software issues their control app comes with, and a worse in performance than standalone waterblock...
Even at $1,000 it would still be a bad deal....

Performance gains of the "cherry" picked 9900K are not significant at all vs getting a retail one + custom waterloop...waste of money.

You are far better off getting the Aorus Z390 Extreme (for the extras) + 9900K + Standalone Waterblock (can be used at future build) + extra custom loop components.
