At $500, this Intel Core Ultra 7 bundle with free extras is the ideal foundation for your next PC build

Building a new PC can be expensive, particularly when you start adding up the cost of individual components, but Newegg has a useful bundle that combines Intel's Core Ultra 7 270K Plus processor with a Gigabyte Z890 AORUS Elite WiFi 7 Ice motherboard, a free MSI 240mm liquid cooler, software, and a game for $500 (was $580).

• Best for: PC builders putting together a high-performance creative desktop, particularly those planning a white-themed build.

• What we like: On its own, it's a great combo, but Newegg includes a number of promotional extras. There's an MSI MAG CoreLiquid A13 240 Black liquid cooler, valued at $72.49. This features a 240mm radiator, two 120mm ARGB fans, and compatibility with Intel's LGA 1851 socket, so it's suitable for the bundled processor.
