Seems to work in PC Builder tool and adding manually
Comes out to $378. Supposedly a $10 rebate on the free cooler could sweeten it further.
I bought some Patriot 2x32gb PC6000 DDR5 (no combo discount) since I'm upgrading from a 9900k, came out to about $500 total. Now to find a GPU.

The only non-dead-end platform to buy right now is AM5. The 9900k i bought in 2019 lasted 5 years before I started to feel its age, so while not quite top-of-market for this generation, I am expecting similar longevity out of the Ultra 7 265. As in: 5 years from now, we'll be a socket two removed from current Gen for both AMD and Intel.
