yes, but i can't find a price on that bundle or board, i am sure the processor cost just as much if not more, at least this way, its really up to date.

the way x79 boards are going now i would say between $350 - $500 your not going to really find it yet, it was just announced on the 3rd it seems.
CPU would be:
3930k = $599
3960X = $1049

the cpus don't come with any heatsink/cooling so your going to need that too.
whats is your current setup?
