The higher-spec of our two Core Ultra 5 245K kits

This LEVEL UP Core kit combines a Core Ultra 5 245K with an ASUS Z890 ATX motherboard, 32GB of DDR5-6400 and a 240mm AIO cooler. It differs from the B860 version of this kit in three ways: a Z890 board with PCIe 5.0 support instead of B860, a full ATX layout with four DIMM slots instead of Micro-ATX with two, and double the memory at a faster speed. It suits gamers and creators who want room to add more RAM and expansion cards later. If you want a smaller build at a lower spend, the B860 kit is the alternative.

What you still need

No storage is included, so add an M.2 NVMe SSD for your operating system, along with an ATX case that has a 240mm radiator mount and a power supply. The 245K has Intel integrated graphics, so you can boot, install Windows and use the PC for everyday work through the motherboard's video outputs before adding a graphics card, although a dedicated card is still the way to go for serious gaming. The 14-core chip (6 Performance plus 8 Efficient cores) boosts to 5.2GHz and is rated at 125W base power.
