Full description and specifications

A 20-core Core Ultra 7 265KF on an ASUS Z890 board, with 32GB DDR5-6400 and a 1TB Gen4 SSD already included

Quick Specs

  • CPU: Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF, 20 cores, up to 5.5GHz
  • Motherboard: ASUS Z890 chipset, LGA1851, ATX
  • Memory: 32GB DDR5-6400 (2 x 16GB)
  • Storage: 1TB Gen4 M.2 NVMe SSD, up to 7,450MB/s read
  • Cooler: PCBuilder Hydro Chill 240mm AIO

Five core parts for a high-end LGA1851 build

This LEVEL UP Core kit bundles the processor, motherboard, memory, cooler and boot drive, so you only need a case, power supply and graphics card to finish a gaming or creator PC. The Core Ultra 7 265KF has 20 cores (8 Performance and 12 Efficient) boosting to 5.5GHz, and the ASUS Z890 ATX board adds PCIe 5.0 support, four DIMM slots and 2.5Gb Ethernet. With 32GB of DDR5-6400 and a fast 1TB SSD, it handles gaming, streaming and editing comfortably. It is the only kit in this LEVEL UP Core range here that includes storage.

Important: a graphics card is required

The F in 265KF means Intel lists no integrated graphics for this chip, so the motherboard's video outputs will not give you a picture. You must add a dedicated graphics card before the system can display anything. If you want to start without a card, the Core Ultra 5 245K kits include a CPU with integrated graphics. The CPU's 125W base and 250W maximum turbo power also mean a quality PSU and good case airflow matter. The ATX board needs a case with full ATX support and a 240mm radiator mount for the AIO.

FEATURES:

  • 5-in-1 kit: CPU, motherboard, memory, SSD and AIO cooler
  • Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF with 20 cores and up to 5.5GHz Max Turbo

Questions

Before you buy

What comes in this upgrade kit?
The kit pairs a Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF processor and 32GB of memory with a matching motherboard, chosen to work together out of the box. The exact parts are listed under Specifications above.
Will it drop into my existing PC?
The board in this kit is LGA1851. You reuse your case, power supply, graphics card and drives, and swap the motherboard, processor and memory together. Two things to check first: that your case takes the board’s size, and that your power supply is still adequate for the rest of the system. Send us your current parts list and we will confirm before you order.
Is it in stock, and when will it ship?
This one is out of stock at the moment. Stock does come back in - WhatsApp us on 079 491 0181 with the model and we will tell you what the supplier is showing and let you know when it lands, rather than leaving you to keep checking the page.
What does delivery cost, and how long does it take?
We deliver by courier anywhere in South Africa, and delivery is R180 on orders under R2 500 and free on orders of R2 500 or more. It takes 1-3 working days to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and areas within 100km of them, and 2-4 working days to areas more than 100km from a major centre, counted from the day the order is dispatched. Need it sooner? Express delivery is 1-2 working days for R210, or R150 on orders of R2 500 or more - choose it at checkout. We do not ship outside South Africa.
Can I collect instead of having it delivered?
Yes. Collection is from 11 Voortrekker Avenue, Edenvale, Gauteng, by arrangement - message us first so we can have the order picked and waiting. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday.
What warranty does it carry, and how do I claim?
The warranty period for this product is listed at the end of the Specifications section above. Claims go through us, not the manufacturer - contact us with your order number and a description of the fault and we will handle it from there. Separately from any warranty, the Consumer Protection Act gives you six months from delivery to return goods that are defective, unsafe or not fit for their intended purpose.
What if I change my mind?
You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind - longer than the seven days the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act requires. The item needs to be unused and in its original packaging, and we pay the return shipping. Refunds go back to the payment method you used, within 30 days of the return reaching us.
How can I pay?
Payments are processed by Stitch. At the last step of checkout you are taken to Stitch’s secure page to pay, and brought back here once it is done. Your card details are entered on Stitch’s secure, PCI-compliant page and never touch our systems.
