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

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.
