For just US $449.99 you get a Core i5-6600K CPU with AMD's Polaris GPU .
Huh? :o
While this will get you a VR-ready system capable of pushing most of the games at ultra 1080p and 1440p gaming, according to AMD, you will also get a couple of great games to play once you are done, the new Doom and Civilization VI.

It is rare to see Intel and AMD in the same story. ;D

Was hoping it was going to be an interesting motherboard of some kind with AMD GPU and Intel CPU. Which to me would be a very strange build as for Intel has their Intel HD Graphics anyways so why go with AMD. Looking at the link though I see what it is now a gaming video card paired with a decent i5 CPU and a few games. Combo deal not a complete computer, so I suppose someone could take advantage of this as an upgrade or start of a new build when they round up a motherboard, RAM, and other parts.
I had hopes for an interesting read of mixed AMD chipset and Intel CPU. Its been so many years since Intel and AMD shared a main board. Link here is a list of Intel CPU Boards with ATI Graphics. https://allmotherboards.info/index.php?chipsetMake=558
Maybe ATI was used because it was before AMD owned them for the boards in my link above: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATI_Technologies
