If you are thinking about putting together a high-end gaming PC, now might be the best time to buy an Intel Core i7 Haswell processor and maximize your budget, because Intel is offering three free games, one of which is the upcoming highly anticipated latest installment in Avalanche Studios’ action-packed open world video game series, worth more than $100 to those that purchase qualifying Intel Core i7 processors or devices that are powered by one.
Players can claim this game bundle using the Intel Enthusiast Game Voucher that will be provided to them with the purchase of a qualifying product. Upon entering the master key from the voucher on Intel’s website, players will be able to download the games. World of Warships is actually a free-to-play game, but the American chip maker claims that their Enthusiast Game Voucher has a value of $124.98, with the game being marked as having a worth of $50. So it is likely that the game comes with $50 worth of in-game items, credits, or premium account benefits. Here is a break down of the total voucher value:
Counter Strike: GO ($14.99 Value)Just Cause 3 ($59.99 Value)World of Warships ($50 Value)Intel has not provided specific details about the products that qualify for the game voucher, however, it appears that Newegg and NCIX have a number of Intel Core i7 Haswell processors that include this game voucher. The list includes the high-end i7-5960X and i7-5930K as well as cheap i7-4770 central processing units. You can see the list of processors that have been found to be available with the game voucher on Newegg below, courtesy of LegitReviews. It is worth mentioning that New Zealand-based retailer Playtech is offering the game voucher with Core i5 Skylake processors, so apparently this promotion is not limited to Core i7 chips only.

Intel Core i7 Haswell processors still cost a good amount of money, but this addition of free Enthusiast Game Voucher that is worth more than $100 surely seems to be a good deal.
