Probably this is worth it, though personally I would never pay so much for a motherboard however flash it looked (^ ^). This bundle includes an I5 CPU and a 256 Intel SSD (while stocks last, they say)
You may be able to get £30 cashback from MSI (see comment by phillipgeorge)

To be fair no worse than Razer charging twice the price for the pretty lights on Chroma editions. I don't see the point of lighting up stuff you're not looking at like a night club but some love it.

Probably not so much to save on here - It's about the right price for the Z270/7600k Bundle. I'd say the real deal is in the free SSD, but if it really is whilst stocks last then this could be pretty average by the time stocks expire.

I paid £250 for my last motherboard, but in fairness it was a workstation model with dual socket 2011s, 8 DIMMs, like 7 x PCI-E 16x, 14 SATA ports etc: Asus Z9PE-D8 WS
Not sure why a regular desktop board's worth that much.

This seems like a good deal, I think I might go for this.
Ive waited too long lol I had a look online and can see that if you were to buy this motherboard and cpu seperate from elsewhere then its working out at £429. I looked elsewhere for a similar bundle and found a Gigabyte z270 +intel i5 7600k one thats overclocked and ready to go for £389.99, but that is just motherboard and cpu, no ram or ssd.
Hmm Im thinking its better to go with this one and claim a free SSD.
MSI Boards good?

This deal doesn't include RAM. I'd say your i7 deal sounds like a better deal long term - Where'd you see it?

Seems to be an MSI deal - you can buy an M5 or M7 board and it comes with the SSD (while stocks last) because Novatech have the same offer without the I5 but with the SSD

I didnt mention RAM? I made a typo , it was an i5 bundle.
The other deals I looked at was just the motherboard+cpu bundle, no ram or ssd. However I have noticed that the free SSD offer is from MSI, so for those that dont need a new cpu then they could go to novatech, amazon or any other site and buy the motherboard and claim the ssd from MSI.
I also looked again at buying seperate but still working out to cost more. Box.co.uk seems to be the best price for both the cpu and motherboard together.
