Microcenter B&M: i5/i7 Z68 Motherboard deal. $40 off any board with 2500k, $80 off with 2600k!

Nice setup u got there. Add another 570 for SLI in the future if ur a gamer and your system will be blazing. How much you get the Hyper 212 for? Looking for one myself.

SLi is the plan, eventually. Got the hyper212 at MC today for $23, but have gotten one for $15 from SD before.

Thx for the info. Btw I got the same deal a couple months ago for mobo CPU combo & Microcenter will email you 20% coupons off any GPU,s PSU, or Tower case. You can combine those coupons on any sales they are having to get some really good deals. It take a week or two to get the email coupons. I got real lucky and got a EVGA GTX 590 Classified limited edition from them for $510 + tax after sales and coupon. Getting ready for Battlefield 3.

For anyone interested, I am combining this with many of the deals I have found on here, including: Antec 300 Illusion case Coolermaster Hyper212 CPU Cooler Antec 750-Watt Gamer Series PSU Crucial M4 64GB SSD EVGA GTX 570 (couldn't find a very good deal - got free Arkham City though!) 8GB Kingston HyperX

How do I go about getting this deal? I don't see anything on their site....Is there a coupon code or something I can use?

OP posted this deal as a B&M sale ... so you need a Microcenter store within driving distance. I would be all over this, but closest store is almost a 400 mile round trip drive.

Man you let my hopes down! I didn't understand why my m4 deal alert triggered when I saw the title of this thread. I mean I saw them have m4 but it wasn't a good deal! Nice setup!

Ahh thanks, didn't notice that. Looks like I'll be heading to the one near me in the morning! Repped!

Earlier this month I jumped on this deal thanks to SD, which I thought was only Labor Day but it turned out to be all month at B&M. I bought the i5 2500K and the Gigabyte Z68-UD4 board. I currently have the 2500K OC'd to 4.5 GHz and am idling around 25C with an Antec Kuhler.

I bought parts for an entire PC build in preparation for BF3 but then I one by one I found better deals on Amazon and Newegg. Alas, I am returning the case, RAM, GPU and a BD-R burner to Microcenter. Damn you never ending deals! Damn you to all the way to the bank....

Microcenter has been giving Newegg a second place seat on a lot of deals. I just completed a build that I expected to be 100% Egg-parts, but as it turns out the Egg only got the PSU, Ram, and BR burner.

I found better deals then Newegg on everything else at my local Microcenter... sometimes by a LOT. I put a 2600k in a Gigabyte z68ud3 also... and I'm extremely happy with the system (so far).

As a plus... something you guys may not have thought about... is you can BIN your own processor if you go in person the B&M store. I'm not sure how much there is to all that... but if you google a bit you'll see that people seem to be finding better samples from different intel plants... From what I found online, the "costa rica" facility was the one to look for... and it was as easy as saying, "can I look at a couple of these?"... and the salesman let me pick a "costa rica" from a shelf that was mostly "malaysia"...

If you order... you get what you get... which probably doesn't matter, but if it's free to grab one box vs. another... why not?

Half of my parts are NE and other half MC. It really depends on which day you get it and if you are waiting for deals to happen to purchase parts. The price of parts will always change so there will always be a better deal down the road which could probably delay building your computer.

I've seen this deal (CPU-Mobo combo) for weeks. Not new at all. Mobos at Microcenter are still high comparing to Egg not to say you have to pay tax at stores (in my case). Still waiting new more deals now till BF to build my new PC.

also jumped on this deal two weeks ago. Microcenter b&m is good if you want instant gratification and product exchange due to incompatibility.
