Intel i5 2500k $199 FS PM @ $169 YMMV

NCIX.com US has a sale on the i5 2500k for $199 FS and I just did a PM to microcenters price of $169. PM went without a problem for me but I am sure its a YMMV so good luck.

Even at $199 its a good deal but at $169 with FS and no tax thats a hot deal. This comes close to the best deal from microcenter when it was $150 since you have to drive to the store and pay tax from microcenter.

Not sure about the hold on your credit card but I found out in an hour or so
of the approval.

Current count is 2 approvals 0 rejections. Maybe people will post their results.

Click the NCIX link and click the price match button. Follow the directions. You will order it at the PM price and check out. If its approved you are done. If not they can offer you a different price or cancel the order. YMMV.

$199 is not a good deal. $199 is the regular MC price for at least the last year!
A dinosaur of a processor for year-old price... tech progress must have taken 100 steps back.
Pretty much all because AMD is screwing around "reorganizing" itself for the last 5 years instead of focusing on making great CPUs that drive competition! What a shame...

I have a 2600k and it is blazing fast; about 9500 benchmark points. THe I5-2500k is not that much slower at 7500 benchmark points.

It may not have 'just come out', but this is an awesome processor, and even better for $169! I paid 299 for my I-7 last fall.
