Intel Core i5 2500K 3.3GHz LGA 1155 Boxed Processor $100 + Free In-Store Pick Up

wow....will my i5-760 fetch for $99?

Quote from chefjw : Various parts of the price match policy negate any chance of this unless you just get a crazy person at Tiger Direct to price match it.

At the point of sale, TigerDirect.com will match any competitor’s price on identical items (matching manufacturer and model). The item must be in-stock, available for immediate shipment and be in the same condition as the TigerDirect.com advertised item. Price matched items are limited to a quantity of one per household.
For TigerDirect.com Phone and Web customers: At the point of sale, TigerDirect.com will match the advertised price of the product, including shipping charges, against other online resellers. Phone and web customers must call 800-800-8300 to request a price match and supply the customer service representative with proof of the lower price by providing the URL of the competitor’s web page or current advertisement that shows the lower price.

For TigerDirect.com Retail Store customers: At the point of sale, TigerDirect.com will match the advertised price of the product against local retail competitors with in-stock product. Retail store customers must provide proof of the lower price by bringing in a printed copy of the advertisement containing the lower price.

Exclusions from the Point of Sale Price Match Policy: The Point of Sale Price Match Policy does not apply to bundled items, free items, pricing errors, items of service, mail-in offers, offers including financing, out of stock, items offered below TigerDirect.com’s actual cost, or limited quantity items, clearance items, open-box items, and used/refurbished items.
I'm not sure if this counts as a Clearance item, or if it violates any of the other terms.

Quote from krolarthur : IMO, this is a terrific deal. Sandy Bridge does not heat to the higher levels that Ivy is getting at, so unless Intel made their Ivy Processors more robust, Sandy Bridge should have a longer lifetime (this is highly variant on use, and cooling that you use). This also makes Sandy Bridge more ideal for overclocking. In terms of performance wise, Ivy is going to be slightly better. Integrated HD4000 graphics are much better then the HD3000 in the Sandy Bridge (though, I know no one that uses the integrated graphics on their desktop), also the Ivy natively supports PCI 3.0, where Sandy only goes to 2.1 I believe. And of course the Sandy is at 3.3GHz while the Ivy you listed is at 3.4GHz. Hope this helps!

Thanks so much repped

Quote from uio77 : Yes, they will. I just found it in their web site..it will be ordered for store pick up in a couple of days. I just picked up my i7 3770k for $220

did you call? or did you go to store?

Quote from J Macker : the performance difference between the 3570k and 2500k is negligible. I'd buy the 2500k at $100. That's a much better bang / buck. Overclock the 2500k to 4.5Ghz easy. the 3570k may go a little higher

Actually, though Ivy bridge is clock for clock faster, Sandy bridge is able to OC higher

TD is full of it. When I tried to PM a TV, they said they can't because the price was too low to match. What's the point of a price match then?

wish it was for shipping or that they would open up one of these and a frys in louisiana...houston is the nearest for both...

The point...for TD is to piss off customers

Quote from mdboyz69 : I can't find $50 combo discount but only $40 instead.

"items offered below TigerDirect.com’s actual cost"

Maybe its below their cost so they cant do it...

customac anyone? www dot customac dot com - what mobo should i buy for combo?

Hell of a deal for those in the know. Wish there was a Microcenter in Florida. Post up any success stories if you can find anyone that will pricematch this.

Quote from nutsnackeater : "items offered below TigerDirect.com’s actual cost" Maybe its below their cost so they cant do it...

Odd since they had the same sale a couple weeks later.

I actually happen to be heading to Detroit tomorrow and this is a nice upgrade from an old AMD Phenom II 940, so this is EXTREMELY temping. The trouble is that I don't really NEED it, and there are other things that I really could/should put $100 toward.

Quote from ogrod42 : Would BB price-match an in-store offer only? I don't live near any Microcenters..

They show no stock online and no store near me has any. I don't think they have any more. I'm giving Tiger Direct a try right now
