Microcenter has the Intel Core i5 2500K OEM processor for $139.99 and unlike previous deals this is NOT in-store only.

Fortunately, I have a local Microcenter so I just could pick it up at the store and save shipping but I thought this was a good deal for someone who doesn't have a Microcenter in their area. I would get this if I didn't already purchase the 2500k from Microcenter for $99.99 in-store only a while ago.
If I were to buy this processor and have it shipping to me the price would be $139.99 + $5.99 flat rate shipping + tax = $164.01.
Newegg [newegg.com] has it for $219.99 - $20 V.me by VISA + free 2-day shipping = $199.99
Amazon [amazon.com] has it for $209.99 + free super saver shipping + tax = $227.32

If I hadn't already bought a 3570K on BF at Tigerdirect B&M for $150, I'd use this to upgrade my HTPC. Now it's my HTPC & Gaming system... all the steam deals are awesome!
To verify, I checked MC's website-
By stating that in such a manner, you have become a fanboy yourself :0
Edit: Was that $100?
Now that this model is almost 2yo though, MC might be trying to clear them out?
Still a top-of-the-line processor going on benchmarks though... Definitely the best bang:buck ratio.
