I bought the 10850K just this week (got it delivered yesterday) from the other B&H Photo SD but now I'm looking for a motherboard deal. I think I can do a little better than an Asus Prime so I'm not too broken up that I missed this deal. Are motherboard non-combo bargains offered up on SD often?
Edited: Yeah, I just realized this would have been a good deal. The prime-A is a better motherboard than the Prime-P so I wish I had waited. Oh, well.
Not sure if I should get this and return the 5800x I got and then use the 2600x I was replacing and turn that into a server ( was gunna get a new mobo down the road and make the 2600x a server anyway) but this would push that up cuz then I would need a new mobo.
Worth it or wait until 11th gen intel comes out? It's supposed to come out very soon. This is actually the CPU I had my eye on past few weeks.
No reason to wait. These are CPUs and high performance CPUs as a matter of fact. There's not much more you need than 8c/16t. I'm still running a 7700k in my desktop and it's perfect.

It was just on sale for $337 tho so how it's about a $50 savings factoring that in. its still a good deal. especially if you missed the BnH sale
