Their deals on i5 2500k and motherboards claws at me. Big Grin

Is intel going to release some serious pwnage soon?


Why are these deals so good... z68 boards as low as $50.. i don't care if it kills my processor in 3 years, cuz at $50 bux, i could probably buy a new processor and board by that time. Hopefully still DDR3 Big Grin

Computer market took several hits on 2011, i wouldn't be surprised at folks having alot of stock that didn't move.

Also frys & microcenter commonly offer mobo & cpu sales. Usually this means a 1-2 year old mobo or a model that just doesn't sell well etc. Or they got a good deal on it and passing it onto the consumer etc.

people don't like waiting around, you got your CPU, you got your motherboard.
Memory basically costs the same, as does Hard Drives
only big difference now is PSU and GPUs.
Sometimes MC offers the better deal.

I buy all my computer cases at MC mainly because if i find a problem or something I can drive back for exchange. with online you gotta deal with shipping it back.
