Intel Core i5 2500K $150/Motherboard Combo Sale @ Micro Center


Micro Center is having a $150 special price on the Intel Core i5 2500K Friday and Saturday only. You can get $40 off certain motherboards too (see bottom of thread). This is an AWESOME deal, easily the best gaming CPU out there at the moment. These deals are in store only. You have to live near one to take advantage of the deal. You can order online and do in store pick up as well.

Confirmed motherboards that work (I recommend going with the GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 probably the best for the price):
ASUS P8Z68-V LGA 1155 Z68 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS P8Z68-V LX LGA 1155 Z68 ATX Intel Motherboard
MSI H61M-P23 (B3) LGA 1155 H61 mATX Intel (DOES NOT OVERCLOCK)
GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 LGA 1155 Z68 ATX Intel Motherboard
GA-Z68XP-UD4 LGA 1155 Z68 ATX Intel Motherboard

It's killing me, newegg was recently giving away two free games with it for $200. And now this. There better be some kickass deals come xmas.

Oh well, my MSI rebate hasn't even arrived yet so I wouldn't be able to buy a mobo it works with for another week or so. I can only hope newegg has good xmas deals (never shopped at newegg around xmas).

Christmas? What about boxing day and just-after-new-year?

Aren't those better times for sales?

Uh, I dunno. Are they? The only thing I bought from newegg around christmas was WoTLK, which somehow managed to arrive at my house two days before the release.

This is the best gaming CPU currently on the market, beating out even $1000 CPUs in games. Only the i7 2600-K is better.

I have this CPU and it is a beast. Love it. I have it overclocked to 4.5 GHz, but have a friend running at 4.9 GHz on air. Should get the deal if you can!

I have one of those also running at 4.2 - awesome CPU! Just picked up new rigs about a month ago.
