2500k Pricing

It looks like Microcenter prices are up to $250 from what I can tell. Newegg has them for $225, while Frys is showing $220 + tax. Are there any good combos currently out from reputable vendors?

Awesome, any idea approximately how long this price will last?

To give you an idea, not too long ago I remember the Q9550 still being the bargain price it sold for before.

Microcenter cpu loss leaders are generally for the most of the life cycle of that model. There will be times where it goes up (those usually last about a week or two) and they seem to happen later in the model life (as in continuously on sale for the first few months then spurts of temporary price increases.) It will stop being on sale when the next gen cpu loss leader is for sale.
