Core i7

when they first came out... the max I would have paid is $300... which I did.

I was able to get one off of ebay for @$225 with the live cashback mid december.

now the max i'll pay is $230.
ps.. i work at mc parttime.

and if it ever comes under $200... i'll buy another.
can already get the mem from newegg trichannel 3gig kits for $65.
now just need a decent sub $200 motherboard to go with it.
 
Yeah the boards are WAY too pricey, and here the Core i7 is quite tough to get a hold of even, and if u can its like $300+ if i calculated correctly which is INSANE, i will pay bout $200 for that CPU
 
in terms of performance it's about on par with a Q9xxx maybe slightly better. So I say it's about $300 in my mind, although I wouldn't pay that much for a cpu. get it with some type of sale you can probably have it for less than 250.
 
I paid $295 at newegg but got a free intel back pack and free shipping so its wasnt so bad.
Now though I dont think I would pay more then $225 for this cpu.
If it ever drops to $200 or below I may grab another one just for shits and giggles..
 
have to compare equals. Q9550+ is/was higher priced than the i7 920. Microcenter has the best price I've seen, which makes the about equally price again. EX58-UD3 is $200-

Easily justifiable if you can use an i7. In my case the diff was around $200
 
Who cares what the actual I7 CPU costs, as long as a mobo and ram cost 300 more than the same DDR2 and C2Q mobo I don't think many people will consider the I7 platform.
 
Yeah, but what if you don't have a Microcenter near you? Is there anywhere online you can get it for under $250?
 
Guys.....How much is the MB and RAM for this CPU going for at MicroCenter?


Can I build a monster gaming PC with this new I7 chip with one of the newer Radeon graphics cards all decked out with HD, Case, Power Supply for $1000 or so?


C'mon guys...let me know, Im ready to drop some cold cash on this thing right now!

Can we say, OFF TOPIC?

Make a new thread and maybe I'll answer your question.
 
I got the 920 for $200 with the ebay live cashback, MSI X58 board for $180 with newegg 15% off + live cashback, 4gb DDR3 1333 for $95 from newegg.
