Frys B&M combo Q8400+GIGABYTE GA-EP43-UD3L LGA 775 Intel P43 ATX

Q8400+GIGABYTE GA-EP43-UD3L LGA 775 Intel P43 ATX 159.99 - 10.00 MIR 149.99

Seems like a pretty decent deal, I mean really you're just getting a free Motherboard, but its a fairly decent one. If anything you could buy it and attempt to sell it on Ebay or craigslist for double to price. Win for capitalism

Oh and if you're cheap (oops financially challenged) they have a amd x3 425 and gigabyte matx board for 79.99 - 10.00 MIR

as always no promises on if your Frys has it in stock and nothing ventured nothing gained.

I really wish they'd have another Core i5 or i7 bundle.

Still not a bad deal.

I like the x3 425 deal better, seems to be better value vs performance. Not to decide if I should drive down there on my day off.

as usuall there is no frys near enough to me to purchase any of these deals

I know the feeling I don't have any Microcenters near me.

I kinda feel spoiled having a Microcenter 5min from my house an Fry's 10min away.

How does the Q8400 overclock? Wondering if it's worth the upgrade from a Q6600 @ 3GHz.

I'd say not. Not much of an upgrade, IMO.

Less cache, probably a downgrade.

I'd be all over this if it was a EP45. SadPanda(tm).

Sweet, thanks guys.

I had a Q6600, and put in one of these 8400's, Just to OC the heck out of it. I'd say at 3.7ghz It is faster than the q6600. Since my games don't use 4 processors...IF they did it might be worth staying with the q6600

Sweet thanks OP! Just printed the ad off and took it to the Fry's electronics in Tempe, AZ and picked up the combo for my cousin

 

[Jiggz]

(drooling, drooling . . .) I wish. I just wish there is Fry's nearby. The closes one is 150 miles away. I'd love to have that AMD X3 combo for less than $100!

Is this deal still good?

How does one check the prices at one's local Frys?

 

[buzzsaw13]

Typically Fry's deals only last 3 days, so I'd expect the deal not to be good anymore

Buy a local newspaper or see if said newspaper puts the ads online.
