Its MIDNIGHT (East Coast at least) WHERE's the Ks???

[Hogan773]

no seriously I'll bet someone else is hitting Microcenter website every few mins to see when they pop up.

 

[mnewsham]

newegg wont have them til West coast 12am i dont think, and Micro center said you cant reserve online (at least the one where i called earlier)

 

[zod96]

That is exactly how Newegg does it. They go by west coast time, so 3 more hours...

 

[Hogan773]

Oh then good night - I need some shuteye!

I wonder where Newegg will price them out of the chutes.....I'll guess $239 for the 2500k and $339 for the 2600k.....just a guess

Maybe the Microcenter prices will make them honest but I'll bet Newegg doesn't care that much about Microcenter in-store promos. Only so many geeks that will be siphoned by that, vs all the others who will order thru Newegg

Tiger direct has them..

Tiger direct has them..

They sure do. :whiste:

 

[zod96]

Got my 2600K and Asus P67 Pro ordered....

 

[CosmicMight]

Well, off to TD then. I just mapped out the route to my nearest MC, it's an hour each way minimum. Still worth it I suppose, but I definitely want to see the online pricing...

Newegg:

$225 i5-2500K http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115072
$330 i7-2600K http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115070

 

[zod96]

I got the free shipping and no sales tax so it was $499 out the door. I sold my old system for $300 so it was about $200 to upgrade...

WTF Newegg doesn't have the Maximus IV

Any cpu/mobo combos yet?

[Castiel]

It's release day.. there will be NO combo's

 

[mnewsham]

Update: you can now find them on newegg by searching (you couldnt at first)

Ok so for a gaming rig I hope to last close to 3 yrs...

2500k and GTX570 or 2600k and GTX570?

 

[Castiel]

I went with the 2600K because i'd regret it if i went with the 2500K

 

[Castiel]

BTW - No EVGA Boards.. Meh

Gaming? I'd save the 100 bucks. How likely in 3 yrs are they gonna write games that take advantage of hyperthreading?

That seems to be what I am hearing...

For gaming, would you go so far as a 2500k and a GTX580?

That would make a nice rig for certain.

 

[Jumpem]

I'd rather save the $30 and just get a 2600.

You can't optimize for Hyperthreading. The more optimized your program is, the worse hyperthreading performs.

 

[Anomaly1964]

For GAMING, which is better, 2500K or Vanilla 2600?
