Microcenter had a glitch on their website, this motherboard was listed at $160 (http://www.microcenter.com/single_pr...uct_id=0364085) but when I added it to the cart it was $120 - $10 rebate....weird (btw, if you are looking check your local store website/stock...might work for you)
So Yonkers had 1 in stock yesterday and glitch was still working.....decided to just get it. 2500k was $180 bucks (which is not as good as $150 last week, but better than $220 elsewhere).
Got a nice 750W Antec PS fo4 $60 bucks as well (for my SLI set up, 460GTX OC x 2)
Knowing my luck, Bulldozer will blow away Intel in every gaming benchmark now.
Honestly though, it will give me an excuse to upgrade my 2nd /kids gaming rig.
Anyways, what a difference. For those that have been telling me how E8400 is outdated and my resistance....sorry, you were right.
BC2 and RO2 is SO much smoother now it's crazy. I guess you don't know until you try it.
My CPU was def bottle necking my GPU and some games. With my E8400, even with lower settings and 30+FPS my game felt choppy compare to SB. WOW
