This is an ok price for a $200 cpu and $100 motherboard. 279.99 with tax comes out to be $303

Which reputable dealer is selling that CPU (retail) for $200???

Look all Im saying is thats a ok price for it, but not hot. i was a bit excited that it was Dragon Ultra board which is worth $150, but the Lite is only $95 or so.
I have a Starwood Amex with BVG and Im in California, so for me its best to buy from a other state reseller with cheap to free shipping and no tax and pricematch it down to californian resellers who sometimes have it cheaper, but you got to pay 8.5% tax

Whats best for me may not be best for you

vladgur,

Noone is disputing your reasoning, but Yo2 would like to know where to get similar pricing from a reputable dealer.

Edit:
Here's one example

Did you check pricewatch? Googlegear is at $205 for the same cpu, retail boxed, with 2nd day Fedex shipping.
