This is very tempting.

If anyone here that got one gets buyers remorse, drop me a line.

Can anyone confirm?

Get an i7 930 for $200 instead, at least then you can then get a X58 mobo that has decent PCIe lanes.

Yes, as shown on online catalog.pdf, printed catalog obtained at B&M, and visit to B&M Tustin CA on 21 June and told price is $300. sigh - guess I was a day late.

MC will change the prices anywhere from 2 to 3 times a week for some items... such as this... their website still shows $199.00

their ads don't reflect it on some items.. such as this.

the i920 was $199 for almost the entire time it was offered after the initial couple of months.. it did fluctuate up and then back down a couple of times the last couple of years, but MC always settled back to $199. I'd just wait a couple of days.

p.s. I work during the fall/winter shopping season at MC in the BYO department... gotta love them discounts

Your link points at Core i7-930 Processor Boxed for $199

Not a terrible deal, but it's not what the OP was about. The 875k is a faster processor. The 875k shows as $299 on the microcenter website now.

More PCIe lanes, if you want a mobo that supports crossfire/SLI/USB 3.0 then it's best to get a socket 1366 processor with a X58 mobo.

Alot of articles on this around the net, the i7 875k is socket 1156 processor. It has to go into the more mainstream express mobos which don't have as many PCIe lanes.

When it was on sale till June 20th. It wasn't even listed on the website for $199. It was just in their printed AD.

So probably next time it goes for $199 you'll see it disappear from website again.
