    However if you are going to order the i5/i7 2500K/2600K/3750K/3770K I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend you look into getting them from Microcenter (espcially if hey are near one). You will pay tax etc but Microcenter has the BEST deals on CPUs and Motherboards 24/7 365/366.

    If you bundle a 3750K/2700K/3820 with a select Motherboard you get $50 off.

    See this link

    3570K =189.99 + tax

    2500K = 169.99 + tax

    3770K = 289.99 + tax (I bought mine there for ~301.65 with tax) glad i live near Microcenter

    Yeah as KJ said it's a steal so why not?

    I checked the Micro Center website and I like the processor price but the RoG board don't seem to be on it, so if he can order it off that site will get it from them or the one Bnova posted (NCIX) cause that site has them cheaper for real. Just hope there is no catch.

    NCIX may cause you to incur international charges (extra?) for fee conversion... US branch but apparently billing is done in Canada.But NCIX is a great place to buy from. If the person lives near a Microcenter they maybe can get better deal instore.

    I live in Jamaica, so the lower pricing cost will more than likely go to the shipping fee to get it to Jamaica.

    Thinking of getting the 750 watt PSU instead of the 1000 watt but still contemplating .

    The reason I asked about the PSU is because want a PSU to be more efficient at your average use. So for most PSU if the average power usage is under 20% it wont be as efficient as at higher power usage. But I just noticed that it is a Gold certified. PSU so I guess you should be fine.

    I'm also building a new rig as you can see on the page before this one. Are you getting your parts from Amazon as well?

    after watchich his trailer I realise that I'm gonna need a bigger boat if I want to run it like that im thinking either to crossfire what I have now or get a 3GB card the $GB might be overkill (in price and power draw)
