Too bad the gas required for me to drive to the nearest location would eat up all the potential savings.

I wish they shipped... I'm in need of an i5.

Holy crap, can anyone proxy? Going to throw a 3570K into my new gaming rig.

EDIT: actually, for just $200 I would probably just grab the 4770K.

Important note:
This works with the motherboard bundle!

heh :) let me think about it this evening. I think my Newegg Preferred Account is still active. If so, I can just buy my computer parts this month along with your keyboard.

Just be aware that the 4770k is a different socket than the 3570k (1150 vs 1155).

I am 15 minutes away from a Microcenter, could proxy...

All the more reason to just go with their motherboard bundle!

A good thing to note though, as they are not just different sockets but different microarchitectures as well. The 3570k is Ivy Bridge (Gen 3) whereas the 4770k is Haswell (Gen 4).

Just the CPU, or the bundles as well?

You can get Staples to PM online via chat. I was able to apply $20 off $100 coupon as well. Total $196.19 shipped after taxes in Ca.

Probably just the CPU, highly doubt they will match bundle deal offerings.

Put in my price match order at NCIX already, let's see if they're still accepting.

Hrm, my local microcenter's already out of the 4770K.  That was fast!  These sales are always nice.  I got a 2600K for $200 a couple years ago and then a 3770 for a similar price.  Feels great that I can wait another year before upgrading.
