Sometimes I wish I could move back to Chicago from S. Florida...
5GHz was doable but not that common. Nobody is going to remember Skylake. Whoe the f... came out with this name? Sounds like a Bond movie. I wish people stopped posting grandeur statements about hardware.
Best part of living in new york city is that the closest microcenter to me is a 2 minute walk away, being that it is literally down the street from me
I'll a good old fashioned tax-raping to live in the city with the best food and culture on earthSandyBridge is a legend
I assume you're being sarcastic. Taxes and other government fees would rape you so hard that upgrading to the latest hardware would be your least concern. The deal is just ok since sales tax is almost 9% in NY. Better deal can be found online if one is patient enough.

Add the Celly 300A and i7 920 D0 to the list.
As a native New Yorker, there is a ton of variety (and a lot of quality to be had) in food, and that goes hand-in-hand with all the various folks/cultures that have made NYC home, for sure.
That having been said, the cost of living is astronomical compared to most cities in the US (with the notable exception of San Francisco), mostly due to housing costs. Also, the salaries (while generally higher than most parts of the US, as compensation), aren't, from a proportional/percentage perspective, matched to the COI.
There's a reason why if most young urban professionals are in a decent ($50k-80k salaried) job, they are living in:
Want to live by yourself in a pad near, say, NYU/Washington Square/Tribeca/Soho? Better have a TON, and I mean a METRIC TON of greenbacks (which, by the way, would save you a considerable amount over taking out a mortgage; cash is KING here in NYC).
- Small apartments in the outer boroughs (Manhattan/large parts of Western Brooklyn [close to Manhattan]) is just ridiculously expensive, and seemingly requires an $100k - 300k salary just to feel like you are "middle/lower-middle" class, compared to the rest of the US).
- With friends/family (and this is getting more and more common as the COI has increased dramatically over the last 10 years in NYC)
- Rented rooms and having roommates, and even bunkmates (this is very common amongst young women, especially). Rent is split amongst the roommates/bunkmates, with size of room/amenities (like personal bathroom) accounted for in the cost divide.
Have fun!
That's why I live out in East Islip and take the LIRR everyday to the city.
I lived right across from Microcenter in Yonkers until November 2014. As much as I liked Westchester County they money we were paying to live there... hahaha I can buy 60 of those 6700k with the money I'm saving on property taxes. Bah. My 486sx25 would do twice its rated speed with a crap heatsink I attached with dental floss.
But... Italian beef sandwiches and deep-dish pizza!As a native New Yorker, there is a ton of variety (and a lot of quality to be had) in food, and that goes hand-in-hand with all the various folks/cultures that have made NYC home, for sure.

How much is your LIRR monthly?
p.s. I know Islip, it's the place we used to pass on our way to Southampton and Quogue.
