Microcenter i5-4690k $179.99

[ccman]

I've been watching CPU prices over time. Microcenter is selling an Intel Core i5-4690k for $179.99. It was $219.99 from 11/9 - 11/19 then $189.99 from 11/20 - 11/23 and today is $179.99. I'm interested to see if it drops further.

i7-4790k is $250 now that is a deal!

Even if it cost you $20 in gas to drive to a microcenter. <strike>Also note, they pay for your sales tax on i7 processors.</strike>

EDIT: Looks like I read the email wrong, its i7 "laptops" that they pay sales tax for.

You're right! That is a better deal. I wish I could edit the thread title. Same trend: 11/9-19: $299.99, 11/20-23: $259.99, Today: $249.99

and again, save $20 with a compatible motherboard.

That's a great deal for the i7-4790K. I bought mine @ MC 6 months ago & scored the CPU/MB bundle. I love mine & the Gigabyte Z97 Gaming 5 MB as well. MC is a 35+ minute drive to Cambridge, MA. for me. Tax here is 6.25% It's worth the trip.

Same price as last year too. I was wondering if it would hit 225-200

Where do you see that they pay your sales tax on i7 processors? Is a promo code needed?

Looks like I read the email I got from MC wrongly, its i7 "laptops" that they will pay sales tax for. Sorry about the confusion.
