When will the 1156 I7's come down in price?

[AmongTheChosenX]

Down to where the 775 systems are at? I want to do another desktop eventually into my new Sugo 2 case, but I'd rather wait till the prices come down a tad.

Any ideas?

Cheaper boards are already available and the 750 is available for around $200, so the price for an LGA1156 setup is already somewhat similar to LGA775 when comparing higher-end quad core prices. I wouldn't expect the prices of the LGA1156 i7s to change very much until at least two or three months from now.

When the clarkdales later this year or very early next, you'll be able to get a board and CPU for less than $200. Thats about as close as we're gonna get for a while. Maybe even down to less than $160. Draw you're own conclusions.
