Seems like a decent deal. Cpu is $15 off for the weekend and the motherboard is $25 off too. Subtract another $30 for the combo deal and also get a free 1 year extended warranty from the egg. I fell for it (can't wait till the stuff gets here). Somebody stop me before it ships if I'm a sucker. I know amazon is close on price but super saver shipping sucks and no free extended warranty.

I think I'll keep it. Everything I've read so far shows the 3570k neck and neck with a 2600k which is $80 higher. I don't really do rendering or super multithreaded stuff anyhow. Honestly though I didn't really need more cpu power, I just consider it a bonus. I wanted all the features of the board and the cpu. Now my ssd can run full speed and I can control my case fans perfectly with fan xpert 2. Usb 3.0 might come in handy at some point and Pcie 3.0 might matter in a couple years or maybe not. It just feels good to get modern stuff. I'll probably stuff a new cpu in this board after a few steppings and price decreases. If I get my wish a revised ivy bridge with hyperthreading will get to 5ghz at decent temps once they iron out the wrinkles or somebody invents a new type of heatsink that specializes in cooling small chips.
