Cheap Core i5 2500K Build with ECS P67H2-A5 Motherboard

[DaveB]

And on top of that the CPUs are lower than anyone else: i5 2500K - $179.99; i5 2550K - $199.99; i7 2600K - $279.00. Only one to a customer and in-store only.

Nice! Even when you take tax and gas into consideration, that's still like $25 or so cheaper than NewEgg.

Yes they are!

You can't beat the Microcenter deal with a stick. This week the $50 off is only with an i7 2600K or i7 2700K purchase.

Makes me wish we had one here down south. CompUsa kinda blows; in-store selections are slim at least at mine near the house.

The system was just transplanted into the new Thermaltake V9 BlacX Dual Docking Station with USB 3.0 Case ($50 shipped after rebate) along with the 550W Modular Xclio GoodPower PSU ($55 shipped). The case comes with three fans: a red 120 mm front inlet fan, plain 120 mm rear exhaust fan, and a 230 mm top exhaust fan.

Both were ordered from Newegg. Here are some photos with the side cover on and off.





Also I ran Cinebench R10 and R11.5 with the system at 4.7 GHz just to see the results. The R10 Rendering score of 27188 blows away my old X58 Core i7 @ 4 GHz and my Dual Xeon 5430s @ 3.2 GHz. Here are the screen shots.

Great deal. I wish mine would run on that vcore I need mine set at 1.45 to stop from crashing bf3.

Wow, awesome deal. 30 bucks for a motherboard. Incredible.

NCIX has pricematched Microcenter CPU deals for me twice, so keep that in mind on these CPU deals. In addition, you don't pay tax like you do in store.

Both of the 2600k's in the sig rigs below cost me $279 apiece, no tax no ship, from NCIX on a microcenter pricematch 5 months ago.

Did you get $50 off the motherboard too?

Nope just bought the CPUs
