So i missed black friday. And i hope that the belated streamroller release next week triggers some price movement from Intel (chances of that happening?)

But I'm looking to but a new Haswell chip and board but can't find a seven board for under one thirty delivered.

Since its unclear whether Intel's next chip will run on lga1150 I'm inclined to cheap out on the mobo a little.

Don't see an appreciable price difference between z and h chipsets right now so might as well z.

But question is what is the next day that there will likely be some good sales?

Don't care if they (MicroCenter) lose money as long I SAVE money... :)

There prices are just better, believe they do in-store to get you in the door to buy the rest of your system along with the CPU....

Intel has no competition in their Highend CPU's. Their prices won't move much, even after the Haswell update or replacement. They have a $300 / $500 / $1000 CPUs and they haven't dropped a dime (really) since release.

Drive to a MicroCenter store, you can save money over NewEgg on CPU's in-store......

Yeah at this point that's the plan! lol was just hoping to see some movement after steamroller pops out... maybe not much but hey some better than none. tax eliminates half the discount... 15bucks off woo....t.... lol

I'm just hoping to get an i5

is microcenter selling them at a loss or something?

and if it wasn't for tax eating the discounts and then some (on the non-cpu parts) the tactic would for sure work on me.
