If you happen to live near a Microcenter, you can get the i5-2500k with a good z68 motherboard for about $230 right now. This would negate the $108 mobo above. Note the location box at the top of the page. And then look for the "advertized specials". http://www.microcenter.com

Microcenter has amazing prices on the 2500K, but if you go that route, get a CPU cooler as well
