corey0928 Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Posted January 25, 2013 I could order off new egg. Just figured since it's only a few miles away I could just go to micro center
Guest Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 microcenter has cheaper intel (i dont know about amd) processors than literally anywhere else. i'd just buy the cpu there and get everything else on newegg.

Sheena Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 microcenter has cheaper intel (i dont know about amd) processors than literally anywhere else. i'd just buy the cpu there and get everything else on newegg. Confirmed. For every build I've done I have gotten the processor from micro center. Just to touch lightly on amd vs intel. Intel is better. Amd wins at nothing in the real world. Maybe price? But amd is like the hifonics of computers.

beaker Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 I'm always skeptical about buying processors at a storefront that are cheap, mainly because its actually a HUGE counterfit racket.
wellington Posted January 26, 2013 Report Posted January 26, 2013 I bought an ES amd cpu for $80 and sold it on ebay for $250. That paid for most of my rig. Bought that cheap GMC bulldozer case for $20, sold it for $60. Then bought a NZXT hades for $50 brand new (cost me $10) I would still recommend craigslist over anything. And check frys ads weekly to see what they have on sale 2010 HHR LT - DNX 6160 - sony xec-700 - sony xm-4040 for door mids - XM-6020 for tweets in a-pillar - saz1500d v1 - VVME RD-12 1.75 f^3 32hz guru and president of the "cheap asses trying to beat up the block with bargain bin woofers" club
beaker Posted January 26, 2013 Report Posted January 26, 2013 Yeah, I got my i7 920 and EVGA motherboard off craigslist a few years ago for 150, with 6 gigs of ram.
corey0928 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Posted January 29, 2013 Think I'm going to go with this case http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemNumber=N82E16811146093 It's $84 at micro center and $20 mail in rebate making it only $ 64 So i5 3570k for $190 or 3770k i7 for 230?
corey0928 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Posted January 29, 2013 And my local craigslist didn't have anything worth buying lol
Sheena Posted January 29, 2013 Report Posted January 29, 2013 your call on the processor.. i7 if your going to do video encoding and shit like that. i5 if you dont really care about the 10 minute difference it will take to do things like that. 09 Civic EX KDC-X395 (2) SKAR Audio VVX-12 Skar Audio SK-1500.1 4 cu ft @32 (new box and more port soon) Firing Forward not sealed off Stock 80 Amp Alt Big 3 In 1/0 Knu 2 Runs To The Back 1 Pos 1 Neg In 1/0 Knu DD-1'd 13.8v drop
