^Huh, I was not aware of that processor being so good. Is that a recent release? It's pretty sweet. At least a 50$ value over the next best thing.

Still, that value is only really seen on this processor. Everything below is comparatively priced, and in most cases intel performs better.

It was originally released at the start of August, however, they just recently released a revised version with lower TDP.

Also, with AMD, motherboards are generally cheaper - and, if you're really wanting to save money, you have the option of using older, cheaper DDR2 memory as opposed to more expensive DDR3.
