For time's sake, I'm going to shamelessly link to the Slickdeals page for the deal.

According to the comments, this may be only good for the next 30 minutes, so get it while it's hot. $50 off a brand new CPU ain't to bad.

Same price for the 8700k if you prefer Intel. You have like 2 minutes to order though.

Damn, the app keeps on bugging out when I enter the code and apply it.

Decided against it. Came out to right about $300 shipped. Not sure if I really need the two extra cores, my 1600 @ 3.8GHZ does okay right now. Would XFR 2.0 boost that to 4.3 GHZ on an X370 board? Using an AS Rock X370 Killer SLI/AC.

From what I've read, 2700X will hit 4.2-4.3GHz on an X370 mother board - not sure if it's via XFR or manual overclocking though.

On another note - glad I live near a Micro Center. 2700X + X370/X470 motherboard was getting a $50 bundle discount on launch day and is pretty much the norm (i.e. always some sort of $30/$40/$50 bundle discount).
