this is the cheapest i5 3570k i found on ebay

it is listed as brand new and free shipping

so is $216 a good price?

 

i know i know a common mistake that ebay buyers make

they dont read teh sellers feedback

I can get the 4770K at Microcenter for $250.

Well if youre not into overclocking just get a simple locked i5 4430 and a H81 board. You'd be missing like ~ 20% performance.
 

 
CPU:  Intel Core i5-4430 3.0GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($180.49 @ Amazon) 
Motherboard:  Gigabyte GA-H81M-H Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($39.99 @ Newegg) 
Total: $220.48
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

Most people I've seen with unlocked cpu's don't even overclock it at all or have it in mind but seems to be never happening. Nvm he already has one.
