I have that board (MSI Z87-G41). Overclocks same as any Z87. Only negative is it has no SLI (it DOES have crossfire though).

 

$219.98 for a z87 MB and 4670k? That is just crazy. That is cheaper then the flipping CPU alone online.

 

Pair it with their cx600m, a GTX 770/280x, a moderate 50ish dollar case and you could have a pretty damn nice gaming machine for cheap.

 

I would try to pricematch the CPU through staples online as well (if you don't live near one). People did it when the 4770k was 199.99 before Black Friday. It's worth a shot. 

 

Anyways hope it helps someone looking to build a machine on the cheap.

 

AMD 8320 is $99.99 there also if you want to go AMD. I prefer the I5 for gaming, but whatever floats your boat. 8320 is one hell of a rendering chip for $ 99.99. :)

CPU:24/7-4770k @ 4.5ghz/4.0 cache @ 1.22V override, 1.776 VCCIN. MB: Z87-G41 PC Mate. Cooling: Hyper 212 evo push/pull. Ram: Gskill Ares 1600 CL9 @ 2133 1.56v 10-12-10-31-T1 150 TRFC. Case: HAF 912 stock fans (no LED crap). HD: Seagate Barracuda 1 TB. Display: Dell S2340M IPS. GPU: Sapphire Tri-x R9 290. PSU:CX600M OS: Win 7 64 bit/Mac OS X Mavericks, dual boot Hackintosh.

:(. My 4770k was $199.99 there the week before black Friday and the motherboard combo rang up as well. I was like 280 with tax for a MB and a 4770k? WTF?

 

Limit was one per house on the CPU. Those things were selling pretty damn fast. I imagine a lot of them were flipped online.

About 3 people in front of me in line were getting in on this deal too. So I got 2x4 crucial for $64.99, i5 4670k $180, MSI z87-g41 $55. Total $324.72 after taxes. Hell of a deal I must say. Saved about $40 on everything but CPU. I know that CPU was marked down too

Is this different than the usual cpu+mobo combos they usually do? I forget what prices they had before

You're really only saving money on the CPU which can be purchased for the same price without the motherboard.

Microcenter has good deals on cpu/mobo combos and cpus alone. Everything else I've found is typically either normal price, or even more expensive (*cough ram cough*) You have to be careful because they love saying something is 40 bucks when in reality it's 70 bucks with a $30 MIR. They aren't too keen on price matching either. Plus by the time you pay tax and whatnot, you aren't actually saving all that much.

If you price match to staples, you can also use a 30$ coupon(72103).

Yup I know a few people that did this when the 4770k was on sale for 199.99 before Black Friday. Won't see that price again till next Christmas. They priced matched through staples online chat for the CPU. 

 

 

You're really only saving money on the CPU which can be purchased for the same price without the motherboard. 

 

The usual price on that mb combo is like 260 something. So you are saving 20 additional off the MB and 25 off the chip. 4670 k is usually 199.99. 4770k is 275, and will occasionally go down to 250. MB deals always apply.

Yeah :(. This is why there is a lot of confusion on AMD/Intel on forums I think. In the U.S. Intel can be really cheap. Abroad AMD is a really good buy. I wouldn't go 8350 over I5 here. Might be much more attractive in another country. If it makes you feel better our dealers mark up AMD video cards to stupid levels. I bought my GTX 770 for 100 less then a 280x. When I check Australia prices for someone they still pay retail on the R9 cards. Hell the r9 270's are up to 200 here now and the retail was 180. The 270x is now almost the same price as a GTX 760 lol.

The 4670k is usually that price so therefore it's basically paying the same price for the regular price.

MC DOES!! price match amazon, tiger direct, newegg,   I bought the tp-link lt-nw1024nd wireless router  and the crudial m500 240gb ssd,  both items cheaper on amazon and they had no problem price matching it.  I'm so tempted to get their cpu/mobo combo but I've read that intel is ready to release the new haswell revision very soon.
