It was already one of my favorite budget gaming CPU's, but this is just a steal. It has similar performance to an Intel i3 3220, which costs more than double. It's $40.00 off at the Micro Center for In-Store purchase. Definitely something to consider for anyone who's building a budget gaming PC. The only decent con I could find with this is that the Power Consumption is a bit high.

Define "near." Because I live near a MicroCenter, it just depends if I feel like driving 6 hours to get there.

tbh. i almost bought a 4130 over the G3258. but the motherboards are shit in the combo deals.

 

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=9083393&CatId=14 that seems like a ok deal but the motherboard is shit and the reviews on the headsink suck too

The best combo deal I've seen has got to be Newegg's G3258 with the MSI Z97 U3 Plus mobo. That was fantastic. I picked on up myself and sold the mobo so I basically got the cpu for about $30. For a friend's build, that deal was gone already so I had to settle for Microcenter's bundle with the MSI Z97 PC Mate mobo and trying to sell that mobo now.

Well... Off for a little swim... Across the Atlantic ocean... Just to get a cheap FX 4130...

Never trust my advice. Only take any and all advice from me with a grain of salt. Just a heads up.

True, but those people that are in the States it's only a matter of how far are you willing to drive and is the gas still cheaper than ordering online.
