I have seen an Intel Core i7 920 in a local shop for £25. I know that 1366 motherboards are pretty expensive (and X58 is hard to find) so is this a good price for this CPU? Should I pick it up, or is it not worth it? Anyones opintion would be appreciated, thanks :)

If it's new, as well as if you can actually find a board to go with it.

There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

hmm.. yeah.. I guess you could. If you're prepared to get the motherboard and ram.

They're a pretty good chip (basically an i7 940 underclocked if my memory serves me correctly)

 

I have the 930 on my old PC and it's a decent CPU when overclocked to about 3.3Ghz
