Unfortunately after tax, you may as well just buy one from Siliconlottery.com unless you live somewhere where tax is very cheap. In Illinois, tax brings it to around $300. 

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.

Yeah, Microcenter always has CPUs on the (kind of) cheap.

They make a point in most stores I've been to, to have a giant chalkboard in the DIY PC section comparing their prices to Newegg.

Microcenter will also bundle the motherboard with the cpu which saves another 40$ (usually) and you get a coupon for 10-15$ off ram and sometimes ssd's.

Yes but their mobo selection is very small and overpriced anyway so I rather take the guaranteed to get 4.7Ghz cpu for the same price and get a mobo on discount somewhere else.

Once you live near a Micro Center you can't live without one. And I already know that when I graduate I will only go to a college with a Micro Center within driving distance, and after college the same applies for that as well.

Hi there. Move along, n0thing to see here.

Sometimes I like to go to micro center by my house which is about 25 mins away and just look at everything... So awesome... As said before, their motherboard selection sucks though. When I build my 1st PC I went there wanting a mITX system, got a mATX mobo (they didn't have any mITX for the A10 (yes, ik, very stupid cpu)), then they didn't have any good, cheap mATX cases so I got a mid tower... I was so stupid back then to not want to spend a few extra dollars to get what I wanted. I did get 8GB of $110 RAM though... 2133MHz I think because APU (So stupid).

G3258 @ 4.5 | 8GB Team Vulcan RAM | 128GB Kingston V300 SSD (I didn't know what I was doing when I bought it) | MSI H81I Motherboard | Corsair H55 with Noctua NF-P12 | EVGA SSC GTX 960 4GB | OCZ 550W Fully Modular PSU with Noctua NF-A14 | Cooler Master Elite 130 (Soon to be something cool)

That's not as huge of a deal, they've gone as low as the i7-4790k for $249, which is when I bought mine.

Got mine for that price last October at MC. With with 8.625% sales tax it came to ~$258.62

 

Got it with an MSI Z97 Gaming 5 mobo and the board was only an extra $80-90 in a bundle. 

 

MC is always the place to go for Mobo/CPU bundles.
