Imagine how pissed the people who bought it at the original price are right now!

First thing I thought aswell :D

PS: comparing Intel to AMD is not rly possible.. you see how much Money Intel raised? with thier workstation Grade extreme CPU's? see how much money they got to do researches? thats all things missing for AMD right now. THe only way they could get out is to somehow kick Intels best seller's ass with a beefy OC'd CPU which is cherry picked

CPU: Intel i7 4790K @4.8GhZ  CPU Cooler: Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 2  Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97 UD3H  GPU: Asus ROG RX 480 8G OC Memory: 32GB Gskill Ares 2400Mhz  Storage: 2x Crucial M4 512GB SSD (raid0)  / 1TB Seagate FireCuda SSHD Case: Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA P2 750W  Operating System: Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB (64 bit) Other: NZXT Hue+ LED Controller with 8 LED Strips for desk and PC lighting

you may need a beefier mobo, linus did a thing about this saying low-end mobos with crappy vrms will just fry lolol

 

Yea the 220 TDP is a slight issues but I like a challenge LOL

 

Will wait to see if ASUS brings out a FM3+ ITX then i can finish my insane Lian Li Train Case Build.... But currently the new Intel ROG ITX is looking good for that, but its not epic enough for comedy value, as the FX9590...

Lian Li PC-V359WRX Micro-ATX Case | Intel 5960X Extreme 3.00GHz | ASRock Fatal1ty X99M KILLER | Crucial 32 GB 2666 DDR4 | Thermaltake NiC C5 | EVGA Supernova 1200W P2 | 2x 240GB OCZ Radeon R7 | 2x 256 GB Samsung 840 Series Pro | 2 X 120GB Samsung 840 EVO | 6x NF-F12’s | Place Holder GPU R9 290X |

I think they realised people weren't falling for a cherry picked $250 CPU for $1k...

well they fooled you

not really. i did it with the intent to be a consumer towards a company i very much so enjoy. because i wanted to support them. it also helps that it gives me good performance, and i don't cry every day about a 2 fps difference in video games.

Yes a Sandy Bridge-E.......but how old is that chip know. IvyBridge-E is coming out soon probably and will hopefully perform really well.

perform really well, as in 5% -10% better, its just a die shrink not an architecture change.....the difference will not really be much

You're still paying £150 for an overclock, I guess some people are fine with that.

you're paying $150 for the binning, not the overclock.
