if you buy a 6700k for that money you are a fail...

just gonna mention usually here things go for more euros than it goes for dollars at your side of the pond.

heres the 4790k as a comparison: https://www.alternate.be/Intel®/Core-i7-4790K-4-0-GHz-(4-4-GHz-Turbo-Boost)-socket-1150-processor/html/product/1143720?event=search

You could pick it up at microcenter for $400 but the cheapest shipped version is $700.  http://pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80662i76700k

PCPP just scans the price from certain retailers.  That's why the prices are always so high.

Yeah its $410 ish on Newegg, apparently that price just isn't showing up on PCP... (Go figure.) 

And the closest Micro center to me is a few hours away.... soooooooo...

or the retailers on my side are actually not douchenuggets.

just to mention, the 6700k is rarely in stock on that retailer, they swing out the door the moment they come in.

they just have a very clear policy on pricing, and dont part from it. making extra cash on parts isnt worth breaking with that reputation.
