intel cpu prices going up

[Boogeyman]

idk if its just the one source but i bought a a cpu like 3 weeks ago and looking back at it the price has gone up. just in case i recommend all you new pc builders to hurry and decide on your intel cpu. someone please follow this post up with research cause like i said i only have one source 

[iRileyx]

And what is this one source? Lol. 

 

They might have just put them on sale for a little bit, which even with Intel cpu's isn't uncommon for them to knock like $20-30 off.

Maybe your local store ran out of them and that is why they rised the price a bit?

[Boogeyman]

its online sells. amazon to be exact which is why i bring it up since amazon is usually the cheap spot to buy for deals

I just checked Amazon (UK) and the prices of the 8350K, 8400, 8600, 8600K, and 8700K have not changed in any way.

good thanks for following up 

[Boogeyman]

lol ur build is vary similar to mine but anyways thanks for commenting guys

[bowrilla]

Well, it depends on what you're looking at. Lowest prices? Average sale prices?

 

Looking at the price chart at PCPartPicker for the 8700k, some vendors' prices fluctuate heavily while others are pretty steady. Look at newegg for example: despite a 2-day long jump at the beginning of June prices were steady at $372.99 since the 24th of May. B&H is also pretty stable with slightly decreasing prices. Best Buy on the other hand dropped hard down to $339.99 between 17th and 24th of June just to go back up to $369.99. Looks like a one week offer.

What does specs have to do with knowledge?  Plus, the homophobic wanna be insult has no place here, and shows how immature and stupid you are.

 

If you do have an uncle at Intel, why didn't you just ask him?

 

Go away.
