    why would you use tigerdirect? they suck. use newegg...

    better yet, do you have a microcenter nearby? they had the i5 750 for something like $150 here in Dallas last week.

    Now the 775 is clearly surpassed as benefits from the socket i5
    so the choice for those who buy now obliged to i5 or i7 :rock:

    I would choose one from either Gigabyte or Asus, simply pick the one that has the features you want/require and that suits your pocket, they generally o/c the same...

    Fry's in-store deals are generally pretty amazing-
    Their ad today had a PII 550 BE with a mobo for $130.
