Same with my 2600K and 4790K's
The value on offer with these blows periods where nvidia and ATi or AMD and intel competed clean out of the water.
Don't be a fool Greg! intel is lulling you into a false sense of security since they became the only CPUs worth buying in 2006. They are waiting for the right moment to spring their monopoly trap!
It is only when there are only worthless used AMD CPUs for sale that the other shoe will drop and prices will go through the roof!
As long as there are a couple worthless new AMD CPUs to be had intels monopoly has held at bay by the fierce competition they represent.
BTW- I hear they're putting a new heatsink on the 2011 motherboard chipset they're still using. Nothing has happened in motherboard tech in the last 4 years- you'll be fine.
