Pretty decent deal for a S2066 CPU from Amazon.

** Socket LGA 2066
** Compatibale with Intel® X299 Chipset
** 6 Cores/12 Threads
** Max Number of PCI Express Lanes 28

Intel provides International warranty so should any issues arise you should RMA directly through them. My last Intel CPU RMA (~4 weeks ago) was completed in a 7 day turnaround (with Intel covering all costs).

6 left in stock (more on the way), so you can backorder for the same price once the current 6 sell out.

Cheapest local store stock is MSY @ $509, so a saving of ~$90.

  140w tdp and $399 for the cheapest motherboard at PCCG.

  Better off going intel 8th gen i7.

        @BlitzR:

        No, the higher up in the X series you go you're primarily paying for extra cores/threads which doesn't really benefit gaming. Go for an 8700k if you want the best gaming CPU currently.

        @airal3rt:

        That's not really good advice - cause you've just suggested the X series have extra cores which don't really benefit gaming, but you've also recommended the 8700k when both the i7 7800X and the i7 8600K are 6core/12thread processors.

        But yes, you are right - 8700K has the 7800X beat in gaming as it has better single core performance. Additionally, motherboards are cheaper for the 8700K as you're not buying into intels expensive HEDT x299

      its from intels previous gen HEDT platform

      which has been largely made redundant by Ryzen and Intels Coffeelake (8th gen consumer)

        @BlitzR:

        Actually, my bad - 7800X is X299 and is current gen HEDT (only came out mid this year)

        But it's a weird CPU with no real place in the market. Intel was sort of scrambling earlier in the year, as AMDs Ryzen caught them a bit off-guard and shook up the market.

        No one in their right mind will pay $500 for this CPU, coupled with an expensive X299 motherboard (cheapest are over $400) when the 8700K has it beat in gaming for less, and ryzen 1700X has it beat in multithreaded applications (rendering, editing etc) for less.

        @ILikeBargenz:
        If people want the PCIE lanes there may be a reason for it.

        Not a great value one regardless though.
