Thank you! Have been looking for this. Just bought my 3770k.

I see a few on Amazon as well. I'm looking for the 3450S or 3550S and it looks like newegg is the only one with a 3450S.

EDIT: Microcenter is the way to go:

$290 for a 3770K.

EDIT: Might be sold out at microcenter. I can add it to the cart but when you look in your cart there are no items.

Exciting night for sure. The PC Gaming market gets a huge boost overnight!

Got a 3550 on the way! Along with 2 x 8GB of Patroit memory


Almost pulled the trigger on a 3450S and I'm glad I looked on Intel's site first. The 3450 and 3450S don't have VT-D support which is half of the reason I'm getting this setup. Also decided it wasn't worth it to get the S model since at idle all version of the processor are basically the same. The only thing you're trading off is performance when the CPU is maxed out. http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/cpu/31...o-head/?page=5

Now the hard part is finding the right board that has VT-d and at least 1 PCI slot on it.

Yeah i saw the microcenter deal but it 120 miles form my house round trip, between gas, tolls, I just let the newegg ship.

It already shipped shows it in Edison, NJ which is not far from me. Hoping I get it tomorrow or Tues the latest.

It's for replacement of my server. I'm currently running a Q6600 on a 780i board along with a TV tuner and a bunch of VMs. By switching to Ivy bridge it should cut the power draw in half which is around $100 a year just by changing rigs. (It's 24/7)

The hard part is that I want to switch over to ESXi but without VT-d you can't operate a tv tuner. I'm running my VMs on top of Windows atm so anytime I need to restart for updates or an install of something you need to bring down a ton of services...

I picked up the Intel DZ77GA-70K for a board. It has 2 PCI slots on it, dual Intel GBe NICs, and plenty of PCI-E slots. What will be really cool is if I can get it all working and pass through a video card to a VM. If that works then I'll run Windows 7 and use an HDMI extender to hook that up to a tv using this: http://www.monoprice.com/products/pr...seq=1&format=2

Any plans for that Q6600?

[Bman212121]

I'm not sure yet redeemed. If I decide to sell one of my Q6600s I'll let you know.
