Centrecom have a sale at the moment and they have a great price on this CPU. Staticice closest price to this is $395.00

Currently it seems they have stock at their Clayton and Elsternwick stores only. Unfortunately it is in store pickup only.
Hope I have posted this right.
sorry oops, I had to correct the title this cpu is the hex core not a quad core.

    Should I get this one or the i5 4690K ?

    • Vmeisterkun on 14/10/2014 - 20:46

      What do you do more? Gaming or editing (video etc)

    • silent1 on 14/10/2014 - 20:49

      You'd be hard pressed finding the right mobo for the 3770k. You need a Z68/Z77/P68 board to overclock and these are rare unless second hand.

      If you already have an existing socket 1155 mobo with a pentium or something it may be a good upgrade option.

      But otherwise get the 4690k.

        3930k uses socket 2011, not 1155

          The title was originally 3770k. You posted just before I edited the post.

  • hamwhisperer on 14/10/2014 - 20:47

    I would've thought this would be a better CPU?

    The link says 3930?

  • Schniz2 on 14/10/2014 - 20:53

    i7 processors have hyperthreading… 4 physical cores, 4 virtual cores. Better for things which can utilise multiple cores (eg video editing as vmesterkun said). i5 is fine for gaming.

      This is a hexacore. So 6 + 6.

      You can count the number of applications that will actually use more than 4 cores on two hands.

      3ds Max and VidCoder are some of the few that I have seen that will tax all available cores to 100% for rendering or encoding.

      Seems to have changed to a 3930k which has 6cores/12threads.
      Great buy since these used to be $600 but the motherboard chipset seems to be a little dated.
      - Non native USB3.0
      - Only 2x native SATA3.0 etc

      Compared to Sandy Bridge, Haswell is about 15% faster clock for clock.

    I'm always amazed how people talk about CPU's with such certainty when they have the wrong model number! 3930k = Socket 2011 CPU running on the Intel X79 chipset., 6 cores 12 threads. 3770k is a quad core, 4 core 8 thread CPU.

  • chnach on 14/10/2014 - 21:20

    Why do they not do shipping for sale items?

    • ozhunter on 14/10/2014 - 21:24

      Probably don't have much stock.

    Looking at these benchmarks:

    You would be better off with the newer $275.00 i5-4690k from MSY

    • chriaj2689 on 14/10/2014 - 23:28

      I personally never go for a CPU based purely on benchmarks. A lot of your results can be improved so much by changing one component. Personally I think I'd go the LGA2011 but it's not the most economical.

      • smoke87 on 15/10/2014 - 09:11

        Prove it. Because you are otherwise talking out your rear end.
