What, the 1 item they are showing on a PDF?
what?
There's only one available (or was available)…
Not exactly ozbargain quantities :)
@redcreek200: I said in the comment they had only had one one and I didn't post it as a deal, I'm just trying to help someone get the cpu cheaper.
Wonder if they have any at slacks Creek qld. I'd buy it for that.
Ummm, its a LITTLE old now this CPU.
So?
Yep, sorry, all "i5's" are the same. Nevermind the generation difference….
It's a good deal for a new PC, it's just not worth upgrading if you already have one.
You're right, though: it's more accurate to think of them all as having identical performance than significantly different performance:

The new gen are faster, just not fast enough to be worth upgrading if you have, say, a sandy bridge from 2011 or better. You're looking at around 15% more powerful than a 2500K (which won't generally translate to a full 15% faster performance in games etc), and possibly actually 10% slower if overclocking (the 2500k had better overclocking benchmark scores)

Good for someone with a dual core g32xx for a pre tax time upgrade.
Better value to buy a gen 6
oh wow thought these would be a bit more cheaper by now.
i got mine almost two years ago for $274 pickup. (i guess i didn't realise what a bargain it was at the time)
runs great.
Two years ago the aussie dollar was worth like 40% more.
oh right that makes a lot more sense.
they have on of these for $229 on clearance at MSY clayton but it may be gone
