You have to realize MicroCenter stores aren't everywhere. Newegg is. To those of us who have to drive an hour to see a four-story building, Newegg is definitely the best choice.

Yeah, I do realize. All I am trying to do is find deals on tech products and have others help so everyone doesnt spend tons of their time looking for a good deal on a product or the lowest price for a product. This isnt just deals but lowest prices as well. But there are other options besides Newegg in the US. MicroCenter does have on online store and they do ship to the US.
Just for anyone who is curious, here is a list of the MicroCenter retail stores.

Just think about this. If you want to buy a Q6600 and you had the option of paying $200 plus shipping that is around $10 max or $250 wiht free shipping, what deal would you take? I know I would take the $200 plus shipping deal.

That's a good one. That's nearly $20 below the 9450's RRP.

Well, I don't know if it would match up as well in FSX, but the OEM of the E8400 is only $12 more. So, if it ended up not performing as well, I don't know if it would be worth it. Although, it would be a very good buy. I would pick it up if I had the money.

Seeing that it is an E8400 with a different CPU string and possibly a different VID, other than overclockability there's no reason for it to perform any worse.

8800GT $130 XFX:
http://www.newegg.co...N82E16814150278
That's a nice price! Compared to the $250-$300 it used to be, this is like the old price of the 8600s.
