Well call me crazy but I didn't expect to buy the processor this soon but it was a price I couldn't turn down and after Monday, they said they are raising the price back to $12x. So, unfortunately, I don't have a motherboard to put this processor in currently. What can I say...I'm an impulse buyer when the price is right. I'm waiting for the price of the Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-UD4H to drop to $100 so I can buy it. Or I might impulse buy around $110 -$120 but the price keeps fluctuating on Amazon.....one day it was $136 the next day $125, the next day $134.83, 4 hours later $134.13, and so on.

Amazon seems to be the only place that has this board in stock as well. Well that's not true....

Mwave has it but with shipping it's $131.57
Fry's has it in store for $99.99 but the nearest Fry's is 4 hours away in Duluth, GA
ZipZoomFly only has the first version of this board for $118.99 (the one that does only DDR2 1066 and not DDR2 1200..I think there's a few more differences as well)
Buy.com has it but taxes kill it...it's $130.63 after sales tax

I do a lot of price research before buying

The gigabyte board also seems to have more features than any others I've seen so far. It's better than the Foxconn, Biostar, ASRock, ECS, Jetway, and I'm still comparing it to the MSI.

Newegg had the mobo for like 110 with free shipping...I just checked and now it said it's deactivated. Damn it. I was gonna buy that one too! Damn DDR3 ruining everything. >_>

Yeah but sadly I missed that one as well. But it would have been $120 for me...stupid sales tax tends to ruin a lot of my good deals...it's why I try not to order from Newegg but wait until ZZF puts the same thing up for the same price and buy from them.

Well lemme know if you find a good deal. I'll need it now that Newegg killed it. D:

Newegg has the 630 for 120. The 630 is a waste IMO. You can probably overclock the 620 to 630 specs on stock vcore and save 30 dollars or so.

That offer.

And yeah, I thought about a 630 but after seeing the ~$25 price difference and figuring the tax on top of that decided it wasn't worth it and just jacked up my 620

That's a 620 and can be had for less than $90 right now in the US. 113.99 CAD is $106.08 US. You would still be better off just buying it anywhere in the US. Amazon.com has it for $99 with free shipping as does Newegg. Ewiz has it for $93.99 with $4.70 Cash back to make it $89.29,
