$449 + video card (ensure compatibility) of your choice...but it's an i5 for $449. Tonymac seems to be developing support for the H67 gigabyte motherboard.
YMMV

H67 = works with Intel's new "Sandy Bridge" chips, correct?
EDIT: Answered my own question with some reading...

If you're near a MicroCenter B&M store, you can get the Core i5 2400 3.1 {faster} for
$150 + the same mobo for another $95 = $245.
Not too bad if you've already got RAM, HD, etc. on hand.
btw, the Sony burner in the TD package is a real POS :wink:

i7-2600k going for $279 at MicroCenter. That's a 4.5GHz minimum... with right cooling (air)
Forgot-- different socket.
