HOWEVER: Do you have a Microcenter anywhere near you? If so, you can get an i7-3770K for $230 plus tax, which is $100 less than everywhere else. THAT is a worthwhile upgrade at that price for general computing tasks.

Get the 1TB drive, it's only $10 more than a 500gb.
Actually there is no Microcenter near me unfortunately.
