Great deal! I bought this for a new build for my brother's computer. Nothing fancy, just a basic aftermarket cooler, SSD, mid-grade video card, etc... very fast!
I did the same but went with a Athlon 975 Black Ed. It scream. My MB supports the AM3+ chip. Will wait for these to go down to about 125 and then swap it. I am sold on AMD. Also Asrock MB's are great. They just work.
It is usually the best value buying recently obsoleted computer components... Using the latest and greatest software application releases is, often times, not a good idea either.

waiting for them to be $50
Really #3? You want it to be at the price point of a Celeron??? GTFO
This chip is from the Bulldozer family which is about to become obsolete in 3Q/4Q 2012 when it's replacement (Piledriver) is released.
Newer CPUs make older ones obsolete? Who knew!

This chip is still too pricey...
