$68 price drop. MicroCenter.com has the Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz Quad-Core Unlocked Processor Bundle for $180 with free in-store pickup. Add to cart, then add the Gigabyte GA-Z68AP-D3 LGA 1155 Z68 ATX Motherboard to reach $280 - $50 off in cart - $15 rebate [Exp 4/29] = $215 with free in-store pickup.
They want to bring you into the store for this deal so they can potentially get you to buy the other pieces for your build. In their favor though I have never encountered a pushy sales agent there even when buying these great combo deals.
Thanks #3. The mobo is sold out at my local Microcenter (Tustin) so I had tried to add an open-box item, which apparently does not trigger the $50 off.
In-store only deals is why I can never do business with Microcenter. Very strange in this day and age.
How do you get the "$50 off in cart"?
#2, add both products to your shopping cart, then the discount will appear.

O - I thought it was me.
Great deal. In 4 a combo, cost me $5 gas + tax tho.
