I have been planning on getting myself a modest gaming rig in a week or so, but I've been hearing things about Intel's prices dropping soon.

Can someone please confirm this? Or is it a rumor again? :huh:

Once the price drop hits, i shall be making a detailed post on what to get :D Will need your help then, so save it for later mate :)

P.S - Thanks mods, for changing the title of the thread, after posting I realized it was a bit weird :p

Yea probably will sell at a little premium at first so 12k is a fair estimate. the Q9450 would be around 15k i guess
