1. Yeah, thankfully everything is only 1 way, Just got to be thorough and careful, i just wanna boot the baby up already and get to playing games :P. I'm just afraid of not being fragile enough with the processor haha.
2. If I were to go for i7, i would have just dished out for the 2600k, and as KT mentioned, just for $100 more it basically guarantees you from not buying a new processor for several more years, but I have confidence in the 2500k. I mean I doubt gaming will get too crazy on the processor, and I only do light video and music editing as a hobby.
3. For the processors at microcenter, they don't ship (or for the most part), so people still gotta drive out to one of their 23 locations nationwide, thankfully I live 5 miles from one. So I just ordered online (they have a nice inventory checker, so if there isn't enough they won't let you order from there sadly), and it's guaranteed to be ready in 18 minutes. I have until Saturday night (3 business days) to pick up my order. They also allowed for paying immediately, or going to the store and paying when I pick everything up, leaving more room to do everything in one purchase if I find more stuff on my trip to MC.
4. I have read nothing about it, but my brother told me about it too. Some flood in Taiwan or Thaliand (No offense to those that live in said countries, I just can't remember which one he told me.. at least I'm not using them interchangeably like an ignorant asshole) that really jacked up the HD prices. I was confused as to why my buddy was paying $100 for a 1TB Internal HD when just weeks before I spent $65 on a 1.5TB HD lol.
