Not really, my gf's brother works there and newegg and tigerdirect had cheaper stuff. He's using a 955 and a ATI HD 5850.

????? Microcenter has some of the cheapest CPU prices ANYWHERE....

Fry's have cpu/mobo combos that pretty much make the motherboards free. There was a i5 750 with a quality Gigabyte mobo for $200 after $20 MIR. The mobo is worth $140 alone....

You gotta know what you're looking for....

The 4770 is a solid card, my Fiance runs it in her rig and it performs flawlessly for most gaming. She plays L4D at highest settings 1680x1050 with no issues at all.
