    Hi I am getting a new CPU and I am looking for a cheap intel E6850, I dont mind if it is refurbished at all. Any thoughts anyone? cheapest I have found is 185$ on newegg and 120-140$ on ebay. What are the cons on buying one off ebay?

    it'll be second hand, and there'll be a reason why it's being sold. Usually it's because it didn't overclock very well, but sometimes worse, if you encounter a devious seller.
