I need to buy an i5-6600 but Amazon is out of stock and so is the Fry's Electronics near me. BestBuy is sold out online. I can't seem to find any third-party sellers on Amazon that have a reasonable return policy or any indication they are reputable retailers. Anybody know of a safe online source to order this from?

I'm looking for the regular i5-6600. Not the unlocked k version.

Waste of money, but....

I'm looking for a reputable source. I have no experience with those sources other than Newegg and specifically Amazon LCC (not amazon third-party partners like all the sellers in the amazon link in your above pcpartpicker link). My one experience with newegg has been poor - they sent me a faulty power supply and then refused my return because it was a sale item; It was also very poorly packaged. I cringe at the thought of buying a $230 CPU from a random seller with unknowing packaging and no returns.

Whats a waste of money is buying an unlocked cpu that the OP REFUSES to OC

Most ppl other than regulars, refuse to OC, but then down the line, they post: How do I make my rig go faster...for free.

I always buy OCable CPU's whether I intend to OC or not.
