That's cheaper than England. The i7-2600K is £239 for the OEM chip. I guess that just proves my point then; it's the VAT increase that's causing the prices to rise in the UK.
... oh and that's on offer too. Usually the 2600K OEM is £274.

I know, but you know what happens whenever any kind of tax rate is increased; stores rip the shit out of their customers.

Prices go up and down all the time, you've just got to buy when its on offer, but cpus are still no more expensive than they were a month ago, 2600k is £10 less now than a month ago on ebuyer, also i found a amazon price tracker and most cpus i looked at have come down in price over the last month or two.
I got my 2600k, motherboard and 2x6950 all when on offer saved about £70.
