They sell the cpu boxed, and if the fan is included in the box, it has a thermal paste on it.
I bought my own cpu cooler for my i7 4790k
I would have buy a thermaltake fan for the CPU as the stock one is not the best but they still don't have any model yet for 1151, dunno how the 6700k buyers are doing

they assemble the cpu without extra charge
They assemble it before delivery or once at your home?
It comes assembeled in the case, they can also assemble the psu with the wires routing and stuff without charges
I will just order the CPU,motherboard and RAM, I have a good case ;)
So they will install the 3 parts in my case without charges?

I paid 2800$ at pcandparts + 400$ for my cpu which I got from canada.
They still made me pay the 10$ for assembly.

no I don't think they will install it in your case at home, I asked them this:

if I want only the CPU assembled in the MB it will cost me 10$ ?

Dear

We will not charge for assembling the PSU and board
They send the parts with aramex, and i am pretty sure that he does not know anything about computers haha
He is a courrier, unless they send someone else i do not knw about that.
But it is pretty easy to assemble the parts
Yeah I know, I already mounted 2 PC of mine but I was just curious to see (as Ali said they assemble them) if they would assemble them before they send them so you don't know if they add thermal paste or not.
I couldn't find any thermal paste in their list.
PC shops in Lebanon are going backward and pcandparts is the n1 now, microcityweb have only the 6400 and 6700k, no 6500 and they only have Biostar motherboards, God knows how good they are, at least an MSI Gaming motherboard is a good value.
Macrotronics would have the skylake CPUs on Monday but they are more expensive than pcandparts, it would cost me about +35-40$ more for the same parts lol.
Pcandparts could resume their sea road pickup option instead of doing everything on delivery, I mean for example I will sell my actual system on Monday, if I pass an order the same day I won't have my new system before Wednesday, so 48h without a PC
vegetaleb wroteBiostar motherboards, God knows how good they are
Let's just say that you can't put the words 'Biostar' and 'good' in the same sentence. Yeah, they're that shitty. Never ever get a board from Biostar, ECS or Foxconn.

Geez I am sick and tired of these fake people who play on elmazad and OLX, they promise you to buy the i5 and other parts then vanish.
So no 6500 for me this week.
I am afraid that it will be out of stock as other shops have only the 6400 :(
RoyNm wrote@vegetaleb The i5-6500 is now in stock at macrotronics for 242$ and at pcandparts for 208$.
Add 10% to the pcandparts Price + ~4$ shipping

macrotonics $242 and at pcandparts for $229 both inc VAT

Yep some shops will never learn...they have websites so they know people will check their prices like they check pcandparts ones but still :/
Looks like pcandparts is the only one to have H170 boards thanks to MSI

The i5 6600 is out at pcandparts!
It's at 223+VAT
The 6500 price dropped slightly from 208 to 202$ :)
As it's not a K version the +20$ are not worth over the 6500

Fucking PCandParts are nearly forcing you to get an i7 if you want to overclock.
Can't wait to see how better games will be with the new CPU, I finally sold my nearly 6 years old system, I will replay FC 4, MGS5 and Black Ops 3 with the new system.
Though some rare games like Black Ops 3 need more than the 8GB Ram I ordered, I will use 8GB from SSD for paging file
Alleluah!
Finally installed my new system!
I am gonna try some games, everything went flawlessly thought there is a little ''tick'' sound every 5 secs coming from the PC, it's very faint but it wasn't here before, dunno from where it comes exactly
@Vegetable

So How is your new system performing mate , I am reading some reviews (Joker Production) that i5 4960k even overclocked to 4.9Ghz strated to bottle neck (fallout 4) , Think the trend will increase in 2016 , 2017, 2018 - in an exponential manner.
