OEM I7-6700K for £275.99 is very cheap. The prices on these have recently been as high as £360 and most other retailers still selling for >£300. Also includes free shipping on your entire basket, which from OcUK is a very nice bonus.
It's back so quickly! Same offer as I posted earlier this week that was originally a one day deal. Still free shipping on entire basket!

Kind of defies the purpose. Plus I didn't know you could lol. Oh well, it's not the end of the world.

If you need a motherboard too then it might be better to get a bundle deal from Dabs, which includes the Retail version of the CPU (3 year warranty instead of 12 months with OEM).
I'm considering the ASUS Z170-A which is £405.22 including this CPU. The mobo is £121.74 alone, so works out to £283.48 for the CPU.
There's also the MSI deal for £456.29 (£436.29 after MSI £20 cashback) if you're after a different board.
EDIT: Obv. voted hot because it's the cheapest price for the OEM CPU alone.

Overclockers also offer bundles. This is just one they have that's been overclocked by the retailer which offers an extra layer of protection as technically overclocking voids any warranty. Link provided incase it interests anyone. SM951 NVMe is a beauty SSD, especially when placed in PCIe x4
I've not compared prices, can't be bothered lol. Had I seen this when I was upgrading I would have made this purchase.
Built last week:
Intel Core i7-6700K
Scythe Kotetsu 79.0 CFM CPU Cooler
Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3400 Memory

Yes a friend of mine did a X99 i7-5820K build with an M.2 NVMe Samsung SM951 boots in about 4 seconds. It's excellent.

Voted cold because xfaxfa is so defensive of his/her deals.

Better to spend the Extra £20 and get a retail version for the extra 2 years warranty.

Out of curiosity has anyone ever needed to use the warranty on any CPU ever? I've never had a CPU fail on any PC or Mac I have ever used in nineteen years working in computing even hugely overclocked stock air-cooled rubbish? Fans, HDD's, optical drives, PSU's, mobo's, RAM modules, expansion cards and peripherals all die routinely of course.
