    Why doesn't Scan stock Intel core i5 750?

    I was hoping to buy most, if not all of the bits for my new build from Scan, but I see that you don't stock the Intel core i5 750 processor.
    Given that this is PC Pro's best value processor, and seems to represent outstanding performance for the price, I'm surprised, and will have to go elsewhere. All you stock is the low power version at £50 more.

    Is this an oversight on Scan's part, or do you have a reason for not stocking it?
    (Or indeed is it an oversight on my part and I've just missed it?)

    The i5 760 is a higher specification CPU at a lower price.

    Thanks for that Chris.
    I hadn't realised the 750 had effectively been superseded by the 760 - don't things change quickly!!
    Glad I asked :-)
