i thought they were supposed to drop to 266 dollers ~ 133 pounds + vat ? 
$266 is the price the distributors pay Intel for them.
Overclockers buy them from distribution for usually a couple of % on top.
Fortunately Intel have worldwide pricing so there's none of the usual exchange rate rip offs that we see so often in this country.

obviously dont tell me where from but how much is the cheapest inc vat u have found?
I'm not sure that we're allowed to even discuss competitors prices.
If you're happy with the price that OcUK are offering then just buy from them.
It's always a good idea to shop around, but it's rare that you'd save more than a few pounds between most of the bigger etailors. On some items you can save upwards of £10 depending where you look though.
If you've bought from OcUK before and are happy with how much the item is going to cost you, then I'd just go with that. If you have some spare time, then it shouldn't take you too long to find out some other prices for the item you want, and then compare.
I haven't looked myself, but in your case I'd be surprised if you could save more than a few quid elsewhere.

OCUK are not always the cheapest (but a lot of the time they are, especially when something you want is on the deal of the week!), but the service is pretty damn good.
I’ll probably get an Intel E6850 and looking around you can always, well almost always, find somebody – somewhere selling whatever you want for a bit cheaper.
I’ve just found one for the E6850, but what can be much more difficult on some of these sites is to find a phone number.
They all tend to have email contact addresses but that isn’t quite the same.
OCUK have contact details including phone contact - Contact Us
That can be worth a lot more than a few pounds reduction in price.
It's not always obvious whether some of these sites are selling 'Grey Imports' which doesn't appeal to me.

When you factor in your complete build, prices tend to balance out. If you are purchasing from multiple retailers then factor in shipping costs, for my particular build (which includes this proc) OcUK are not that far off the mark and I know who I'd prefer to purchase from
