A local computer store tells me they charge 30$ for a CPU install.A chain store would probably charge you a lot more.However that comes with a warranty.
Intrex tells me they will install a cpu for 30$.If you go to Best Buy it's going to cost you a lot more.

Before mounting the motherboard in the case I like to install the CPU and CPU fan/heatsink on to the motherboard. In fact, it is recommended to install the CPU & heatsink while the motherboard is still our of the case to make the job easier.
The average cost of a CPU fan will vary depending on which country one is buying from. In the United States the cost of a CPU is usually between $8 and $30.
It is possible to install the CPU yourself, but very difficult. Unless you have experience working with computer chips, it is advisable to bring the computer to a professional.

Make sure the CPU fan is functioning properly and that the case fan is also operational. If your CPU doesn't have a fan, purchase and install a heat sink and fan that will fit your CPU.
Intel CPU processors have a very stable price, they don't differ a lot from the CPU processors of AMD but AMD has more discount offers on it's CPU processors which in some occassions give them a better cost to performance ratio. In other words, buying an AMD processor with a good discount might just beat the Intel CPU processor cost to performance ratio.
