Or is retail better?

What are the pros/cons besides longer warranty and possibly stock cooler (which are shit anyway).

No difference, tray/oem just means it comes in a plastic holder for companies that bulk-order their parts and put them into systems directly. No point in wasting pennies on ink, paper and random assorted crap that no one will ever see. If you can save a few bucks buying OEM, do it every time.

OEM chips are the same as retail chips. I've bought experimental chips from Alibaba. You just need the right mobo, and you can get cheap underclocked i7s

The CPU I want (7280x) is on sale for $548 for the OEM version. OEM aren't even out yet.

Should I just get OEM? The warranty is only 1yr instead of 3yr for OEM.
