buy this bad boy if you want a budget gaming pc.

Well boys and girls, she works

Game run smoothly, I can watch 4k videos with no buffer (which is generally just a plus) but before I overclock this bad boy, I'm gonna install water cooling

Recommend getting an aftermarket fan or liquid cooling (get liquid cooling and overclock this bad boy).

I've run an x2, x4, 8320, and now this bad boy

I put together a PC with a gigabyte board, MSI GTX 970, Gskill ram, and the only problem was a BIOS APM setting which I turned off since it would throttle this bad boy and crash my PC

I read a lot of reviews on a lot of different processors for my new computer build, and I finally chose this bad boy because I could get excellent performance without emptying my bank account for a pricey Intel processor

This new CPU exceeds 10,000, roughly 60% more powerful, while still having the same TDP and power consumption of 125W.Not only that, but it is a good little overclocker out of the box AND on air with the stock cooler (which happens to be made by CoolerMaster).You can easily get this bad boy to 4.7GHz just by upping the multiplier and having the voltage around 1.35v, which brings the CPU Passmark score up to 10,300, surpassing Intel's $329 i7-3770k, and being on par with the more expensive FX-9370 (which also consumes way more power, as it is a 220W TDP part) Keep in mind, this CPU is only meant to compete with the i5-3570, which is still slightly more expensive, and yet this AMD chip completely blows it away

(For angry fan boys...I have an Intel too)

but boy was I wrong
