Most Favorable Review

Great for the price!

AMD FX-6300 - FX-6000 Series Vishera 6-Core 3.5 GHz Socket AM3+ 95W Desktop Processor - FD6300WMHKBOX

Pros: I mostly game; I've bought three of these so far, and I love them. I don't own the eight core versions, but benchmarks seem to show that they're nearly as good with much less heat and money involved. With a GTX 660 and this CPU I can play most any game nearly maxed out with about 60 FPS. It's also cool; with a pretty cheap offbrand aftermarket cooler I barely ever even hit 50C (usually 45C) running 100% 24/7 (folding when I'm not gaming). I also have one which uses the stock sink and fan which never hits 60C.

Cons: None so far.

Pros: Works as it should. Cool light if you're into it.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Not super amazing, but it does it's job exactly as intended.

Works fine

Pros: It does it's job well; if you're looking to get online without a cord this will get it done. For everyday tasks such as e-mail and video streaming I can't tell a difference between running from this card or a cord.

Cons: None for the price.

Overall Review: Maybe not the greatest for gaming although it's possible and really not that bad depending on the game, but we all know that.

Good board for price

ASRock 960GM/U3S3 FX 95W Socket AM3+ AMD 760G + SB710 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: It has all these neat places to install things like RAM and a CPU.

Cons: It seems that the system I have with this board runs slower than an otherwise identical system with a slightly pricier mobo. It's nothing major at all.

Overall Review: It works. It's cheap.
