Pros: I left a previous review that it was a good processor. No it a AWESOME processor. As I said in a previous posting. I have been building computers since the Commodore 64 days. I only went to intel for the last build before this one. This thing GAMES very well. It's still Paired with a Gigabyte 990fx board, Sniper 1866 ram. 6850 Card. It cuts through everything without a hitch. Most games like only 4 cores anyway. You don't even have to overclock it. I use an SSD for my windows 7. Very Very impressive. for the Price this processor is.

Cons: Other than a little noisy factory heat sink. Works well though. There are really no cons.

Other Thoughts: If you are a gamer. Don't hesitate. This is the processor for you if you like to game and still want to stay in a budget!
