Pros:

I have owned this cpu for over a year now.I used it 100% for gaming.i have played everything from Planet side 2,BF3,BF4,skyrim,metro,crysis..ect

It handles it all

yes it handles it all i may not achieve frames in the 70's but ive never played a game that doesnt allow me to run high settings with 30 plus fps.As this cpu may be older now it has performed wonders for me

Cons:

Not a true quad

Overall Review:

First build for gaming? Super low budget? Buy it you shall not be disappointed
