Pros: Best value for my buck including with new motherboard.

Cons: Does run somewhat warm, could be I used too little Artic Silver 5.

Overall Review: New gaming rig with this CPU, MSI motherboard, corsair memory, xfx video card, a-data ssd and some hard drives, DVD burner and PC Power & Cooling PSU. System screams on Win 7

Pros: Arrived yesterday. Performs as expected. Upgraded from an RTX3070 8GB so a significant performance increase at 1440p, from 20-50% depending on game.

Cons: Obviously, the cost of almost all mid/high-end GPUs anymore.

Overall Review: I would recommend if you can afford it. It does outperform the 4070 super ( bought for my wife's system), but not sure if it is $200 worth more.
