Pros: Its fast, it's great for gaming on most AAA games with high and ultra settings with a decent GPU, it does the job very well as a desktop. I have had no stutters or overheating issues, it idles at 30c and turbo clocks to 3.9ghz at 55-60c with my AIO cooler, overall worth a buy.
Cons: Needs a bios update from an older generation in order for you to boot the system. Not much of a performance gain from the 8400, maybe about 5 %
Overall Review: I would definitely buy this if you're looking for a budget cpu that can game and get the job done as a desktop and will last for 5-6 years for my personal preference.
