    This a great processor for gaming and anyone that tells you that you need more for 60fps+ 1080p gaming does not know what they are talking about. If you want to over lock than spend the extra $50 for the 6600k but if you don't plan on over clocking this 6500 is more than enough

    I love my processor. It's handled gaming well, I do a little Photoshop and it hasn't been lagging at all. So far it's the best locked core you can buy. Cons: fan that comes with this... Throw it away and by a cheap one for 15 bucks at Fry's or Amazon

    It runs very nicely, haven't run I to any problems yet. It doesn't require a whole lot of cooling. Overall it's a good CPU for people doing a FIRS BUILD.

    This processor works for what I needed it for. I would suggest buying an aftermarket cup cooler if you plan on doing anything in Photoshop.
