    Built my wife a home built system based on a game mother board. You can't get much better for the price she is really impressed with the speed and performance. Graphics is very good and she is very happy.

    This runs excellent with any modern games. I did research and paired it up with a PNY xlr8 1660 super 6gb vram OC edition and it runs all games flawlessly at the highest settings. Awesome little cpu!

    The cpu works well with the all the other parts I had purchased in order to make a really nice computer. The price of the product is very reasonable and I liked the design and shape of the product.

    Honestly I wasn’t expecting this much out of it. But going from a i3-9100f to this is a huge upgrade and I can’t complain. Amazing for the price

    Best intel processor you can get for the price. I got it on sale for 199.99, but at 229.99 it's still great value not even mentioning the overclocking capabilities.

    This is a great CPU for the price. Even though it is an older generation, it can hold up to some newer CPUs if pushed far enough. Works great for the build I needed it for.

    One of the best processors for over clocking, bang for the buck if you want a gaming rig built on a solid processor this is the one for you.

    No need for an i7 in gaming in my experience was rocking a 6600k for the last three years. Have been able to have a stable 5ghz with AIO on ASUS z390 board.

    Not going to lie, almost went AMD and would probably still recommed AMD, but I couldn't find a board I liked from AMD at the time and went with this guy. Still is a pretty good CPU and when paired with a good graphics card, does a good job when playing games.

    I prefer Intel CPU's. They always perform as expected. This particular one allows an overclock, and does so easily.

    The i5-9600k is a great performer. It overclocks easily! I recommend the z390 chipset motherboards for this CPU.
