AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Processor with Wraith Prism LED Cooler - YD270XBGAFBOX

With Intel, youd have to change motherboards every generation. AMD promised to support AM4 till at least 2020. Would highly recommend over Intel, especially if youre gaming at a higher resolution (1440p, 4k) due to being more gpu bound. Plus you wont notice the 35fps difference going over 100+ fps (AMD) and 125-40 fps (Intel). No noticeable difference in frametime either, so save your money and use it where it really counts, your graphics card

Upgraded to the AMD Ryzen 7 2700x from my old Intel i7 3770k. My old system could still handle gaming and proccessing ok, But i always notices my CPU at Idle would be utilizing 20-30% of its resources. This chip completely destroys anything I throw at it with ease and it does not even break a sweat. Not only is this chip great for gaming but other multitasking. If you like to game but do a lot of other things like streaming your games, video editing, or other work related solutions then you cant go wrong!

This is bar none, the best CPU out there. You get essentially identical gaming performance and better performance in every other category than anything Intel has out. Intel charges twice as much for their new chipset and its the same level of performance.

Great processor. No complaints.

blazing fast

Hjjjj

With the 8 cores, this thing is a budget beast. I was thinking of adding a Ryzen 5 3600, but the Black Friday deals brought it down to like a $115. This processor definitely gives good bang for its buck. Content creation will be great as I have just started streaming, the gaming is great as well (better than console). I am overall very pleased with this purchase. I use a corsair H100i Platinum SE, but the stock cooler from what Youtubers have provided can still work great. Overall, if you are just getting into gaming, streaming, and whatever other basic PC operations, it will be a solid budget option.

Disappointed to see I didnt get brackets with this, Id love to play with it right now but I have to wait another week for some brackets

Works well to keep high end games running well, especially for the price.

Got this on sale, and wow is it fast, better for design applications then some intel xeons.
