Previously a AMD user as well as a upcoming designer in interactive media, I needed to upgrade to something a lot more power. This was perfect for what I needed, possibly a bit overkill but that just means that I will be sticking with this for years. Its handling all my applications as well as games such as Planetside 2 perfectly which is a very cpu heavy game.

This Thing is a beast!! Runs amazing out of the box. Benchmarks put it neck and neck with the i7-6700k (within 0.8%). absolutely no load times on my desktop apps. Would absolutely recommend.

This thing is great at both gaming and rendering for this price. No regret of switching from i5 to this

Bought it two years ago, still holds up and is worth the price. Plays pretty much everything at maximum settings with my strong graphics card (which is a must to get your bang for the buck, with this kind of a processor)

I'm loving this CPU. The computer I'm using this in is mostly for gaming and multimedia / home theater. My computer is nice and fast. I have no complaints about this CPU. I have been using it for about 9 months in my PC with a GTX 970 windforce GPU and crucial DDR3 memory.

It's a 4790K, it's a beast of a processor and will probably stay one of the best for a few more years; at least as far as gaming is concerned. Cons, it's pretty freak'n expensive but hey, all good things are.

Great CPU. The price of these guys have been excellent since they came out with the Skylake processors, which is great because I don't feel the need to jump to a Z170 platform just because it's new. The Z87s and Z97s still work excellent for those that are skeptical about buying an old CPU and motherboard.Currently, I sit 34 idle and about 50 while gaming with a H100i GTX.

Wish I never bought my 5820k. This proc is faster and overclocks better.

I have had this for almost a year now. It works great and I have it overclocked to 4.7GHz with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus. It could easily hit 5.0GHz with a water cooling system.
