It's hard to gauge a processor. For the most part, they tend to all work the same and provide similar speeds. Unless you're an enthusiast trying to eke out every meager megahertz you can, this is a perfectly fine processor for a gamer. In CPU-intensive MMO's like World of Warcraft I instantly jumped from 30 fps in the world to a straight 60 (and usually higher if I turn off v-sync). Computer boots super fast (mostly due to the SSD) and programs are responsive. Multi-threaded applications, including ones I design, work well. Overall a fine, stable chip.

Everything is great but please be careful!!!!!!! In the Compare Similar Items menu, it says this is an LGA 1155 socket but it's actually an LGA 1150. 1150 is what it says in the product description.

Unless you will be rendering videos very actively, the i7 name is there just so you feel good about yourself, for 5 times the price of a Pentium G3258. I have achieved exactly the same FPS in games like Crysis, Dota, LoL, Skyrim, Borderlands 2, the Forest with an EVGA GTX 970 FTW edition. G3258 does not bottleneck games or cause stuttering as long as you stick around the 1440p and below. I have received the same scores for Unigine Heaven benchmark at ultra settings 1080p too.

Also it gets very hot for even with the best air cooling. So now you have to add even more money to throw in a solid liquid cooling solution, which will be about twice as much as a G3258 itself.

I spoke of this CPU negatively, but the specific CPU I've had run up to 5.0 ghz stably, just too hot. So this thing is still a beast. Fortunately, the extra performance is useless for anyone who wants to game. Please do yourself a favor and get an okay air fan and a Pentium G3258. Not even an i5 is worth it unless you certainly have to play the very few games that are out there that just require at least quad cores.

If you need to upgrade in a year or two, you only have to give up a 50-60 dollar piece, because g3258 is that cheap.

An outstanding chip. I purchased this specifically to go in an Asus Z97M-Plus mobo. I didn't use the stock heat sink included, because I'm using a Cooler Master Seidon 240M liquid cooler. It is a fully overclockable CPU, although I haven't yet played with that feature.

This processor is amazing. I read some reviews on it that said it runs very hot which gave me some concern; however, with the stock fan, I'm doing light work like browsing the web and hovering around 27C. Bioshock Infinite gave me a steady 75C on Ultra mode, and Star Citizen runs about 68C. I did order some Arctic Silver 5 and put some on my the cover of the processor (no deliding needed) before installing the fan, so that might be helping. Considering the price of this CPU, 10 more bucks seems well worth it.

I'm extremely happy with this purchase and would highly recommend it. I've been playing Star Citizen in the highest graphics mode, hooked up to an Oculus Rift at 1900res, and this processor has been handling it extremely well. Great buy for a gamer.

Switching from AMD to intel has never been so night and day. Real consumer here. I have never been more happy with this. Gaming and streaming is pretty much flawless. you can view some of the vidz I did on twitch at http://www.twitch.tv/lightin10k and see for yourself. if you are a gamer and you want to get into streaming like me, you can see my pc specs there.

Overclocks well. Threw away the stock cooler but I imagine most folks do that.
