Great Quad core. Amd's 8 core processors dont stand a chance. Hyperthreading is where it's at. This processor runs cool and overclocks well compared to previous generation i7's. 4.0ghz clock by stock already has this thing packed with a punch even if you don't overclock. On top of that you have the extra boost turbo clock that can really help during heavy gaming at times.

so far so good. i just bought one after i drowned my last non-washable keyboard in tea.
the keyboard is nice and clicky, there is the requisite stand to angle the keys down. there is a built-in brush underneath the keyboard to move out debris. the white keys on a gray background are a nice aesthetic, and i don't mind it being wired. buttons are standard sizes and reasonably placed (not a smaller keyboard than usual). we'll see how this goes -- until the next spill. fingers crossed.
Had for a week so far. Overclocked to 5Ghz and running stable. No problems or overheating, stays under 40 degrees C with H105 at max load, under 30 on idle.

I'll start with the few cons before going into my raving:
I wish it was tenkeyless.
I wish it had a sleep button.
About 1/3 the keys had a small bump of excess plastic on the side, easily filed off.
That said, everything else about it is so absolutely perfect that since purchasing it nearly a year ago I'm still absolutely satisfied and cannot imagine using anything else.
It still looks just as good as the day I got it. The small cleaning brush that's unobtrusively attached to the back of the keyboard is a brilliant addition. Every once in a while the accumulating dust on the keyboard drives me crazy enough to take 5-10 minutes out on it with the brush, and suddenly it's looking new again.
I haven't bothered to wash it with water yet because there's been no need to. Prior to this keyboard, however, I wrecked two others from small spills in one year. I'm unfortunately not very gentle with my equipment - this keyboard has been banged around, had water spewed over it from laughing, even been stepped on. And it's just perfectly fine.
The keys are satisfying to click, not difficult to press down on, not unusually loud, not whisper quiet either. It just plain looks and feels good. I don't have a proper computer desk so I needed a relatively lightweight keyboard, and this fits the bill, unlike the two others I had.
This is such high quality I'd encourage anyone to pick up one used if saving a few bucks is important, I don't think there would really be much wrong with it. Very happy.
