Rated 4 out of 5 stars
excellent product, great value just slow delivery.
I got this product off of a price match with micro-center, specifically for processors like this I recommend price matching them. This is an excellent processor, doesn't bottleneck any graphics card I throw at it and can handle tasks great. I use it with several different graphics cards as I benchmark different systems. The only thing I do have to say about this is its not a generational improvement on the 7600x it's the same performance wise just better temps and tdp.
