This CPU is amazing! This is a must have if you are able to afford it. make sure you buy a motherboard that supports it.

I didn't get mine from Best Buy, because they were sold out, but I did get mine from another well known seller. This CPU is insanely powerful and versatile. I use this for Gaming and Photo/video editing primarily. I have pair it with the Asus ROG Zenith II Extreme TRX40 motherboard, DDR4 3600mhz 64GB ram, and a Nvidia RTX 3090. im waiting on stock to come back in on the 3090's, because everyone is price gouging these bad. The 3090's are marked up another 1000 dollars from what i have seen, just trying to buy one.
