Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I have had this for a month or more now and it does really well in my computer. My only complant is that on some games it goes up to 100% usage and it bottlenecks my gpu. But if you arent running super demanding games then it is probbaly for you.

Decent 8th gen start for budget
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendOf course you always want to go with 1 of the 3(i3-i5-i7) but if your on a budget this is great to start an 8th gen with. You could go with the celeron but you wont get any kind of gaming with that. Remember this is your computers brain and you want it fast and smart and this is the lowest levels of those, anything not i3,5,7 is just worthless and you can basically only check emails with those and probably cant even stream well.
