Excellent product
I was looking to build a new pc because my desktop was getting old. I was stuck between the i5 and i7 processors. My final decision was due to price. I choose this cpu and put the difference towards a ssd.
I could not be happier. PC is lighting fast. Windows experience index is a 7.5.
Price was right in line with other online stores. Well worth it.

Great chip and Best Buy had a great price.
Didn't like the restrictions or cost of an I7. I'm not a gamer so didn't matter. I5 is much faster than what I was using. Great system.
