Although outdated from lga 1700 and wouldnt recommend buying for that reason, if you have a lga 1200 motherboard ready this is a great cpu i was running it for about 2 years fully overclocked (liquid aio) and only upgraded because im more of a enthusiast builder, cpu still works great and it easily has a few more years in it plus i have yet to find a game it couldnt handle (besides city skylines 2 for obvious reason) it pairs wonderfully with a gigabyte 3060 12gb overclocked at 1080 and 1440 you could most definitely get a better graphics card thats just what i had at the time you might want to run at 4k though if you looking to go up to higher 30 or 40 series rtx cards look into running 4k puts less strain on the cpu and can eliminate a gpu bottleneck(i would include testbench scores but it’s no longer in any computer)

This cpu is great I haven’t had any issues with it since I’ve had it (1.5 years). I tried the i9 1200 lga version and there wasn’t much of a noticeable performance upgrade so I stuck with this one.

Pros- Very fast. Upgraded from a 10th gen processor on a B560 motherboard. Installation was easy. Cons- Runs hot, idles at over 50°C on H100i AIO cooler w/o fans running. Stock cooler may need to be upgraded for CPU intensive applications.
