Intel - Core i7-8700K Coffee Lake Six-Core 3.7 GHz Socket LGA 1151 Desktop Processor

If your not gonna be getting a 9th gen CPU your just shooting yourself in the foot if you get anything besides this beast. Will handle what you need it to and ready for overclock. Just threw mine in on a Maximus X Code motherboard with some Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut and a Thermaltake 360mm AIO.

super fast and productive. good for the price as well

This processor runs amazing. I didn't bother to overclock it and I know it can run at least 4.9ghz or 5ghz. I didn't wanna risk the life span of this processor. I would LOVE to overclock it but I rather not. It runs flawlessly with Windows 10 and PC gaming. Has six cores and twelve hyper-threads that can dominate anything you need running in the background or if you wanna multi-task. Such a great processor. Rated high benchmarking score in User benchmark too. I was blown away at how my graphics look with Ultra settings. I love this processor. It has been several years and this is my first i7 processor. I fell in love with its performance! It's the best. I recommend getting it unless you wanna get an i7 9700k Which performs well good and stronger but it lacks hyperthreading but your choice in the end! This processor has the eye of the tiger!

I am very pleased with this processor. So far very fast and dependable. I would recommend with a gigabite z390 series MB.

I decided to build a computer as I was tired of the frame-locks and slowness of consoles. This processor has been amazing for the price I got it at. It hasn’t overheated and handles every game I would want to play (but that’s also due to my 2070 super). If you’re a first time computer builder, I highly recommend this processor.

i bought this cpu to finish a new build to replace an older gaming computer with a amd rx 8350 cpu. the cpu is in a msi z370 motherboard, liquid cooled. Big improvement in performance. I run the chip at 4.5 ghz, temps are good and the system has been stable for 3 weeks. I use the computer for everything, gaming, vr, high resolution audio playback, streaming video. It handles everything i can throw at it with no problems. Very pleased.

Nothing much to say about it, best in the market just wish it was cheaper

I love this processor. It's got 6 cores and hyper threading and overclocks like a beast. Mine is stable at 5GHz, even if I daily drive just a mild all core overclock. I got this just before the 9th gen series came out and it really comes out ahead with the value as compared to the newer cpus that cost much more.
