    Was able to price match this to get a better price. Honestly probably worth it to spend the extra 30$ or so to get the 2600x - especially if you plan to use the stock cooler. Both are still a great value tho

    This CPU is awesome. It was very easy to install. New wraith stealth cooling is stellar, CPU has not gotten over 50 degrees C while gaming. Easily clocked to 3.8 base. I've loved AMD for years and, unfortunately, they've always fallen short against Intel...not anymore. This CPU is great and nearly half the cost of Intel.

    This GPU is amazing, and for the price you can’t beat it. Any budget/intermediate build for gaming or really anything else this exceeds expectations. I would recommend this GPU to anyone and I would also look out for games that this may be bundled with as an additional bonus!

    Great CPU for esports builds. Runs cool. While AMD does support overclocking how much you can squeeze out of them is questionable.
