    A solid 6 core CPU if you get it for around $125

    Terrific 6-core CPU if you can get it around $125; runs very cool, quiet, and efficient. Pairs great with a 1080p card for eSports titles; a little bit more though and you could get a 5700x which is a much greater value at 8 cores and faster single core performance for higher frames.

    Still a reliable option for gaming

    I have been using this for just over 4 years and have had no issues whatsoever with it. Getting ready to replace it with a 5900x ONLY because I am single PC streaming and it isn't capable of what i want for a layout.

    Too Good!

    This thing is AMAZING compared to intel. I can be running games, chrome, and monitoring software and it maxes out around 30%. I haven't tried using unity yet, but I assume it will be able to handle it, no problem. I would definitely get this over intel. Also, I am usually getting 4100 megahertz, and I am not overclocking.
