    AMD has mastered what a CPU needs to be not much more to be said good for gaming, good for productivity good for overclocking all while not breaking your bank.

    I was contemplating between amd and Intel, and I am happy I went with amd. The value and performance you get is A-1, also have it paired with a Amd Radeon 6800

    For a pure gaming CPU, this thing is awesome. My benchmark software has never shown it going above 51% usage. It's barely even trying on my 1080p/1440p setup.

    The main reason I got this CPU besides the noticeable upgrade was to get a free copy of Starfield. AMD promotes a free Starfield digital copy by purchasing this type of CPU (and other CPUs and GPUs). AMD support does not issue the digital copy, it has to be the seller. Best Buy sent me an email after purchase with instructions on how to redeem the digital copy of Starfield.

    For the price, it's extremely hard to beat the performance, and quality. So far, even with a mere 2070, I'm running most games on mid-high, 120 fps no problem. Worth the purchase for any quality budget build.
