    My son was building his first gaming PC and was looking for a good mid-range CPU. This CPU was the perfect fit and paired nicely with his 3060 Ti.

    I currently have this paired up with a 3070 and there is zero bottleneck. Easily get 100+ FPS @ 1440 on majority of all games I through at it at Med/High settings. I get about 110 average on Warzone 2/MW2, 150 on Destint 2, and 165 (capped) on Siege. Very strong budget CPU for gaming.
