    A perfect chip for me and my pc needs. Not everyone needs the i7 or i9 for gaming. Please do your own research before purchasing anything.

    I bought this CPU as an upgrade for my new build. My old PC was a 3770K. It doesnt disappoint. Paired this with a Z690 MB and DDR5 memory that was on sale, and this thing screams.

    AMD Ryzen has it when it comes to budget and enthusiant/high end gaming; Intel has it when it comes to mid range gaming and/or consumer productivity, and this chip is no exception. Pairs well with nearly any GPU, but especially is a great choice for the RTX 4070/4070Ti
