    This processor is super fast. The Core i7-4790K runs at a 4GHz base clock, and with a 4.4GHz Turbo Mode.

    I bought this for my new computer build and I used pricematch to get it down another $20, but if your looking for a processor for an LGA1150 socket motherboard, this is the way to go.

    This processor is incredibly fast and powerful. It is far superior to the AMD FX series, as it should be. It's more expensive. From heavy gaming to multiple tab web browsing and torrenting. I've used multiple applications at the same time and this thing just doesn't slow down.

    Great performance for older LGA1150 motherboards at a reasonable price. If you want to give your older machine a boost without investing in an all new combo this is the processor to buy in my opinion. Enough horsepower to run almost all current games on high graphics. Depending on your GPU of course.

    Best 1150 processor there is. Very fast but if you plan on over clocking you should ditch the provided fan and with a Cooler master Evo 212
