So let me give some background, I bought this CPU looking for a solid one that I wouldn't have to upgrade anytime soon. Not only did this CPU meet all of my expectations, but after having this processor for around 6 months, I can say without a doubt, this is a really powerful product. You can easily with a decent CPU cooler overclock this to anywhere between 4.0 to 4.5ghz very easily. This is great for productivity and gaming.
Pros:
Very powerful multi-core performance
Great for gaming and productivity
Well made (no problems pertaining to the physical aspects, and when setting this up)
Cons:
No integrated GPU (seen in skylake processors)
Rather expensive
I can easily get 60 fps with this 6 core beast on any game with ultra settings at 1080p, for example with games like Bioshock Infinite, Watch_Dogs, Gmod, Batman Arkham Knight, Minecraft, Fallout 4, Elder Scrolls 5, Borderlands 2, CSGO, and Dark Souls 3. I would highly recommend picking this up if you want a powerful PC, that will last for a long time!
