This processor is now 7, yes, SEVEN years old and still holds up with all of today's most popular games! I am thoroughly impressed with this CPU.

It's been perfectly reliable ever since I've bought it off eBay used 2 years. withstands some overclocking, and would definitely recommend it. Would recommend upgrading as well if you have the funds, as it is a few generations old at this point.

All you really need for a sub $500 build. You can get them everyday of the week off AliExpress for 35-40 bucks.

Not much to say about it, I bought it used, although it's relatively old I'd say it's still a pretty good cpu

Great CPU still in 2024, pairs great with a 2060.

Old but gold, showing it's age in 2024 but has always performed as expected.

Still holds up in the market to this day. Never gave me a problem in its 4 years of use.

from completed build PC Flip 1(R5 2600, GTX 970)

Great cpu for the price I got it for. Still a strong 6c/12t in 2024. Has a great upgrade path to the 5800x3d.
