WOW Plus some.
I tend to over build for what I need in order to get some longevity from a build. This FX-8150 is mounted onto a MSI 990FXA motherboard. The performance is amazing, programs snap to life, pages are up instantly, A bit spendy but I'm hoping for 7 years from a build, that comes out to $25.71 per year or about $2.15 per month.
