Sweet deal

Bought this for the price - kept it for the performance. Bye-Bye old P4. The quad has moved in.

Very fast

Used these to build 17 custom PCs for an AutoCAD class in a school. These are the fastest desktops in the whole school now. I can only imagine how good the new Gen3 i7s run!

Great CPU

This is an Ivy Bridge CPU, very efficient and cool event when playing most demanding games (with proper cooler of course). Great choice, highly recommended.
