AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Processor with Wraith Prism LED Cooler - YD270XBGAFBOX

I struggled for some time trying to decide on an Intel build or an AMD but I will definitely say I am more than happy with this CPU. This thing is a beast running current triple a games at full detail and only using around 20% of this 8 core chip. Im planning on trying virtualization with it to get the most out of it. Most games only need 2-4 cores.

I got this beast for $200 and i was like wow this perfomance for just this i was so impressed that i use to have an intel i5 9400f and it was for the same price and i can see the difference from a intel to amd. I have GTX 1660TI (GPU). 16gb ram 2400hz. RM 750x (PS) and a gigabite b450 dsh3 (motherboard). If you are planning to build a gamig pc i really recommend this CPU.

It runs a little warm so if you have your own cooler it better be good. At the same time it comes with an amazing wraith prism cooler that is solid alone.

Awesome cpu.. great for building gaming pc.. not the latest one but good enough for the price

You really cant go wrong with this one, you really do get what you pay for and excellent long term support for upgrades.

Recently decided to try AMD for the first time mostly because of my budget and a recommendation from a friend. I use to have an Intel Core i5 4690k @ 3.50GHZ and was looking to upgrade my rig but my budget was roughly $600.. Was going to originally buy an Intel Core i5-9600K 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor - That was priced at $250 but was told by multiple friends that the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X is equivalent to an Intel Core i7 and some online posts have said that the performance on the Ryzen 7 is actually better - And all for the price of $250 the same price as the Intel i5 I was going to buy..

I upgraded from a Ryzen 5 1600X to this, both AM4, and it was seamless!

One of the best processors I have dealt with!

great buy.

East installation, works very well.
