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

8 cores / 16 threads for less than $200. This was impossible just a little while ago.

Bought this for my sons custom PC build. He was super excited knowing that some of his favorite streamers run this chipset, & I was happy that performance actually outweighs the price point. I would definitely recommend in a build for a teen gamer. I would not pair Cosair ram though, that caused a few issues but we switch out to another brand.

Very very great price performance absoloutely terrific.

This processor changed my life. Everything starts up perfectly now, and I can load stuff faster.

Good CPU for the cost. Its not going to perform as good as an intel but its good enough. The Wraith cooler that comes with the cpu is surpisingly good. On load with OC to 4ghz, it runs around 50-55c. With a 2080 RTX at 1440p on BFV i get average fps of 100

Used AMD CPUs for over 15 years, build my own systems, AMD has never let me down. They have lasted well past their warranty every time. The motherboard or power supply fail long before my CPU. The 2700X purchase was for an upgrade from an 8370 as the FX series is no longer, and DDR4 is on the rise while the X570 chip set allows for so much more in a system. Parted out the old system and guess what still got a good price for the old FX8370. The AMD has always been the basis for a productive desktop system.

Caught this on Cyber Monday for $172 after tax. Switched from an Intel i-3, which isnt a fair comparison, but does relieve the cpu bottleneck when paired with a GTX-970. Games run much smoother now at 1080p, 60fps.

Not the best there is but if you’re on a budget it will work very well. I have not experienced any performance problems while playing games or streaming.

No need to buy separate fan. Its quiet enough for me.

I went with this guy because of limitations on the system prevented me going for a 3000. Im not at all disappointed. Compared to my previous FX this is like comparing running to walking...
