They're very good CPU's especially if you get a good overclock on them, the newer games are starting to like their HT quite a lot in my opinion so they are very solid processors, quite a few of the members on here still use them in fact. But the motherboards are sky high in price for some reason which is a shame because I'd quite like a 1366 system myself to be honest.I5 2500K @ 4.7GHz| Maximus IV Extreme | 8GB Predator DDR3 | Crossfire Radeon 5850| BeQuiet!
