I tried myself (as a PC component layman) well informed about recent processors before. My choice was then on this one. It was also my first attempt, processor and motherboard to replace itself (motherboard was due because of the new base). Trial reasonably successful: although had a pro at the end make the cabling, but I have not sent despite several failed attempts and first made to tighten the hardware over Jordan. So much for that. I use the computer mainly for work, for play, and also known as "cutting and burning workshop" for self-recorded videos. Noticeable for me on the installation of the new processor (previously werkelte a AMD X2 in it): significant increase in performance when editing videos (magicx software). The rendering of the videos is not only much faster, but I can now also make things the way - for example, to continue writing in Word, run other applications leave etc. Therefore simply top. In some games, the performance has improved (charging time, liquid), without that I could quantify exactly / could measure (bottleneck the graphics card remains, of course). On RAM I have not changed (12 GB).
Therefore: I am fully satisfied - and even as sensitive as intended hardware is then not always. He finally survived Even my first self-installation. ;-)
Thanks also to all Amazon users who answered in advance questions. Buy recommendation.
