Pros Easy to overclock, runs cool, doesn't use much energy.
Cons May require a large hsf replacement, as the stock HSF is not very good.
Recommended it? Yes

This is the processor I am using day in and day out and it is by far the best piece of hardware I have ever owned. Not only does it work perfectly and stay cool, it over-clocks like no tomorrow.

Cons -Included fan is cheap<br>-Not so good for the most CPU-intensive tasks

This is a great processor, definitely powerful enough for almost all users. This is more than enough for even hardcore gamers, and is a much faster processor than even the 8-core AMD CPU's. I am using this processor in my current PC, and it has performed admirably. I can overclock to 4.4 Ghz,... Read full review »

Intel's i5 2500k is Currently The Gamer's Choice

I'm a hardcore PC gamer. There, I admitted it. When I was upgrading my gaming rig a few months ago I did some extensive research on what was currently the best CPU for the price. That CPU was the i5 2500k.
