Snappy CPU for budget build, general use PC. Performs well in single threaded as well as multi-threaded applications. Games well on the CPU side but don't expect too much on the integrated video side. If your looking for a cheap gaming CPU, this will work well when paired with a entry to mid-level dedicated video card. If your doing a lot of video rendering, go with an i3 or i5 for the hyper-threading. It likes memory, so feed it 8 GB of DDR3 -1333. Low power is a bonus. Stock cooler works fine with this CPU.
I installed this in a computer that I built. I purchased it because of price and specs. The performance has been everything I expected - therefore I have been very pleased. I like the Intel processors and have had good success with them the times that I have used them.
We are using this for a low budget gamming rig. It is paired up with 16 GB DDR3, Radeon 7950 2GB, and 6 gbps SSD, running Win 7 Ult. With two cores this works great for Minecraft, Command and Conquer, Sims 3, Skyrim, Lego games. As all of these games can't use more than one core anyway.
