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

Great even with a 1050ti

Recently decided to try AMD for the first time mostly because of my budget and a recommendation from a friend. I use to have an Intel Core i5 4690k @ 3.50GHZ and was looking to upgrade my rig but my budget was roughly $600.. Was going to originally buy an Intel Core i5-9600K 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor - That was priced at $250 but was told by multiple friends that the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X is equivalent to an Intel Core i7 and some online posts have said that the performance on the Ryzen 7 is actually better - And all for the price of $250 the same price as the Intel i5 I was going to buy..

Just buy it. This CPU is an absolute slam-dunk.

Mine goes up to 4.1 GHz with only 3-11 % utilisation while doing normal tasks.

I did take off one star for ease of use - as the cooler clamp is a bear and a half to install. I bought an aftermarket cooler to avoid this (I literally thought I would break my last motherboard while installing the cooler clamp bracket).

So far got my product cant do anything with it since it doesnt not state that there are not brackets to hold down the CPU cooler. Had to order separately after the fact and wait 3 extra days to power my computer.

Came working well. However, make sure that your cpu isnt on max voltage when buying. For example, when I plugged mine into my new motherboard, it was running at 1.5-1.6 Voltage, which is crazy high - not safe at all for your CPU and the components within your computer. I had to manually adjust the voltage down to 1.3 V so that I wont burn out my computer parts.

does everything i need and then some...

pros:

Has been great so far. No complaints.
