I suppose I should've told you more. I'm just thinking, is it worth it to buy this instead of something like a 5820K when it's at a price like this?

its only at 2ghz, and it wouldn't perform that well...

wow that is some click-bait

 

"special static free shock absorbing case"   Um the stock plastic sleeve?

"a piece e of thermal conductive grease...as a gift"  Lol, thanks for the 30 cents... how about giving away a heat sink?

"compatible with x99 i7-5820k 5930k 5960x"  how is this compatible with a 5820K?  do i need a dual CPU MOBO?? LOL

What is a branded computer? are they saying no MSI,gigabit, ASUS... MOBO?  

 

 

That said 8 cores 16 threads, 1.8 to 2.9 GHz... so I guess if your doing a lot of video rendering, sure why not maybe you can grab a 5960x in a few years.  But if you plan on gaming then no...

Well, what do you intend to use the build for?

 

If it's for gaming, you may as well go with the 5820K (like I am, wink wink).

I know... I'm just saying that most new built systems will use DDR4 now. The prices of DDR3 and DDR4 are pretty close

The future is now
