As long as it all works, I would say it is a great deal. Wish I had gotten mine for that amount.

It goes down better than you would expect.

Yeah, to compare, the 4C/8T Ryzen CPUs will cost starting $170. 4-Core i7s better cost this little or I won't recommend them.

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

Worth it.

If you OC the 4790k to 4.5GHz it will be almost equal to stock 7700k in performance.

Haswell is still kicking strong for another few years.

 

You basically paid $150 for something that is worth at least $350 and probably $400.
