I recommend this processor; it offers performance that matches its price. As with other processors in the series, I also recommend being cautious because an inconsistent issue sometimes occurs (an issue between the motherboard and the processor), which can "fry" the processor after a short period of use (a few days, months), but customer service is very responsive.
The perfect processor for any use, offering great value for money. LDLC is superb. Excellent customer service and information.
