Great bang for buck, AMD has done it again!

review by jlloyd13

I almost bought an athlon ii x3 and a 6570, but with just a day with this im happy i didnt. The graphics are just a little less, but the cpu is much better its 32nm i have the option of dual graphics and i got a better board for the same price (matx but 8pin power just $80). Really happy, on lower settings the thing played crisis 2! Oh and its black edition, so overclock the crap out out of it! Im not overclocking yet, but the average seems to be cpu 3.8ghz gpu 950mhz before the wall.

A8-3870k Amazing little chip!!!

review by dimaggio1103

Grabbed this thing on sale and I am impressed. Not only can this thing handle most games at low to medium settings, It can also be overclocked well. Pair this with a decent CPU cooler and you got your self the best sub 500 dollar gaming rig I have ever seen.
