What customers say about "Details"
Intel Core i5-9400F Desktop Processor
- Awesome price point. Awesome power. I paired this with a gigabyte H310M A motherboard, super easy install.
- Installed and works fine with no problems.
- Great performance of a current generation processor at a bargain.
- Installation went quickly and easily.
- This CPU can run with any gpu presently and not bottleneck.
AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Desktop Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler
- Installation of AM4 chips is a breeze.
- First time building a PC and AMD make it painless with the AM4 chipset.
- It requires a Socket 4 motherboard. It's a pretty good middle-of-the-road price point.
- The Ryzen series processors (Now Gen 4) are all compatible with the AM4 socket. Good for my build.
- AM4 is not the simplest socket but I managed it.
