Great for budget build

Great CPU for a budget build like mine works as should.
2865089
Pros:
-Powerful enough for a budget gaming CPU.
-Awesomely responsive when paired with an SSD and DDR3 1600 RAM. Boots in 15 seconds in Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
-Better integrated graphics than the previous generation CPUs.
-Faster memory controller than the 3220 which only supports DDR1333. This supports DDR3 1600. Yes, it makes a noticeable difference.

Cons:
No "legitimate" cons considering the price point.
Doesn't really overclock
Higher wattage/ heat than with the previous generation Ivy Bridge due to the voltage regulators being added to the CPU (previously on the motherboards) but this is only a slight increase in voltage and temps over my Ivy bridge Pentium.

Other thoughts:
I tried this out in 2 different systems, trying to figure what I wanted to do with it.
System 1) Budget gaming PC: I originally paired this with my old Nvidia GTX460 and 8GB of dual channel DDR3 1600 RAM with 8-8-8-21 latencies for a second gaming computer. This processor was able to keep up with my GTX 460 graphics card, which is still quite a respectable gaming card, without any problems or bottlenecking. This was able to play Crysis2, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Skyrim, and other titles on high/ ultra graphics settings without any noticeable lags or stutters. I believe the key is that my budget build utilized the full potential of this chip's fast memory controller. Consoles like the Xbox One and PS4 utilize MUCH weaker CPU's than this one and get away with it because of the fast memory controllers and large memory bandwidths inherent to their architectures. This little CPU has a fast memory controller and when paired with low-latency DDR3 modules, essentially this little CPU performs as though it was given an overclock. I am really not a hardcore gamer (more of an enthusiast) and if I didn't already have an i7-2600K based gaming rig, I'd be happy with this as my only gaming rig in a heartbeat.

System2) I paired this with just 2 x2GB of DDR3 1600 and my old 40GB Intel SSD (first generation) and tried out my new MicroATX HTPC build, I was shocked at how responsive this was. The Integrated graphics and the ridiculous speed/ responsiveness of this thing in everyday tasks made me realize that for a non-gaming HTPC this processor was amazing by itself. I watch 1080p video, and even do some light gaming (old EA sports titles and strategy games) and this thing never disappoints. The integrated graphics sort of fall into that "good enough" category where if you just want to watch movies, this is overkill, but if you want to play some strategy games from your online Steam Library, you can do it without a dedicated GPU. I even played League of Legends without a Video card. It worked just fine.

I have a small rig for casual gaming. I bought this as an upgrade from an old 5570, and it was just what I needed. It's very small and fits perfectly in smaller cases. Perfect for budget pc's. I have played a variety of games with it, with a very stable performance. Played games like Bioshock Infinite (including dlc), Diablo 3, Far Cry 3, Batman Arkham Origins, and more recently The Evil Within at max settings without any issues in performance or fps drops. The fan works quietly and even under heavy load is not loud at all. Power consumption is very low, as it doesn't need external power.
Drivers are easy to find and install. Nvidia Geforce Experience software works fine, although the optimizer does not recognize all games (happens often with my steam games). Shadow Play is a good tool for recording gameplay, but it could be a little bit more polished.

Upgraded from an AMD 4100 FX Quad Core. Brought me from 15fps to 30fps playing GTAV Online with moderate settings. Gets the job done for budget builds.

Great budget motherboard. First skylake build and it's fantastic.

Great value for money.

Perfect for a simple, budget build. No sharp edges, everything works. May not be suitable if you have a big CPU cooler or a graphics card. My 10 year old daughter was able to assemble her first PC without any issues.
Cons:
Ports have a cheap feel. Front fan seems useless as many have pointed out. There is no cable management whatsoever - should not be a surprise considering $20 price tag.

I needed a budget graphics card for my computer build I was finishing up, and chose this one based off price and brand. I have a gaming laptop with an NVIDIA GTX card, and quite honestly is a beast. This one actually does not fall too far behind! This is however meant for entry-level gaming, but that doesn't mean you can't game with it, because you can! Just don't expect max settings in an over-1080p-resolution setup for games like Crysis 3 and the like. But all in all it is a stronger card than the price might imply!

Bought this 'lil pup for my first build ever. Still cranking away after 2+ years. I do light to moderate gaming and this meets the demands. If you're looking to do a cheap build ($400-$500), go with this card.

Really good budget processor. I use it with my MSI 970 Gaming motherboard. Runs about any game i can throw at it!

This is the best budget gaming case. It's a little wider and taller than my last one.
My only beef with it is that I had to put a lot of pressure on the MOBO to screw it in correctly.

This thing hides cords and is very sturdy. All metal. Fans everywhere. The switches and stuff on the top work well. No issues.

Great board for a moderate build. I bought two of these for two different systems and the experience with them both were identical.

Pros: Did not have any issues at all during installation. The board is pretty sturdy and the PCI-E slots are very sturdy. There is plenty of room between the PCI-E x16 and x1 slots so installing additional cards was no issue at all. The front i/o connectors were a breeze to install with the additional tool that Gigabyte provided to make it one plug instead of many. The ambient lighting is a nice touch but could use some more customization. Overall great board for someone not planning on over-clocking or enthusiasts.

Cons: Ambient lighting is stuck at one color, but does have a few settings to change the effects. Only has 3 fan headers (not counting the CPU fan header) and could definitely use more as I have 4 fans in my case and plan on adding at least one more.

Exactly what you want for a great price. This is perfect for a budget build PC. If you're not looking for all the fancy bells and whistles, this should suit your needs perfectly.

I have been looking for a cheap computer case under $50 so I could finish building my pc. Fortunately, I found this case, which was within my budget and worth what I paid for it. By no means is it a perfect case.

Pros:
- Great looking Case!
- There is a lot of space to fit what ever components needed inside.
- Built-in fan and Blue LEDs makes it look even more appealing.
- LCD Display with CPU temperature and time is a Great addition.
- Plenty of screws included with the case.

Cons:
- LCD Display is only is Celsius and I have not found out how to Change it to Fahrenheit. (Or if it is even possible)
- Case Metal is a bit thinner than other cases.

Overall, This is a Great Case to buy if you are on a tight budget and are looking for an attractive computer case.

Nice tower and it's well built with a minimum of plastic. Space is a bit tight though so forget about putting any large cpu cooling upgrades into it because it just isn't wide enough with the side panel fans. Cable management is also a bit tricky but it's workable. I did manage to mod it enough to get an Nvidia 970 gtx in there, but it was not easy, lol, and nothing else is going in any of those slots for sure. Best used for a very nice mid-range build.

This is the first tower I have bought for a planned build on a budget. More than I wanted to pay for but seeing all the reviews and reading information on other sites I was rather anxious about buying a cheaper box. Everyone i looked at before said cheap materials, bent parts, Missing hardware, or made so small it could short out the motherboard. After lots of research and late nights of window shopping I found this one, looked at reviews, other websites and read that the brand was good. I fit in my motherboard for my current cheap computer just to see if there was room and sure enough there is plenty of room to spare for parts. I don't see using all the HD slots, but I am glad there is extra room to grow in the future.

This is a great little board for 45 dollars. I bought another gigabyte board for almost twice the price first and it was defective. I bought this one to replace it and it worked great right out of the box.

There is only one PCI slot and only one PCIe also, so that's not many and it also doesn't have many hookups for fans (I think only 1 CPU fan and 1 case fan).

Installing and plugging everything was really easy and I had this installed and up and running in under 1 hour.
I would buy again. especilly for under 50 bucks

Works fine for budget system.

Tried with RX 460,RX 470, GTX 960 and GTX 750 TI does not seem o create a great bottle-neck.

Can overclock with decent cooler such Wraith or Hyper 212 EVO to around 4.4 GHZ.

Excellent for sleeper rig, theater pc or any budget build.

Usually in 50 to 60 FPS in all modern title with either RX 460 on Mid to low setting and with a RX 470 high settings.
