What People Are Saying Give it to me straight
Price
by Santos-Mathison (Jun, 2013)I am very happy with my new processor may be its not a corel i3 or i5, but intel g2020 has a excellent perfomance and excellent option for his price.
by R.-March--CRracer_912 (Aug, 2013)I am using Gskill Ripjaw 1600 RAM, but it is limited to 1333 due to this CPU (the 1600 RAM was cheaper at the time than the 1333 ram, compatible so why not).
by Fabian-Alejandro-Fariñas-Gil--Fabians19 (Jul, 2013)For this price you cant get another processor like this one, pair this with a b75 motherboard and you got a really nice cheap setup that can run a lot of new games at decent framerates.
Performance
by chris-cullen (Aug, 2013)Too often I think people buy a mid range CPU(I3) and pair it with a low end card and expect miracles when they'd often be better with a low-priced CPU(i.e. G2020) and using the extra money to get a little higher end GPU.
Gaming
by Andrew-Swanson (Oct, 2013)Bought this for a budget gaming build and it works great.
Instruction set
by Andrew-Swanson (Oct, 2013)Only thing is that it didn't come with very thorough instructions so a first time computer builder may need to do a little searching but otherwise a great CPU.
