There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
My review is directed towards gamers since you can run MS Word on a potato and if you do video production, the Core i-7 is the sweet spot.
Now breathe, relax your mind, and manage the excitement you have garnered from the prospect of not having to pay to play online with friends (ahem! plus-live-gold), SAVE UP an extra $100 - 150 and buy this processor. I bought the AMD X4 860k, then bought the Core i-3, and finally this i-5 in a 2 week period (returned the others).
Why? Because this is a much more superior CPU. It is faster, has 4 cores and a frequency of 3.20 GHZ. Also, it has integrated graphics (which is a plus weather gamers acknowledge it or not). If you want an unlocked sucker, get the 'K' version for an extra $20. I bought this because I exceeded my budget by about 30% (tee-hee). You are getting every dollar out of it. Not saying you are not getting a bang for your buck from the other processors mentioned, but after hours and hours of research, it only made sense to "Eat the extra cost" since I'll be doing content creation (I know, but the Core i-7 bleh-bleh-bleh). If you are in doubt, I recommend these YouTube reviewers to give detailed explanations of the or-15 6500
A special thanks to the YouTube Channels, Science Review, Digital Foundry, Hardware Unboxed, Austin Evans, JayZsTwoCents.
These Tech reviewers are professional and carry out extensive research and benchmarks for a wide variety of games. In fact, 'Hardware Unboxed' is my favorite because they run benchmarks for at least 12 - 20 different games! Crazy huh?
My thoughts:The year 2016 is winding down and newer titles will eventually show up: you do not want to regret not utilizing every aspect of your PC to enjoy the experience. A good example is the Division which is about to bring its player base up and release content all the way into 2017. even though you can use a NOT-Core-i5 processor to run it, the game's minimum requirement is a Core i-5 2400, which is also a very good CPU as well. Its even cheaper than this (you will save about $50 or more if you don't want to spend on this)
Here's my build for you to weigh the cost (PS I wasn't going for Shinny PC, but a powerhouse):
Rosewell Micro-ATX Case with 400W Power Supply: Initially $38 from Amazon;s warehouse deals. Got an extra 15% discount because it didn't come with screws, hence $33 Also 400W can power most GPU's but my GPU required 500W, so i bought another PSU :(
CPU: Core i5 6500 3.2 ghz: $203 - Ouch! To the wallet, but worth every single dollar. (If it goes on sale at a lower price, I still won't be mad)
RAM: Ballistix Sport LT 8GB Single DDR4 - $42.99
MOBO: Gigabyte LGA1151 Intel H110 Micro ATX DDR4 Motherboard GA-H110M-A - $49.99
GPU: MSI GAMING RX 480 GDDR5 4GB (it was the same price as an RX 470, so why not) - $199.99
PSU: EVGA 500 W1, 80+ WHITE 500W, - $35.99
Time: At lest 4-6 Hours
Miscallaneous: $45
All part prices are from Amazon.com at the time of this review.
My Hard Drive's were from my old computers and my monitor was also from an old PC as well. You have to understand, this is still under $700 if you add the cost of a monitor mouse and keyboard. It's twice the price of a recent console, but it will perform better. Plus, it is open ended (or "future proof" - don't lie the term). I can upgrade my GPU when the next Gen of consoles are released. And if I become a millionaire before then, I can upgrade to the Skylake's Core i-7 Even then, PC ports will be optimized for the masses!
CONCLUSION
You, as the potential buyer have to weigh the cost, but from my research, this is one of the better gaming PCs you can rig up right now. In fact, a pre-built PC with these components was selling for about $800 a few months ago.
So, if you are looking for a budget gaming Rig, ensure you have a strong CPU and GPU. Prices fluctuate, so keep an eye out to get the best value for your money.
PRO: - Runs cooler, and consumes less power than previous generation i5 processors - on-par with previous generation i3 processors!
CON: - Only modest raw performance gains over the last several i5 generations, which is probably to be expected.
My Current System Build:
- PHANTEKS Enthoo Evolv mATX Aluminum Case (White) - $129.99
- ENERMAX Revolution X't ATX 530 Watt Gold-Rated Power Supply (ERX530AWT) - $79.99
- GIGABYTE LGA-1151 Intel H110 mATX DDR4 Motherboard (GA-H110M-S2HP) - $76.99
- KINGSTON HyperX FURY Black 16GB (2x8GB) 2133MHz DDR4 CL14 Memory (HX421C14FBK2/16) - $96.99
- INTEL Core I5-6500 3.20Ghz LGA-1151 Processor - $199.99
- EVGA GeForce GTX 960 4GB FTW GAMING ACX 2.0+, Graphics Card (04G-P4-3969-KR) - $184.99
- INTEL 240GB SATA 2.5" SSD (DC S3500 Enterprise Class) - Primary Boot/OS Drive - $159.99
- WESTERN DIGITAL 1TB SATA 3.5" HDD - Secondary Drive - $59.99
- WESTERN DIGITAL 500GB SATA 2.5 HDD - Misc. Storage/Backup Drive - $49.99
- HP BH40N Blu-ray DVD Internal 5.25 Drive - $37.99
- Planar 1600x900 20" LED Monitor + HP 1920x1080 27" IPS Monitor
Update 6/8/2018 - Still running great! All the components seem to mesh very well together, with no bottlenecks or weak-links. 1920x1080 or 1600x900 gaming performance is perfect!
After a couple years of using pretty heavily it has shown some age, however, nothing major. It sometimes will display a little lag and get slow, however, nothing to hinder performance in gaming or nothing to slow your work day down.
Top reviews from other countries
Badly optimized games aside, it will play most games flawlesy. I played portal without a GPU and it was brilliant. Paired with the good old NVidia GTX1080 I play Mortal Kombat 10/11 with the graphics maxed out no problem. Provided the game is optimized well it will play nicely... might need to lower the graphics though.
L'IPC (instruction per clock) sur 1 Coeur dépasse largement tout processeur AMD actuel. Fourni de 4 coeurs, 8 threads, pour les ordinateur de jeu il est largement suffisant.
Couplé à une R9 390 il ne sera jamais le point faible de votre rig pour du jeu. Pour jouer à n'importe quel jeu en 1440p il est largement suffisant.
Si maintenant vous êtes un enthousiaste de l'overclocking et des benchmarks extremes, allez chercher plus puissant, mais personnellement je n'en vois pas l'intérêt (pour le jeu en tous cas).
Même avec le Ventirad de stock il reste froid (comptez 50C-60C max). Je pense qu'aujourd'hui il s'agit du meilleur rapport qualité/prix pour tout gamer.
Amazon fast delivery is an exception
Works like a charm I setup everything myself and I did this for this time that I built my own rig
This processor is enough to work games like Cs go and CS 1.6 and the games like ps1 and ps2 as well ... I am sure you will be happy with this product !
Estuve dudando entre coger el I5 6400 y este y me decante por el I5 6500 ya que es un poco mas potente por poco dinero mas. Creo que he acertado eligiendo este ultimo ya que a la larga se notara.
Recomiendo comprar este procesador para tareas que sean mas exigentes a la ofimática, como por ejemplo diseño o juegos. Es recomendable comprar un disipador de otra marca que sea mas silencioso y enfríe mas ya que el de stock se queda un poco corto
