Cheapest I7 Gaming Computer

This processor is perfect for my needs of gaming. I was on the fence about the i7 vs this one and I wasn't disappointed with the performance.

I wanted to repurpose a older I7 based workstation to gaming and this graphics card was a good upgrade since I had a limited amount of power and space available. MSI seem to always make quality products and B & H did their part just fine.

My son just put together in a system with an ASUS ROG Strix X570-I Gaming Mini ITX AMD Motherboard, 32 GB Memory, 2 tb NVME. Used his old 2060 Video Card since still can't get the 3080 and still the machine seems incredibly fast compared to his old i7-9700. Windows installed in minutes and his Oculus Rift S runs smoother than ever. In the past it seemed the Ryzen 7's were lagging behind the i7's but does not appear so anymore. Big fan, highly recommend this CPU. 8 Cores - 16 Threads and just a beast of a processor!

I recently built a gaming pc with a i7 13700KF and this cooler cools the CPU wonderfully. It is very quiet most of the time, and even if the fan speed is spinning as fast as it can, it is still quiet enough to not be heard well if headphones are being worn. Even then, the fan rarely need to go that fast and the only time I have personally heard it go that fast was when I turned up the RPM in the BIOS. It really is a great cooler and I recommend it.

Purchased this motherboard as the backbone of a new gaming rig. populated with an Intel i7-14700KF, 64GB of Corsair Dominator RAM, 4TB of Samsung M.2 storage and topped with an ASUS RTX 4070Ti graphics board. build went quickly and booted up successfully first time. This has been the result with all of the ASUS M/Bs that I have purchased for my gaming, engineering design and simulation and business applications. I do not consider other brands when I need to build another machine, no reason to switch.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently built a gaming / photo editing machine with an i7-13700kf (with an AIO cooler), 64gb DDR5 RAM, an RTX 4080, and this absolutely huge 4tb SSD. This dream rig will serve for years of editing concert photography and playing games like Cyberpunk 2077.

I bought it for my use, but my son uses it for his gaming computer. Love it!

I cloned a spinnie original HDD in an HP 800/i7 computer onto this SDD and it DOES speed thing up noticeably. Hopefully, with Sandisk's reputation, it'll out last me. Good price and super fast shipping. My 1st B&H purchase, at my son's recommendation

I purchased this computer from a local computer store - i7/32GB/1TB and paid $100 more. After doing some research, I found this version. It arrived on time, is very fast- a little bit heavier than the i7 and contrary to other reviews, I have found the speaker quality to be fantastic. Using this in grad school and it is awesome!

I installed this in a new computer I built with a Intel i7 2600 processor and 16 GB Corsair Vengance memory with a XFX HD 5770 video card and it makes for a very fast computer for editing very large video files and Raw images. This hard drive is fast and very quiet. Great drive!
