Cpu I5 8600K Pc Parts Picker

Coming from a 650w that was struggling with my 1080 Ti and my 8600k. (My PC no longer turns off while I am gaming, so I can go back to uploading videos of my crazy PUBG moments.)  I am very happy that I went with Seasonic, not only was it affordable, but it is silent.  Did a lot of research on the Prime series and concluded that it would of fit me well. All I wanted was a PSU that would let me enjoy my 1080 Ti: that is exactly what I purchased. Everything from the packaging to the product was superb quality.

First time building my own PC, I used this case with PCpart picker and it fits everything perfectly. It's got a wonderful little back panel section to run wires through a non-visible section of the case that helps make everything inside look nice and pretty. Seems super durable, all the sensitive (glass and plastic) surfaces come with plastic on them to protect them while shipping. Super solid feeling and honestly just feels like a high quality case. Steal of a deal!

I added this into my Windows 7 4th Gen i5 movie server.   It had trouble transcoding 4k videos on the fly (the CPU would peg at 100%).  I added this card in and updated all the drivers.  Now video transcoding is being offloaded to the card instead of CPU and I can now push multiple 4k files at the same time without breaking a sweat.  Much cheaper than rebuilding the whole server with a new generation of CPU/MoBo/RAM etc.

Came from i7 7700k to i5 12600k is a massive improvement, with 299 price is a great CPU for this price Highly Recommend this CPU.

Coming from a i5-6500 this was a massive upgrade. I run two 1440p monitors and it gets ALL task done no problem with speed. I do recommend undervolting the cpu due to its high thermal temps. With undervolting my CPU hits a max 65c playing CPU intensive games and a max of 82c running CPU benchmarks with a 280mm AIO water cooler. 10/10 would recommend.

Before upgrading to this CPU, my i5-6600K was hitting near 100% while my 3070 stayed around 40%. Now my 3070 is near 100% and this CPU remains around 15-35%.

Just for PC parts protection during assembly.

I installed an i5 cpu, M.2 drive and 32G of memory on this Gigabyte motherboard along with Windows 11 and it is very quick and running cool with a DeepCool LS520 WH.

Workstation / Gaming PC build - I have 4 VM running and playing a games at the same time. The cpu doesn’t even feel the workload. Keeping it less than 50% cpu load. Amazing I keep throwing heavy task at this machine and I am not stressing the cpu at all. Build. X570 motherboard 64 GB RAM AIO cooler Nvme drive Nvidia 2080 I was one of the lucky ones to get this at the launch. Shout out to the B&H support team. They are the best. Love this CPU. Wish I could of gotten the new AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT to go with my CPU. Either way. I am enjoying this build. Thank you B&H.

Honestly, I haven't been able to tell the difference since switching from an i5 3570K without benchmarking it. With that said, seems like my pc is running cooler and a pump in fps for cyberpunk.
