I7 8700K Gaming Computer Gtx 1080

My gaming PC with GTX 1080 kept crashing during gaming and I believed it had to do with the cheap PSU I had.� After some research I decided on this SeaSonic unit since it is a brand many enthusiasts recommend, and it was having a $30 rebate at the time of my purchase.� I was impressed with the packaging by SeaSonic, and I like that it is fully modular.� The most important thing is that after replacing my PSU with this new unit, my PC has been running rock solid so far even after hours of gaming.� I have not experience a single crash yet.� Also it comes with 12 yrs of warranty which gives me a peace of mind.

Got this to replace gtx 1080 ti.. went from 170 fps on asetta corsa benchmark to 370 fps.. this card has no problem with iracing using quest 3 at max res and 120 refresh..

Decided to give my 8700k pc to my wife to replace her very old i7-3820 pc she uses for office work. I ended up going AMD this time and bought this to pair with the 7600x. I love Asus, never had a problem with them in the past, and this one didn't disappoint. I did have to update the BIOS to get it to post but after that there were no problems. I didn't need the WIFI but it can be a backup. This will be a good board if I decide to upgrade the processor in the future.

My previous system had an Intel i7-2600K doing the work. To say that the i7-8700K blows it away is stating the obvious. It's faster and more efficient in every way. Video encoding is more than 3X faster in my few tests. 7th & 8th generation Intel CPUs also have the necessary hardware to playback even UHD Blu-ray. In my case it was time for a system upgrade and there were a lot of choices. Last generation's 7700K had come down in price and AMD Ryzen CPUs offer more cores for the price. I chose the 8700K due to the maturity of the platform, it works beautifully, I've had no software or hardware issues. Of course you will need a new motherboard as you would with a Ryzen and maybe memory too. If you decide to go with the 8700K it will give you years of service. There are always new products coming around, if you're in the market I think this is a good choice now. Availability is limited but should increase so be patient and don't buy one marked up in price.

Wow. The graphics are incredible (using ASUS ROG GTX 1080 A8G STRIX) and gameplay is very fun and realistic.

I'm traveling for now; and my gtx 970 desktop's PSU fried so i needed something to haul around that's more portable. bought the Lenovo LOQ with the i7-13700h cpu, 16 gigs ram, 4050 GPU on sale when it was 749.99; it became one of BH's top sellers and for good reason. for this price, it was a no brainer. it beats out all the competitors. there were no corners cut with this model. you're getting best in class CPU- a 13700h- not an i5 or a lesser i7 like a 13620h. No, you're getting the best intel has to offer which includes the faster memory (5600mhz). With this Lenovo LOQ, you're getting the best 4050 series laptop money can buy. PERIOD. and for hundred(s) of dollars less. the 6gb video card may bother some people, but one of the hardest pills to swallow is to be honest with yourself. people like the idea of future proofing (which i myself like as well). but will you honestly buy that future triple-A title that needs the 4060? i told myself back in 2019 i'd buy Cyberpunk 2077. 4 years later, i still haven't bought it and dont plan on doing so. I literally have a backlog of Triple-A games i haven't even touched: Witcher 2 and 3; the entire batman series (asylum, city, knight, etc), and many... many more. All of which this Laptop can play on Ultra with 60+frames!! - waay better than my gtx 970 desktop could ever do. it all comes down to knowing what your needs are and what works for you. for me... this Laptop is easily one of the best purchases i've made. HANDS DOWN.

I’ve upgraded from a 5820k to the 8700k. I do see a noticeable improvement with gaming and raw file post processing with LR. It’s simply a more efficient cpu. If you have an open chassis and use a easy liquid cooling HS, things get better. I haven’t overclocked it yet, I don’t see the need with turbo reaching 4.7ghz. Hackintosh is definitely possible with this platform. No regrets upgrading.

I needed an upgrade after 5 years and I feel so much better with this compared to my 8700K. VR Gaming has been amazing so far paired with my 4090. Unity and Blender work feels more fluid. If you have not upgraded for a long time, the X3D series from AMD is the way to go.

Very good card for gaming triple a games. Coming from an old GTX 1070, this is way more powerful. Two negatives would be that I needed to get a larger pc case to accommodate the card and its support mount. And the heat coming from this thing during gaming is wild hot. Other than that it’s awesome.

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.
