-At stock clocks this will beat any first gen i7 and will compete with a 2500k and 2600k
-At idle it runs at 33-37C with a stock heatsink
-Will run any modern game just fine as long as you have the GPU
-Integrated Graphics is good for what it is (Can run SC2 @720p with 60-100FPS)
Weaknesses:
-Limited Overclocking
-i5 2500k is not that much more so its better to get that if you have the money
-Stock Heatsink is not good for gaming
Summary:
This is a great CPU, but If you have the money to get a 2500k you should get that instead even if you are not into overclocking.
