The product is really good, I'm glad I bought it.

If you need to assemble a universal system from scratch, this is a good option.
If it's itching to change the sandy/ivy i7 purely for gaming, I wouldn't recommend it.
Its pros:
8700K (BOX)

Powerful, factory overclocked, 6 cores / 12 threads - optimal, excellent rendering.
Up to 5GHz on the Z370 Extreme 4 is chasing with a bang. The truth is that I have enough in stock.
Video core more or less.
Its cons:
Heat dissipation, thermal paste under the hood, rebranding from year to year.
In games compared to 3770K (4.8 GHz) - no increase
Poor equipment in the box version.
