Good choice for budget workstations and home media servers

Has been running on my server for a few months now, no problems. A great choice for a home media server, fast sync transcodes multiple 1080p streams, even 4k gets the job done with ease while still hitting it with almost no issues. However, if you're planning on buying it for gaming or really demanding tasks like rendering, consider something higher in the 100-200 range. Perhaps it's better to spend a little more as this will definitely become your bottleneck quickly when you combine it even with a low-end GPU capable of running modern games at 1080p. This processor would also be a good choice for a basic workstation (e.g. word processing, web surfing). Budget PC, especially since it has integrated graphics and a cooler.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • embarrassing
