This 2700X was the best of the best from AMD at the time of launch. This is a great option for someone looking to get the best price with the capabilities of running any game nowadays at high settings. This isn't the processor to pair with a 4090. But is a great way to get into PC gaming for cheap. This processor was pulled out of my computer as I upgraded. They both work great! I also have a CPU cooler listed which will work on this platform.
