Good processor, great price

Bought this for a new build, wanted to use mostly for video processing and photo editing, plus a little music editing and some light gaming. Agree with other reviewers that aftermarket cooling is needed. Paired with 8GB of DDR3 1333 memory it provides good processing speed and holds it own for most editing. Large files cause it to chug a bit, but I'm sure more memory would help that. A good video card is still a must, but this processor will get the job done, and the price was great, although the supplied software was mostly already outdated at the time of purchase.
