Pros

I am amazed at how it is handling all that i am throwing at it. Can't complain, these are a great value for the money. Thanks amazon for the fast shipping as well.

It runs cool just over 85f using stock heat sink and two case fans. Make sure you buy an aftermarket cpu heatsink/cooler because the stock one is horrible. The only downside is the * cooling fan. This can be fixed by adding an after market cooler to t... Read More

Price

I've heard great things about the i3 line in sandy bridge and the price was right.

I will upgrade to an i7 later when the price comes down, but for now i am well pleased with this i3-2120.

The price seems to fluctuate between 112~118.

The new athlon 750k costs $75, and the new pentium 20th anniversary edition is about $75 and it's unlocked (finally!

Shipping

Thanks amazon for the fast shipping as well.
