Overall I would recommend this to gamers only really as there's no integrated graphics, so you'll need a GPU for any display. Also without the iGPU you lose some extra features when it comes to CPU assisted render programs.
2 small caveats though, one of which I had to bump a star for 😥
1. This is a processor only (No onboard or integrated graphics) so you will need a GPU. I did not bump a star for this, as they state it in the product description, but I'm reiterating here just for clarification.
2. With this processor, RAM only runs at a Max of 2666, and only with the XMP enabled. I bumped a star for this because this was not something they made very aware to consumers, and I bricked one of these motherboards flashing it, thinking I used the wrong flash file from gigabyte and that's why it wasn't reading my ram at 3000. Small gripe but having to disassemble the entire build and rebuild it (mATX is tedious because of the small case, atleast for me) due to that missing bit of information, that was very frustrating.
Overall? Incredible processor for anyone on a budget, or building a secondary PC for gaming/streaming/whatever and don't want to spend a ton on it. I highly recommend it. I haven't tried streaming and gaming on this particular processor yet, but it runs so smoothly and with the recent optimizations to OBS, I'd dare to say this processor could handle that load.

NOW.
For my fellow gamers who are looking for an upgrade, and are only focusing on gaming performance, this is the BEST bang for your buck! I upgraded from an i5 3470 to this CPU and its working and performing just fine, and VERY noticeable improvements in gaming, especially those that are CPU intensive, note: I have and RX570 4gb and had to buy a new motherboard also.
I highly recommend!
