What's great about it: Incredible Speed
What's not so great: Could be cheaper I suppose, it cost $314 when I bought it.
I have built my fair share of PC's over the years, but this was my first i7 rig that I put together myself (I have a Dell Precision M6500 i7 laptop), I use this for building multimedia projects for work using After Effects and Avid and coming from a Q6600 it feels like I've more than doubled my power. I also do some high end gaming and wanted to be ready to play Battlefield 3 at the highest settings, using 8 gb of ram and a HD 6950 2gb card, I absolutely steam roll anything I throw at the computer. I play all games in 1920x1080 with everything maxed, no problem.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's not so great: Most upgrade the motherboard due that is a new chipset.

What's not so great: Nothing
The best processor ive used so far.... i used this one for my own personal computer for a extreme gaming platform. Easily overclockable to 4 Ghz+ (Recommended that you use a third-party cpu cooler like the CM Hyper 212+ or CM V8)
