Gives Intel a Run For Their High Prices
Fantastic processor! I am very please with the speed eight cores has to offer. Most of the time, even when I'm multitasking, the processor doesn't even utilize all eight core because it doesn't need to. Multitask like a boss with the FX-8150 or get the FX-8350 to multitask like a sir ;)

WOW Plus some.
I tend to over build for what I need in order to get some longevity from a build. This FX-8150 is mounted onto a MSI 990FXA motherboard. The performance is amazing, programs snap to life, pages are up instantly, A bit spendy but I'm hoping for 7 years from a build, that comes out to $25.71 per year or about $2.15 per month.
