I have this processor in my gaming PC together with a GTX1070Ti on a motherboard with Z370 chipset. This means that the CPU can be overclocked, although I didn't need that until now. I play all games at the highest quality and the processor should never go to 100%. The 6 cores of this processor are certainly sufficient for productive work. However, if you want a little more performance when processing photo or video, you can go for its big brother (8700K), which has another logical core per physical core, bringing the total to 12 cores.

Strong and fast CPU that is very suitable for overclocking. In combination with a GTX1070, it is one of the better gaming CPUs on the market. The CPU is also very economical compared to my old AMD which draws at least 25Watts more. Because it is so economical, the temperature of the CPU is also kept under control.
