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.

Built my first gaming PC yesterday and I'm super happy with it. A friend recommended the CPU and bought it. I am very surprised how well the CPU works and the price-quality ratio is very good.
