Nice general purpose CPU, for lightweight workloads, HD media, and mid-range gaming
Bought this to throw together a quick Low Profile Home Theater PC for my living room to replace my old Core2Duo tower, and to fit everything on a shelf. Already had an old LP case, SSD, and 270W power supply. Bought this CPU used off Ebay, which is about 20~30% less than buying retail; as well as an microATX motherboard and an 8GB stick of RAM, for a total extra cost of 140 bucks. Didn't need a low profile GPU, because this has Intel Graphics built in, enough to do anything I expect from a living room PC, like watch HD movies, or play things like Skyrim at decent settings. I am using an old Intel stock cooler for the Pentium D, which is almost identical to, but slightly heavier than the i3 stock cooler. This processor has very low power consumption for a non-mobile CPU, so there is room for heavier loads or overclocking, if needed. For a future GPU upgrade, to run more demanding games, one could consider anything above the HD7750 or 8800GT range, like an RX or GTX. Because this is a very common CPU and very common socket, there should be upgrade/replacement parts available for a long time. My OS is W7U; but any recent Windows should also work.

Faux leather replacement for broken cloth armrest
Made of better material than my old armrest, but still matches color. Easy to install. Feels very nice.
