Intel Core i5 660 CPU

I am upgrading my son's PC to i7 and the first thing to go is this very high grade i5 CPU which he has had for 2 years. It is still considered a high level processor and is graded as faster than some i7 CPUs.  It has been used for games mostly and has performed exactly as advertised.

If you want a new one it will still cost in the region of R2 000.00.
