MSI N660 TF 2GD5/OC G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 660 2GB 192-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
MSI N660 TF 2GD5/OC G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 660 2GB 192-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: Plays everything I've tried at high to ultra settings with 60 fps for around 170 after rebate.

Cons: No MSI sticker?

Overall Review: Plays BF4 on high with around 60fps, never dropping below 50fps. Came with assassin's creed 4 but was only getting 30 fps. Figured out that this was an issue with the game not the card. But honestly, why include a game with frame rate locking issues with a new graphics card? Someone a little less experienced may mistake the gpu as the problem so maybe give out a different, smoother playing game?

Decent card

PowerColor Radeon HD 7850 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card AX7850 2GBD5-DH
PowerColor Radeon HD 7850 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card AX7850 2GBD5-DH

Pros: Great price for the performance.... when working properly Plays bf3, black ops 2, and every other steam game I have flawlessly on at least high settings.

Cons: Doesn't like league of legends (very unstable frame rates) , even after trying every driver known to man and trying a clean install of everything. Had it for around 20 days when I started noticing issues such as blue lines randomly flashing across screen during gaming. Also I had some issues with my dual monitor set up with this card.

Overall Review: Upgraded from a 550ti to this 7850 and luckily the problems occured right before the 30 day mark so I was able to get a refund. Chose to go back green and got the 650ti boost.

works great

Pros: by far the cheapest pc steering wheel around and it works perfectly for my needs. made dirt 3 fun for me n my 5 year old son again. vibration does work if you use the 32 bit version.

Cons: definitely on the small side but not too small to where it's uncomfortable for me.

Cooler Master SickleFlow 120 - Sleeve Bearing 120mm Green LED Silent Fan for Computer Cases, CPU Coolers, and Radiators

Pros: very cheap ($3 after rebate), green leds

Cons: very loud, and i mean VERY loud, leds not super bright

Overall Review: installed in the door of my cm scout and my rig is now extremely noisy. previously just had the 2 140mm and 1 120 mm fans included with the case and you could barely hear it. now it makes a high pitch noise that literally drowns out the sound of my ceiling fan lol. this is the second sf fan i've purchased and honestly wasn't impressed with the first but im a sucker for a deal and they're always on sale. also, it seems to me that these move less air than the black cm fans that you can purchase a 4 pack of for less than $15.
