Great card
Pros: Awesome budget card. This card will handle SWTOR on max with no problems at all. Handles new vegas just as well. This card will carry you to the 8000 series if you're on a budget.
Cons: Can't really think of any. It's a budget 6000 series card. In 2011, this card would handle ANYTHING. Unfortunately, it's not 2011.
Overall Review: Huge bang for the buck. If you're looking for a quick upgrade at a low cost, this is the card to get. This will definitely be going in my work rig when I upgrade to the 8000 series. No complaints, got what I paid for.
It's good
Pros: I've been running it for about a month with no problems. It'll handle within it's limits. There's no false advertising here. It's amazing for a cheap board. I game on it and haven't had any issues.
Cons: Doesn't come with a laser to incinerate my enemies with.
Overall Review: It's good. There's a bios update for FX chips, but the site says that you do it at your own risk. I'm emailing them about it.
Great RAM
Pros: It's fast. I'm running it downclocked at 1333 per my processor spec [AMD Athlon II x4 610e 2.4 Ghz 45W], but it still feels fast. It looks amazing, it's hefty, the heatsinks keep them very cool without dedicated cooling.
Cons: It's meant for Intel? Still runs beautifully in my AMD rig.
Overall Review: I've had this RAM for about a month. It's been run through 6 cycles of windows memory diagnostic and extensively scanned through MemTest. These Sticks are meant for gaming. They are made for the intel platform, but they will work just fine in an AMD machine.
Pros: I'm a Mini ITX enthusiast. This processor only requires 45W and it is a beast. 2.4 GHZ at 45W is astounding. I've stressed tested this CPU running a game, rendering a hi def video, downloading a song, and streaming a 1080p movie and not one core hit 100%. I'm using an Akasa low profile heatsink fan with arctic silver 5. This CPU doesn't get over 45C with that heatsink fan and in my Armor A30 case.
Cons: Not one.
Overall Review: If you're looking to build a mini ITX gaming PC and want 4 cores, get this. I wanted a Phenom II x4, but my CPU wattage allowance was only 45W so I went with this. I was ordering it with dread until I watched some stress tests on youtube and saw what this CPU is capable of. Do not hesitate. And remember. 2 Gs or RAM PER CORE!!!!!!! No matter what.
