EVGA ACX Cooler 03G-P4-2784-RX GeForce GTX 780 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card Manufactured Recertified Factory Refurbished

Pros: I took the chance buying this refurbished, and won! Simply put, this card is quiet and cool, very powerful.

Cons: none

Overall Review: I saved a good chunk of change and got a solid card, if there was a problem this card comes with just as solid of a warranty, very happy with Newegg and this card, thanks.

Nice but not for x99 micro 2 5820k combo

Pros: Keeps the cpu cool, it does work well its also quiet and easy to install.

Cons: On a EVGA Micro 2 board using a 5820k I have to use the second pci-e slot at x8 because the cooler blocks the first slot. If I had purchased a higher i7 processor that second slot would be at x16.

EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 06G-P4-4995-KR 6GB SC+ GAMING w/ACX 2.0+, Whisper Silent Cooling w/ Free Installed Backplate Graphics Card
EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 06G-P4-4995-KR 6GB SC+ GAMING w/ACX 2.0+, Whisper Silent Cooling w/ Free Installed Backplate Graphics Card

Pros: Coming from 4670k GTX 780 SC to a 5820k and this card I was unsure if the upgrade would be worth it being that my old system was still very capable playing Fallout 4 at 1080p, but my monitor is an Optx aw2310 144hz and wow was it worth it. I personally prefer the ACX cooling and this 2.0+ does not disappoint. If you are wondering if 6GB, 384 bit, 2816 Cuda Cores is worth the extra money, I will say yes mostly because I like running a single GPU and I'm not overclocking anything so this card comes loaded and factory boosted. Great!

Cons: Not a con but... I always wonder why they make the cool side if the card face down. I guess that's why I am a fan of backplates to get a finished look.

Pros: Until you have unpacked an EVGA G2 PSU, you won't believe the care and attention EVGA put into it. It looks great in the case, I have mine fan down in a Phanteks Enthoo Evolv mATX Black, either way you install it the logo is right side up. If there is a problem, it has a 7 year warranty. Pretty nice.

Cons: None

Overall Review: They included a nice holster with Velcro and the EVGA logo to keep the extra cables together if you ever need them. Get a G2 and see for yourself.

Pros: Looks cool, fast, no problems! Running single channel 8GB is plenty, using this with an Azrock Z87 Extreme4. Nice low profile makes it easier to fit EVGA 100-FS-C901-KR 92mm Sleeve mITX ACX CPU Cooler

Cons: none

Overall Review: google running single vs dual channel Ram

Beautiful

ASRock Z87 Extreme4 LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Sturdy design, nice quality feel. Realtek ALC1150 Purity Sound. Bios is easy to use and looks great. So far all systems are GO. BOSE sound system and G35 headset sound really good. I don't know if it's one thing or everything working as one together, I had a lot of time to research products, this build is everything I had hoped for sure. Games run so smooth now, I'm not going to bother with a GTX 780 but rather wait for the next gen GTX 800 series to go on sale so maybe 2 years until a GPU upgrade.

Cons: None so far
