Pros: Roomy, lightweight, decent window, breathable

Cons: Windows tint a slight bit too dark.

Overall Review: With the PSU mounted on the bottom, no more sucking in hot air to just blow out more hot air. It is able to access the cooler air underneath the unit and blow it out back. They hae also turned the 3 1/2 drive bay slots 90 degrees, freeing up room for fans and more importantly large video cards with coolers.

Pros: Affordable Packed with features Ability to unlock cores

Cons: Short life span USB 3.0 never worked as 3.0 SATA 6Gb would not work as 6Gb

Overall Review: Bought new in th fall of 2013. By February 2015, the mobo started experiencing odd problems that started with forgetting the memory was supposed to be 1600 and not 1333. I didn't notice until I began having hard drive issues. I had to move the HDD SATA connection to a different port every so often. Then the HDD began having bad sectors (not sure the mobo could cause this on it's own) Once on the third drive in two weeks, it became evident more was wrong. It devolved to having to reset the default BIOS settings at every boot otherwise would get a "boot disk read error" or "No boot device detected" (resetting bios always fixed the problem, but not always on the first try.) I've already ordered a replacement, so if this wasn't a board problem, please don't tell me now! :) Otherwise, it was a good board when things worked right.

Pros: Low price 8GB of memory Works

Cons: Poor performance Crashes Terrible setting control panel

Overall Review: My last Radeon was years ago before switching to a Geforce 5500 (a long time ago.) I've been an Nvidia fan since then up to a 960 which I recently replaced with a 1070 that unfortunately died an early age due to a liquid cooling leak. Not willing to shell out another $400+, I decided to get this as it should have been decently comparable for most of my games. I was dead wrong. I'm not sure where review places are getting their numbers, but most games I have to lower a few settings (which I expected to still maintain 60 fps) but still can barely hit 40ish fps with stutters and dips to 20's (Fallout 4, most other AAA games released in the last couple of years.) I can't even use a 64x texture pack in minecraft now and get above 20 fps. The biggest flaw has to be No Man's Sky. Previously, 60 fps on max settings. Now I can barely get 30 on medium and I can't run it borderless window at all (crashes upon finishing loading. Same issue when alt-tabbing.) I usually have YouTube playing on a second monitor while I am gaming, but in every game now I see at least a 15-20 fps drop, and often a driver crash. I've removed all of the old drivers, adjusted every setting I can find related to performance in the control panel, and done everything short of a fresh Windows install and cannot get this card to perform anywhere near what it claims. Does this card push more duties onto the min system or something? Using a quad-core AMD 6600K OCed to 4.5 Ghz liquid cooled with 16GB G.Skill RAM. The only thing new in my system is the video card, so I can only assume it's the culprit to the sudden serious performance loss across the board. Worse waste of $200 ever. I should have stuck with Nvidia and ponied up a few more dollars.. My 960 performed better. I won't buy another AMD video card.

Pros: Intense purple LED light. Moves a decent amount of air, reasonably quiet.

Cons: Has a low whine

Overall Review: You can hear the whine, but it isn't overly loud. For the money, it is a good fan and the purple is a very nice hue.
