Pros: Runs super cool with water cooling, and fast enough to run everything I've thrown at it. Mostly playing Elite Dangerous. Rungs great with a GTX 660 until I can upgrade. I'm only running a single 32" monitor, so the bandwidth difference between this and an intel board that might support PCI Express 3.0 doesn't make a difference. If I can afford 3 monitors I'd have everything better, but this chip is pretty awesome with what I have now...

Cons: None really.

Overall Review: AM3+ boards don't support PCI Express 3.0, so trying to run a triple monitor setup, or trying to run 4k monitors won't be running at their full potential. But if you're doing that, you're probably not running an economy chip like this one! Best Ghz per buck right here! Running Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous, Farcry, Diablo 3 at Ultra high settings.
