Must have for 4K gaming
Pros: +12GB VRAM +Overclocks like a champ +Best single GPU out there (don't compare this to dual GPU cards) +Great warranty and service from EVGA +Does not depend on SLI profiles +Easily handles 4K gaming on my Acer 4K G-Sync monitor +Looks sexy in black
Cons: -Doesn't come with a backplate.
Pros: -Comfortable for long gaming sessions
Cons: -Weak drivers. Sound isn't that great (I had a Xonar 7.1 sound card). Compared this to another gaming headset that cost just a little bit more. -I felt that having real 7.1 wasn't that beneficial compared to virtual surround sound. I don't think that it's worse sacrificing sound quality for using 'real' surround sound. -Most applications will not even use 7.1
Overall Review: If you are using these to play Battlefield 4, be sure to switch audio to war tapes.
Great case but I don't know why they use a tempered glass for the backside
Pros: +More than enough from for a Midtower +More than enough airflow +High quality built +I love the ARGB Fans included +I love the hinged doors (very easy to do quick adjustments and just easy in general to open, you don't have to worry about the glass falling down and breaking.
Cons: -I don't like that the backside of the case has a tempered glass window. There's nothing worth seeing, and it adds unnecessary weight (I like to carry my computer from the office to the living room to game on my LG C9 TV).
Overall Review: I would highly recommend this case to anyone that is interested in a midtower case, especially if you don't plan on moving the computer on a daily basis.
Amazing monitor
Pros: + 4K Gaming with G-Sync + Amazing stand. Probably the best that I've ever had + Works great with my Macbook Pro Retina late 2013 (I got this for gaming with my PC and programming work on my PC and MBP) + Windows 8.1 has pretty decent scaling. Not as good as OS X 10 but still good.
Cons: - Needs calibration for both Windows and Mac. Colors look a bit washed out. I calibrated the monitor on each OS (works like a charm). - A bit pricey. A monitor like this probably in a year or two will cost around $400-450.
Overall Review: If you're looking to step into 4K gaming, I highly recommend getting this. Just be sure to calibrate it on your OS (Windows/OS X) so that the colors are not washed out. P.S. make sure that you have at least 4GB of VRAM for 4K gaming. MY 780 Ti SLI is bottlenecked by that 3GB of VRAM. Selling them both and getting a Titan X.
Great cooler, upgraded from Corsair H100 (non i version)
Pros: -I love the new tubing compared to the old H100 that I had. -Great form factor (larger fans are always better). -Looks great in my Corsair 750D -Great value for what you get
Cons: -Instructions are meh. Not horrible but not the most detailed.
Overall Review: I wish that they would make a 360mm aio cooler already. Corsair is hands down the best company when it comes to customer service. I've needed to have things replaced in the past (aio cooling kits, power supply). They offer advance RMA for free (no additional fee), they send you a replacement first with a return label (shipping prepaid, unless they changed their policy since 2012). All they do is authorize a charge on your credit card in case you try to scam them.
Amazing mouse. Got it early from a local store.
Pros: -Great form factor (ergonomic) -Quality material -Up to 12000 dpi (I use 2000 as default and 1200 for shift dpi). -Has a shift dpi button. Basically you hold this button down (great spot for right handed users) and your DPI will be changed to a set DPI that you configure in the Logitech software. This is great for people who like to use two different DPIs while playing a FPS -Comes with weights.
Cons: -Only con is that when you use enough weights, you'll hear a scratching sound when using this mouse. Not sure if that's suppose to happen or if I have a dud.
Overall Review: Great mouse for its price. $80 at launch is pretty good once you compare that to other mouses. This in my opinion is a true successor to my most treasured mouse (Logitech G5).
