Pros: Vibrant screen - HD; best laptop sound I've ever heard; 7200 RPM HDD; pleasant design; fast

Cons: Windows 8 of course.

Overall Review: I bought this laptop for my wife who owns a print and binding business. She needs the ability to do a ton of document/image editing and the usual Dell laptops lack a discrete video card and a 7200 rpm HDD. This laptop resolved all of those issues. In addition to the core requirements, the screen is very vibrant and the sound is actually really good. She can now watch AND listen to her shows when she is working late at night. The jury is out on the Killer NIC but at least it isn't a negative - might be a positive once I can take advantage of the AC. I just bought a Netgear Nighthawk, so maybe this NIC will be a great fit.

Pros: Keeps cool; blazing fast; not loud even at max fan speeds

Cons: With the new revision, the voltage is locked so you can't overvolt this card without mucking with the hardware. Capability to overclock with this in mind is very low. Not even a small bump will work with Rift or any of the games that came with the card. Interestingly, benchmarks have no such issue.

Overall Review: I play a ton of games and most of them have issues with this card even at stock speeds. I have to attribute that to awful drivers since the latest driver fixed a few things. Yet, my last 560ti worked flawlessly for 18 months. Yes, this card is fast but its reliability is what makes it 3 stars.

Pros: - Large and spacious case, plenty of room - Well constructed, not flimsy - Nice area to bundle wiring - The 2 large fans on the bottom really move air - Looks great

Cons: - Only one issue and it resulted in a lost egg. The top lid doesn't snap back in place near the I/O area. Tried various options but it won't seal completely and it does require sticking your finger into a hole to turn on the PC. I would say a magnetic connection would have worked best here than flimsy clips.

Overall Review: - I would recommend but be careful of removing any of the panels. Each panel has the same snap-on mounts so I could see where it could impact the side panels at some point. Are they replaceable?

Pros: - Cheap

Cons: - Read below

Overall Review: - I haven't plugged it in yet because I'm looking at where everything will go and I think this PSU isn't compatible with X570 motherboards. There is the usual 24 pin main power connector and a single 2 x 4pin CPU power connector, but the mobo has 2 x 8pin connectors so unless I can use a PCIE 8 pin connector, I don't see how this PSU will work. I think manufacturers need to qualify their PSUs and label them for NOT APPROVED for certain mobos so one doesn't waste time and money.

Pros: - modular, keeps things pretty clean - quiet - when it died, at least it didn't take anything else with it

Cons: - didn't last long

Overall Review: I didn't have this PSU for very long, maybe 6 months to a year. It died suddenly, so I went to a local brick and mortar store and purchased a Corsair HX850i and have never looked back. That was 4 years ago. I'm very picky about quality components so I was too happy to see Evga go bad on me, especially with a Gold rated PSU. Now, this was one model but my older son's pc died on him recently and he had to buy a new system. As I was researching a new build and came across invoices for the other builds, I noticed my son's PSU was the 750 model.

Pros: - Cheap price - Fast enough as a gaming drive

Cons: - When these die, they die suddenly.

Overall Review: I bought these 3 years ago and they are the first SSDs to die on me. They died suddenly and without warning and it wasn't just a fluke because I had 2 of these in my rig with 4 other SSDs and both died at the same time. ADATA's SSD software never warned of any imminent issues. I have 2 other Samsung SSDs and both are 18 months older and so far no issues. Guess with SSDs you need to know that they may die faster than the old platter drives and without warning so back up everything.
