Pros: All in All the Screen is nice, initial settings look good but I did need to bring brightness down a bit for comfortable viewing. Games are smoother then without G-Synch or using just plain Vsynch at 60Hz with a normal LCD screen. That said I still noticed some occasional pops in some content possibly due to hard drive loading and some slight tearing even at 144Hz with Gsynch on rapid spin test in highly detailed scene noticeable in reflections on glass surfaces in the scene. It does seem almost unnaturally smooth in some of the tests I did including Rocket League. Adjustable Stand is a huge plus and the screen itself is well built with an HDMI and Display port. Tested with GTX 1060 that gets 60+ fps in most titles at ultra settings @ 1080P.

Cons: Curve is slightly distracting to me for normal productivity applications, brightness and white backgrounds are also too bright for comfortable use out of box. Text doesn't look quite as good as it does on my 24" screen used as a second monitor in my setup. This is a multipurpose system so I intend to work, study, and use it for some occasionally gaming with friends and family. Does not automatically change input when switching between computers, you must manually select the input using buttons on front. This was a bummer for me since my 100$ monitor does this just fine and I like use a KVM to switch between boxes, but also have an additional unit setup with the HDMI connection.

Overall Review: At the Sale Price this is a great price for a G-synch enabled Screen, Looks very smooth in game titles, text is however not as crisp as it appears on a smaller 24" screen at 1080P, as a result I think 1440P would be better for a screen of this size however if your intention is budget gaming the screen looks great for that purpose. So in Short if you rig is set for 1080P gaming this screen will rock the rig and give very smooth results. I enabled G-Synch for both Windows and Boarderless modes. I would not pay retail for a screen like this but at half retail for a solidly built 27" it works well.

Pros: Supports a number of Frequencies and has overclock mode. Sturdy and stylish stand if you like red and black which I do and matches my rig perfectly. Full 24" screen which is better then many of the screens that claim to be 24 but are closer to 23.5" across. Really the prefect size for 1080P if you go 27" I would recommend jumping to 1440P. Incredibly smooth with Gsynch enabled at 100Hz. Higher refresh modes had problems see Cons. Reasonable Color quality which may be adjusted and good contrast.

Cons: I like that the monitor can handle a wide frequency range, the bad part is in my tests anything over 100 Hz gives faint horizontal lines across screen. This is particularly noticeable on icons or where you have transitions. I read this could be caused by refresh rates and when testing anything over 100, such as 120 or 144 had the lines present. I didn't try the OC mode beyond 144 given it has issues even at these lower rates. I tried two computers as well (Laptop with Display port Dock running windows 7 64bit and Windows 10 Desktop), both had the exact same issue at 120Hz and up. Also the supplied display port cable was defective and required jiggling the cable to get a connection. Very cheap cable quality. Thankfully I already had a high quality cable which solved that problem. Color quality out of box for me needs tweaking, quite yellow much more then other monitor I use which had a warm profile, I had to go to user mode and adjust contrast, brightness etc to get a good balance between the screens which are both Acer TN models. Also the Power LED is extremely bright making this not great for night gaming. I didn't see an option to adjust this even though Acer has this listed in some of the manuals for similar screens as a feature. The lines also bothered me enough where I considered returning the screen however since its silky smooth at 100Hz its still an upgrade from my other 24" LCD and of course GSYNCH makes it silky smooth like butter which you have to get used to.

Overall Review: I would like to see Acer offer the ability to Dim or turn off the LED on all premium monitors like this GSYNCH screen, the ability to do this is an important feature given this screen is likely to be used in dark settings as much as light. Frequency issue needs to be addressed as well, for the price I expect the screen to work up to the rated speed of 144Hz. All that said at 100Hz it still looks really good but I was hoping with my hardware to hold 140fps in most titles and have a monitor to match that capability. I was going to give this 4 stars but with the defective cable and verified screen frequency issue I'm not getting the 144Hz mode I paid for so I docked one more star. 100Hz is acceptable but the monitor shouldn't cost as much if it cant perform at the rated stock speed without visual defects. Additional info, the lines run horizontal about every 3 pixels and the content render is slightly off color, lighter vs darker which is why its noticeable they run across the entire screen but are more obvious with some content, tested in Tombraider and 120Hz and up they were clearly visible. I have ordered an ultra high end Display port cable in the hopes that might fix it but I believe this to be a monitor defect given that both the included cable, my cable and 2 different machines one running Intel HD graphics and the other running a Nvidia 10 series card had this exact problem running 120Hz and higher. I needed to know it wasn't my card causing the problem. I will update this review if the cable corrects the issue but since the stock cable and another have the problem I dont believe this will correct the issue.

Pros: Wow, I have one other Seasonic supply and this one is great. Unit is heavy made of solid components and looks great, modular is a huge plus in my ITX build. I expect this will be a solid PSU and last, its also Gold certified which means that it is very efficient. Looks great and was perfect for my build.

Cons: N/A

Overall Review: Recommend, build quality and supplies and accessories are great. Even small tie straps are included which is fantastic. I like it when a company goes the extra mile.

Pros: Sub 300$ for 980 performance and VR support. This card is perfect for maxing out 1080 for most titles and is an excellent value. Perfect for someone that wants to game with the best of them in HD but doesn't plan on gaming at 4K. My recommendation is to hold out for the next generation of cards for 4K unless you must have the best now in which case the 1070 or 1080 is your GPU. I'm enjoying a healthy boost in performance with this card on my i5 4690K. It blows away Consoles by maxing out details and is VR ready if you are going to go that way. 120 watts for this horsepower! Wow, best TDP for this performance period. Effectively this can save you 10$ a year if you are a heavy gamer vs AMD's card or the higher end Nvidia cards provided 1080P HD is what you game at.

Cons: No SLI, but hey this is a budget card for the masses. If you want SLI consider the 1070 which offers a massive amount of performance for just about 120 more. That card is best suited to max out 1440P and can handle 4K with settings reduced. You could also SLI or go with a 1080 for outstanding amount of power compared with the high dollar cards from just a year or two ago.

Pros: Very bright display, even against my IPS 22" screen which is now being used as a second screen, with the IPS at 90% brightness I have to set this screen to 60% to have similar white levels. While the native brightness may be good for using it to look at pictures or video its really too bright for desktop use so you may need to crank it down unless you light a very bright screen, you could also just put it in Eco mode which sets a similar brightness level. Viewing angles are not bad as well, of course this screens application is desktop usage and normal angles for a chair with this screen in a multi monitor setup should work great. Price at the time of this review is only about one hundred, that is a bargain for this screen. You could spend more but why, this screen looks great and has a host of adjustments and 3 inputs which is also rare in this price range. Can be mounted to a monitor stand.

Cons: Not IPS, but really who's counting, viewing angles are quite good for desktop usage. No adjustment for vertical up down which can be nice for concealing cables and lining up with other screens without using an aftermarket stand.

Overall Review: Lots of adjustments, nice quality out of box. Mine has zero dead pixels that I can see while I write this review. All in All I am pleased with the value. Color quality looks as good as my HP 22" IPS that I purchased recently. I'm using this as my primary and the HP as the secondary screen for my study PC.

Pros: Picked one up for 249 locally and this processor is a beast. The only con is stock cooling is inadequate if you truly utilize the power of this chip. I might add that most applications have a hard time stressing this chip at all however for CPU intensive apps it will get hot. I am using an Arctic Freezer 7 Pro Revision 2 with Arctic Silver thermal paste. With this tower cooler running an Intel Burn in test which the CPU up can reach upwards of 75C, Stock cooler is 20 degrees hotter which will cause throttling. The Intel burn in test will get the CPU hotter then a prime95 burn in so I like to use that to torture test my chips. I'm still giving 5 stars due to the power and performance of the chip. Turbo up to 4GHz gives you enough performance to tackle the most demanding applications and this chip should remain a contender for years. Boot time to Windows 7 with a Samsung Pro SSD is about 4 seconds to usable desktop. Handles streaming of steam games very well to other lower powered systems in the house. Processor is really overkill, I was looking at the i5 4690K however with the price being only 50$ more I wanted 8 threads to handle everything I can throw at it.

Cons: Stock Cooler should be replaced if you use demanding applications.

Overall Review: All in All this is a great CPU for a reasonable amount, this particular chip offers a good value for the performance offered when you get it on sale. If you want to upgrade an existing socket 1150 system this is a great way to give you tremendous multi threaded horsepower. If you are power hungry and want a little more horse power you can opt for the K version and overclock as needed however this chip truly is a beast and most will find that it offers tremendous performance.
