Great card
Pros: Fast and stays very cool. I OC'd an extra 200 MHz on top of factory OC and still never get temps above 70 degrees. Highly recommended. Plays everything I've thrown at it in 1920x1080.
Cons: Really long, will hit the HDD bays in some cases. Make sure you check your measurements.
Overall Review: My build: i5 3570k OC to 4.2 GHz COOLER MASTER GeminII S524 CPU cooler GIGABYTE Z77X-UD3H mobo 4 GB G.Skills Sniper 1866 GIGABYTE HD 7870 windforce OC'd Inwin Dragon Rider case
Pros: Good range
Cons: Intermittently stops working, can only fix by restarting. Very annoying.
Overall Review: My wife and I bought two different Rosewill network adapters and both have the exact same problem. They will sporadically stop working, shutting off my network connection. The network adapter cannot be disabled than re-enabled when this happens, and windows diagnostics cannot figure out a solution. The only way to fix it is to hard restart the computer (normal shut downs will not work when this happens). I've contacted support and they told me to download the newest drivers. I have them, and I have tried various installations with various permissions and different compatibility modes. Nothing has worked. Support did not offer any help beyond "download the newest drivers". I've tried various methods found on google and Toms Hardware, but nothing has corrected this problem. Sometimes it happens every 20 minutes, sometimes I can go 3-4 days without the issue occurring. For two models to have the same problem on two different computers, and from the google results, it seems that this is not an uncommon issue. I've had good results from Rosewill PSUs in the past, but I will never buy a network adapter from them again, if I even buy anything of this brand again.
First build went well
Pros: Painless installation. Instruction booklet told me all I needed. Nice BIOS. I have no complaints whatsoever.
Cons: None.

I love this case.
Pros: Tons of room, insane ventilation, quiet, looks nice, drive bays are great, pretty good cable management. Keeps my OC'd i5-3570k below 72 degrees in prime 95 and in the low twenties at idle.
Cons: Looks a tiny bit strange with an optical drive installed, just because one of the front panels has to be taken out, leaving an indent. Doesn't bother me though.

Cons: None that I have found.
