Most Critical Review
TP-Link TL-ANT2408CL 2.4GHz 8dBi Indoor Omni-directional Antenna
TP-Link TL-ANT2408CL 2.4GHz 8dBi Indoor Omni-directional Antenna

Pros: None really.

Cons: The antenna is nearly a foot long and is replacing 2 2dBi antennas on my TP-Link wireless card. These gave me half the signal strength and speed as the 2dBi! I don't know if the wireless card (which is also brand new) is giving them enough power to operate or what but for an 8dBi antenna that is 3x the size, shouldn't it give you better performance?

Overall Review: Talked to customer support TWICE and both times I got no helpful information on fixing it besides extremely basic stuff like "try pointing it at the router". I read other comments on this saying to not get it, but I thought my case would be different since I am only a couple rooms away from the router. It may work better on other devices but for a desktop wireless card, it worked terrible.

Not satisfied with Card or PowerColor

PowerColor Radeon HD 7850 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card AX7850 2GBD5-DHEV2

Pros: Runs games well, Medium graphics settings around 45 FPS. Easy install as usual and runs cool. Good for $100.

Cons: Did not preform as well as I had hoped. After a week of games not preforming as well as I had hoped, I decided to try and refund it to get a better chip set but Powercolor does not allow refunds.

Overall Review: Only get this card if you are sure you want this card set because you can not get a refund. This is my second Gaming computer I have built. My other computer has a more powerful I7 4770k and GTX 670 compared to this A10 5800k and Radeon 7850. I have to say NVIDIA has a much better way of upgrading drivers and changing chip settings. Overall, I find NVIDIA to be much easier to use and better performance overall. (Cards are unmatched but still find nvidia to be the better chipset dealer)
