Pros: Price- for this board and what you get you can't beat it is one of the better priced board for the budget that i had at the time It offers a ton of tweaks and configs to help make the overclocking easier. PCIE- It has two PCI 16X slots and 1 4X slot they support SLI and Crossfire. So it thats the way you want to go with this board it has plenty of room so you won't be trying to squeeze the cards in there so that they are right on top of each other. Audio- I rarely use onboard audio but they talked about the "Purity Sound" so much when this was first coming out that i wanted to try it to see if it was any good and it's not that bad if it's all you have. Layout- Simple clean everything is easy to get to. BIOS- the bios the few times you actually have to go into it if you aren't just overclocking or adjusting fan speeds. The BIOS is so well laid out it makes configuring it an ease.

Cons: The SATA port on the board stands straight up is really easy to bend with nearly no pressure at all it was bent does the effect my opinion of the board no.

Overall Review: I was nervous when i had first bought this mobo as i had never bought an ASRock mobo before and was a little hesitant to put the money out there. It proved to be a really good buy and one of the better boards i have had. The color scheme of the board fits perfectly with the build i had going . I will certainly look at buying ASRock in the future. They advertise that they have the fatality mouse port this is just a 2.0 port which i found i didn't get any better speeds out of so i went to the plentiful amount of 3.0 ports. Setup was an ease and this board has just provided me great quality content so far.

Pros: Many of the GPU's i was looking at before i decides on this on were either giving you 2 DVI's or 2 DVI's and a micro HDMI. This GPU give two DVI's a VGA and a HDMI . It's low power consumption what more can i say

Cons: This card was an absolute nightmare to get working with Ubuntu, Kbuntu, Zorin, Mint I use Linux for school so i often will have to run VM's and set them up on my desktop but would have to spend somewhere around 4-5 the first time after that it would only be like 20mins setting it.

Overall Review: I'm with the people who say every couple months they get the weird freezing purple squares checkered pattern. The GPU is a solid build and doesn't run to hot. It is another really well built ASUS product i've not tried to overclock this one yet so i cannot say anything about that but it provides stable fps and graphics.
