Most Favorable Review

excellent laptop i love it!

ASUS - 15.6" FHD - Intel Core i7-7700HQ - GeForce GTX 1060 - 16GB Memory DDR4 2400 - 128 GB M.2 SATA SSD - Windows 10 Home 64-Bit  (90NB0GI2-M00390 )

Pros: very fast. temps run a bit high but i cant imagine that its not within the capabilities of the laptop.

Cons: After upgrading to windows 10 pro 64, i re installed all the drivers and no matter what i do, i cannot get the keyboard lights to change again.. After some research apparently the only fix is to RMA the laptop and have it re imaged. This is quite unfortunate because I dont have the patience or time to do so. I will keep researching but I dont know what else to do. aside from this, newegg is excellent and the laptop arrived in perfect condition.

Overall Review: Anyone who can help me with the keyboard lighting issue it would be so much appreciated. Thanks again

Rosewill 5.1-Channel Vibrating Gaming Headset- USB Connector - RHTS-8206

Pros: The sound quality is pretty good, and the bass feature is nice..

Cons: My head hurts after about 1-2 hours of use. Its so bad that it's almost migraine inducing. I have adjusted the headphones every which way I can, the only thing that seems to work is if I prop small objects inbetween my head and the headphones. I figured the low price was too good to be true

Pros: Good card, I can customize the fan speed using EVGA precision.

Cons: Had to turn the detail down when playing dota 2, borderlands 2, and even counterstrike Global offensive. It is definitely an average users card

Great Case

DIYPC FM08-W  Black USB 3.0 ATX and Micro-ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with 1 x 120mm and 1x 80mm White Fan

Pros: Very good case, good ventilation. Honestly I spilled a little soda on top of the case the other day, and I'm very thankful there wasn't a fan on the top. I've spilled green tee in a top case fan before, perhaps I should be more careful. The giant CPU Hyper Evo 212 I purchased fits in perfectly (a bit of a tight squeeze)

Cons: The power LED is very bright

Good car, doesnt work anymore

EVGA GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 Graphics Card 01G-P4-3650-KR

Pros: The card performed very well for the time I had it.

Cons: The fan on the card no longer works and I'm not sure why. I did not purchase a warranty so I am most likely stuck with this defective card. I tried using it with two different motherboards and get nothing. The local computer stores want to charge me over 60$ to fix the fan, which is outrageous. Other than that the card is good
