Pros: This has to be one of the best gaming purchases I have ever made. People who own VR say it all the time "You just have to try it" and it really is true. The feeling of being inside a game or movie and interacting with a virtual world is not something that can easily be put into words. Sure you can say "It's immersive" or "it feels like you're in the game" but until you try it those phrases have no real meaning. Immersive to someone who has only played games on a screen means a completely different thing than what someone who has played VR would consider immersive. The best way I can explain is It's like you only ever having a burger from Burger King, then you get a chance to try a Steak and Shake. Sure it seems like such a massive improvement and your idea of what a burger is has totally changed when you eat something better than Burger King. But that person still does not know what a burger from a specialty local burger joint is like. Sure it's still a burger and people will say " Why would I spend 12 bucks on a burger then wait 20 minutes for it to be cook when I can get one for a buck at Burger King instantly or spend 3 bucks and get a high quality burger from steak and shake?", but remember that person's entire idea of what a burger is starts and ends with fast food, while those who know better know where it's quality stands. VR is like that burger. Ive shown my VR headset to both gamers and non gamers and everybody has been blown away. Nobody has taken the headset off and simply said "Yeah, that was OK". Everybody has expressed how incredible the experience was and several people have commented on how the whole "you cant describe it" thing is 100% true. If you're on the fence and considering a VR headset then find a place that demos it or a gaming shop that lets you pay for an hour or so with it. It is absolutely incredible.

Cons: The device is not without flaws. -Personally I find the heat from the lens defogger/screens and the lack of airflow when the headset is on to be a bit much for extended periods. Nobody else I have shown this to has had this problem but if you are prone to sweating be ready for a toasty face rather quickly. -The lenses cause visual artifacts called "G*d Rays" in dark high contrast scenes. This appears to be better or worse for different face shapes and eye types. Some people say it's not noticeable at all while others like myself find them quite distracting at times. Another reason to try a headset before you take the plunge, be sure to ask for a high contrast scene to check if it affects you. -The headset itself while extremely nice looking collects dust and scuffs very easily because of its clothlike surface. A pro being it is quite easy to clean. -Setup can be a bit of a headache especially if you do not have permanent spots to put the sensor cameras. This is a device best setup in one spot then only moved when absolutely necessary because calibration can very easily take upwards of 20 minutes. -Not a fault of the device but AAA developers and big name publishers are using the VR market to dump cheap hackjob ports of their games for full retail price. Games like Fallout 4 VR are simple control scheme modifications but cost more than the standard version of the game and comes with less content (No DLC added for the same price as the GOTY edition). Tiny community based teams have done this not only better but for free for existing games like the DOOM 3 BFG VR mod which is an objectively better experience than the 30 dollar DOOM VFR made by the actual id DOOM team. It's worth noting smaller VR focused studios like Gunfire Games are making fantastic full fledged VR games that are not only better than the ports of existing games but they are significantly cheaper as well. Long story short, avoid big name games with "VR" attached to the end of the title and you'll be fine, look for games that were built with VR in mind or use community made mods to get VR on older games.

Overall Review: With all of those cons I still feel this device and mainstream VR technology as a whole (Including the HTC VIVE, Microsoft Mixed Reality headsets, and even PSVR) is just beginning to pick up steam and deserves a strong 5 star rating. The PSVR is a low tier VR headset that allows people without powerful computers to use the PS4 in their living rooms for entry level VR experiences, MIcrosoft MR removes the barrier of requiring high powered gaming computers and the patience for complicated setups, and Oculus with their $400 dollar price tag have aimed for the consumer who already has a gaming computer and who wanted to get into VR but found the 700+ dollar price tag was entirely too much to justify the purchase. Millions of units have been purchased in the 2017 holiday season alone, this tech is getting into more and more hands and is finally beginning to spread. VR as a whole has been and will continue to pick up as more and more companies begin making games and programs for VR. Right now big name movies are being shown by the studios who own them in special VR screenings in virtual theaters full of real people, concerts by real bands are being held in VR, social apps continue to grow and allow users to connect with millions of people and interact with them in ways not even dream possible just 5 short years ago, huge multi billion dollar companies are investing in VR for things such as architectural projects where they allow clients to see what they are buying as well as make real time changes before a single nail is hammered. Things are only getting started and this 400 dollar device lets you get your foot in the door for the next big thing in computers.

Pros: Was readily available at a big box store that price matched @m@z()n [that's apparently an " inappropriate word" guess competition is inappropriate lol] (got it for around 75). Fairly quiet. Good size.

Cons: This drive is painfully slow at times. Most of the time the drive's speed is acceptable (never fast 110/104 r/w Crystal disc rating) but from time to time when you try to open a file or folder, you will literally hear the drive spin for a few moments before anything happens. Not to say its access speed is worth noting while its already spinning. I replaced a WD Black that failed with this drive since I couldnt wait for the RMA to use my PC, and as a result EVERYTHING takes around twice as long to open/read/write. Decompression is a nightmare with this drive.

Overall Review: This drive would be great as a external in an enclosure but as a main drive you will run into speed issues (or maybe im just used to faster drives, to which this drive is not). Either way I cannot recommend this drive and as soon as the RMA comes back from WD (best company to RMA with btw) I will be putting my OS on the WD Black, and this drive will be used for media and other files where access speed does not matter. Its virtually impossible to navigate the Seagate website to find and apply firmware updates. You can tell the site was designed and worded by somebody who is not a native English speaker. The instructions are confusing, convoluted. As someone who has been building and maintaining PCs as long as I can remember, I was unable to make sense of their updates and just gave up after an hour or so of trying to find my firmware updates.

Pros: Nice and fast Does well in benchmarks considering this was the cheapest DDR4 3000 16gig set I could find across all of newegg and a competitor that shares a name with a specific rain forest that appears to be censored here

Cons: I cant imagine it's "heatsink" really does anything, seems more like a aesthetic thing which is odd because they look hideous Loud red color scheme

Overall Review: What can I say? Its budget DDR4 3000 that has no right to be as fast as it is. On UserBenchmark's test my two sticks scored on par with the G.SKIL Ripjaw V 3200 4x16Gb in the 96th percentile giving it a total ranking of between 9-12. The brand is so obscure the site doesnt even recognize them and lists it as unknown. Im assuming the company buys wholesale NAND chips that were poorly binned from the big companies because the scores were all over the place on the benchmarking site. Seems like you're rolling the dice more so than usual with this brand.

Pros: Lots of Fan/Pump headers and the fan software makes it easy to map out your case and make custom fan curves` Nice looking RGB lighting and two RBG headers that can be syned with the motherboard lights Solid VRM design Neutral color scheme lets you put it in any build Reinforced PCI-E slots (my 1080 still sags tho) 3x M.2 slots Crossfire/SLI support Smart layout for fan headers Comes with two temp probes that can also be used to dictate fan speeds Shielded I/O panel, No idea if it even does anything but it's nice to see something new 2 USB 3.1 gen 2 ports Type C gen 1 header Thunderbolt header 2 USB 2.0 ports with the option to turn off all voltage for DACs or overvolt the ports for... some reason im not quite sure about. The manual says the ports work great for VR but im not sticking a 400 dollar headset or 60 dollar sensors in a overvolted port to try it Good quality wireless AC adapter with magnetic antenna and Bluetooth 4.2 built right in

Cons: The LED lit part on the top right is poorly place since you will have several core system cables reaching across it No option to turn off error code display which is blindly bright and red The CPU's 8 pin connector placement makes it extremely difficult to route the cable in a mid tower case Lacking key power percentage settings needed for higher overclocks Loadline Calibration comes with only three settings RBG software is seriously lacking in terms of customization Pretty much the entire App Launcher and all its apps are garbage, the only useful one is the easier to use UI for fan profiles Annoyingly confusing M.2 PCI lane nonsense where some slots share PCI lanes with specific SATA ports or PCI-E 4x slots, I get it's a limitation of the chipset's PCI lanes but it's still annoying you need a small spreadsheet to figure out where you can plug your storage devices in The Wireless is only 1X1 so it has a max bandwidth rate of 433Mbps as opposed to 2x2's 867Mbps

Overall Review: Got my 8600k to 5.0Ghz quickly and easily Some of the RGB colors look washed out even at highest contrast levels Very clearly designed for tempered glass cases because most of the lights boarder around where a standard Acrylic ATX mid tower has it's window. BIOS has a "CPU upgrade" setting that lets you pick a target speed and has the motherboard try to overclock the system to that clock speed automatically, I never once had it actually make it into windows past around 4.5Ghz even thought I quickly got 5.0 with a manual overclock. Overall im quite satisfied with this motherboard. Its a solid overclocked, has a great suit of ports and slots to expand your system over time with NvME drives, extra GPUs, or fans/water cooling. Not a bad option if you're looking to upgrade to intel's new 8th gen CPUs, I just hope they stick with the socket for more than a single generation.

Pros: Very fast Overclocks well GPU boost pushes this card stock to nearly 2000Mhz Quiet even at full blast Color neutral Black PCB and no distracting RGB lighting Stays cool despite the underpowered cooling shroud (65C max at full load with 2050Mhz OC) Strangely enough it does not belt out heat at full load like my 970 used to.

Cons: Extremely low power limit (104%) Only one HDMI port (standard for 1080s but still a con especially for those with VR headsets)

Overall Review: This is the MSI Gaming G1 PCB with a GTX 1070 Cooling Shroud. If you intend to go with watercooling it's basically a cheaper Gaming G1 card and the best value to be found in the 1080 series. The 1070 cooler works well enough for the 1080 but DO NOT get the 1080 Ti armor, it throttles like crazy and is possibly the slowest 1080 Ti on the market. This card is HUGE. It dwarfs my old 970. Has a significant amount of GPU sag so be ready to address that or deal with the additional stress on the PCI-E slot.

Pros: -Modular

Cons: This has to be the single loudest PSU on the market. It is louder than my video card at 100%, and the only thing that comes close to its volume is my scythe kaze fan once it hits around 70%.

Overall Review: I thought maybe I had a defective unit but upon further research I found out this is normal for the HALE82 line. This will be the last NZXT component I buy because this is advertised as silent and im not a fan of false advertising. There are hundreds of PSUs out there, there is absolutely no reason to go with this one, a true one star product through and through.

Never received my items, seller's phone number listed on newegg is a disconnected number and they will not reply to me through email to tell me why what I bought was never delivered. Thanks to newegg's policies I have to wait another full day before they will look into the problem and refund me my money. Business as usual from a website that adds hidden charges into every purchase and profits off gamers getting scammed. I knew this would be a problem the moment I saw G2A on the item page.

DO NOT buy from this seller. Ordered on Monday, was finally charged on wed and by Friday my product wasn't even shipped. Contacted seller and got no response so i finally called newegg and had them refund the order. BEWARE this seller behaves more like a scam artist than a legit seller, DO NOT give them your money
