EVGA GeForce GTX 970 04G-P4-3975-KR 4GB SSC GAMING w/ACX 2.0+, Whisper Silent Cooling Graphics Card

Pros: Blazing fast. 1080p Ultra destroyer. I would recommend this card to anybody who wants blazing Maxwell at a great price. OC'd to these levels at this price?!? WoW! There's lots of gossip about the memory and how the card is impacted when there is a greater resolution than 1440. However, if you're playing at 1080p and don't see yourself upgrading monitors to something 4K in the forceeable future then this is your card of choice.

Cons: Memory issue needs to get fixed. It is a problem for people who want more than 1080P. No eggs taken off because I don't want more than 1080P.

Overall Review: A backplate would be nice but the card is rigid.

Pros: Battery life is great. Perfect work/library/coffee-shop companion. It's basically an oversized smart phone that you don't want to hold to your face.

Cons: Lid paint can get removed by oil.

Pros: Amazing response. Anti-ghosting. Looks cool as hell. Blue! MX Brown are great for gaming/typing in my opinion. I don't use the backlight often so I've never had an LED problem. Solid feel and weight. Recommend to anyone and everyone who needs a mech keyboard.

Cons: None <3.

Just great!
