Pros: This card is an amazing buy if you just picked up some 5.1 or 7.1 headphones or speaker system. if you don't previously own a sound card i highly recommend this to fully increase your depth of sound on every level and kicks playing games into high gear with surround awareness, or if your into music it dramatically changes the music so that you can hear all beats and previously hidden notes in music bringing out the vast depth of any music. the card's driver itself has a vast virility of customization of EQ levels to fit your style, if your into bass its got it and does an amazing job at projecting the REAL quality of music strait to your headphones / speakers. again, for cost / effectiveness i highly recommend over any other sound card.

Cons: None i can think of. only note i add is make sure you take a look at your Main board to see if you have room for the card overall its a compact card and fits nicely. just a heads up.

Pros: Amazing processor, not only does this cpu preform to the max but is also super cool, normal idle temp with liquid cooling runs at approx 25C under load 50C by throttling the CPU core clock giving power when it needs it, at idle the clock is around ~ .9Ghz and can boost up to 4.4Ghz not a bad chip at all to OC either! gets amazing frames in games like ARMA 3, just what i needed!

Cons: None yet.
