Pros: Great monitor. I had to wait for this one, as it's the only G-sync monitor with HDMI inputs. That's a huge boon for me, as I also game on consoles, and use the same monitor for both. Super smooth all of the time in G-sync, except when dipping below 30FPS, but even then compared to regular monitors it's super smooth. Once you go G-sync you don't go back. I run this with a 780ti to take advantage of the high refresh rate. Colors are good right out of the box, but if you're like me you'll adjust them anyway to make sure you're getting the best picture. Very slick menu layout, easy to use. The controller doesn't seem to work in g-sync mode for some reason, but the touch buttons are so smooth I can't even complain. Very adjustable, if you can't find the right angle with the monitor, you won't be able to with any monitor. Super pretty, very aesthetically pleasing. Cool headset stand on the back I wouldn't want any other monitor on the market.

Cons: None

This card is slept on!

Pros: Extremely well built - SOLID Beautiful card Quiet - Very little coil whine Color scheme looks way better in person Without a doubt the best "msrp"ish card available

Cons: RGB connector location Make a white version!

Overall Review: I originally got a white 5080 but was able to snag this on a drop. I was really on the fence, but this thing is SOLIDLY built, pun intended haha. It's a beautiful card, extremely well built and has little coil whine (main thing I was worried about). Zotac knocked it out of park with this one. JayZ2cents kind if blamed issues on this card it didn't deserve, seems to have been a driver issue. Only downside is the rgb connector - wish it was located on the back or, even better, wasn't required at all.

Pros: Easy setup, clean bios, great white build aesthetic.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I'd recommend to anyone wanting a white board, this is clearly the best one on the market.

Pros: Love everything about the keyboard. Lights, feel, features - all of it.

Cons: The E key sticks randomly. No idea why, but not enough of a reason to go through shipping it back, but annoying enough to bother me.

Solid PSU

Pros: Have had no issues with it. The Cables were all long enough to comfortably reach to all needed areas in my Corsair Carbide 500R Case. Have enough head room to put another 670 in sli - enough for me!

Cons: None thus far.
