Great 1440p Card

MSI Mech Radeon RX 6750 XT 12GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 Video Card RX 6750 XT MECH 2X 12G OC
MSI Mech Radeon RX 6750 XT 12GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 Video Card RX 6750 XT MECH 2X 12G OC

Pros: Able to play all the games I threw at it at 1440p ultra at 60+ FPS Nice looking plastic backplate Runs my eSports titles at 144+ fps

Cons: Plastic backplate. All the old MSI cards I have bought have metal backplates but this one felt noticeably cheaper because it was plastic. Also not sure if plastic effects temps. It looks good though. 2 fans makes the card run a little hot

Overall Review: I got a super good deal on this card. Found it for less than a 6700xt. I was a little bummed to see that the backplate was plastic which made me knock off a stat. However the design on the backplate is nice. However I might try painting it to match my white build and the plastic might come in handy then. Not sure if plastic effects temps but this card does run a little hot. I think that's because of the 2 fan setup and not the backplate.

Most Critical Review

A small lemon from a great PSU company

CORSAIR RM850 CP-9020232-NA 850 W ATX 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Power Supply
CORSAIR RM850 CP-9020232-NA 850 W ATX 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Power Supply

Pros: Pros: Reliable 850w Fully Modular Plenty of Connections Matching White Cables Stylish

Cons: Cons: One of my PCIE power cables didn't work.

Overall Review: I've used Corsair PSUs in the past and when I needed a white power supply with white cables for my new build I went with this one. Had a heck of a time troubleshooting but turns out one of the PCIE cables that came with the supply did not work. I was able to run my card with another with the same cable (I know that's not ideal) but I would have been out of luck if it didn't come with a second cable. Dropped 2 stars for that. I most likely got a lemon based on the other reviews but I was definitely surprised.

Great Looking Budget Bluetooth Headphones

Mee audio Air-Fi Venture Bluetooth Over-Ear Headphone (Second Generation)
Mee audio Air-Fi Venture Bluetooth Over-Ear Headphone (Second Generation)

Pros: -Long battery life. In my first test the headphones lasted 20 hours on medium volume. -Look great. Design on the sides have people asking me what headphones I'm wearing. -Got them on sale for 30 dollars. -Fold up to fit inside bags / backpacks -Detachable cable to use the headphones when the battery is dead or when device doesn't have bluetooth. This is the main reason I bought them. I throw them into my bag and they will work with anything I need them for. This with the battery life makes them great for people that leave for the weekend or travel for work. throw them in your back and you don't have to worry for 2 days or so of heavy listening!

Cons: - Sound. The headphones don't have great treble sound. The sounds in the higher mid range get washed out. Rock / metal sounds great. Electronic / dubstep sounds pretty good as well. Classical and jazz sounded the worst out of what I listen too. However sound is all about opinion. -The headphones have a somewhat strong construction but have no flex to them. I like to have some flex in my headphones if I;m going to store them in a bag. I'm afraid if they get crushed by something the sides may break.

Overall Review: -I thought these headphones were going to be a little larger. I am used to my over ear headphones to have cups that can fit over earrings. I wear gauges and some over ear headphones press on them which can make them uncomfortable. However these are light enough where I can wear them for hours before having to take them off. -The only other semi complaint I have is the material that the earcups is made of squeaks when it rubs the arms of my glasses. They are very comfortable but this can be annoying when you run or move around. Just something people for people with glasses to take note of

Great Budget Laptop

ASUS Laptop EeeBook Intel Atom Z3735F 2GB Memory 32 GB SSD Intel HD Graphics 11.6" Windows 8.1 32-Bit X205TA-DS01-GD-OFCE

Pros: Battery Life, Screen, Size, Trackpad,

Cons: Storage, Keyboard,

Overall Review: Great laptop for school! Can run most low performance programs like office, chrome, video and music players and many others. I have been using this laptop for school because of the portability and battery life. The gold color is not overwhelming which I love. It looks almost like a silver laptop. I've been throwing all sorts of programs at it and it handles all of the ones ive thrown at it. I highly doubt it will be able to handle large programs like after effects, audition, vegas etc. However for the price, this computer does everything I would expect and more. The reason I included the storage in cons is because there is only 18GB after the windows installation. I purchased a 64GB Micro SD card for mine and it works great. I included the keyboard in the cons section because it is a bit smaller than a normal keyboard. This makes typing on it a bit difficult with large hands. Only other con I didnt include was the performance. I know its not a powerhouse but it occasoinally lags on media heavy sites (facebook, google images etc) Other than those cons I am in love with this laptop. 5 stars all the way.

Pros: Stable memory and from G-skill! I like the blue because it looks good with the side panel and my Gigabyte motherboard.

Cons: If i had gotten red i could have saved some money.

Overall Review: Thank you G-Skill and Newegg for the great memory

Bad PSU Good Case

LOGISYS Computer Area 51 CS51WBK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 480W Power Supply
LOGISYS Computer Area 51 CS51WBK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 480W Power Supply

Pros: I like the eyes in the front and i like the "glass panel". The fan on the side is very bright but a little on the loud side, i dont really care about that though. Plenty of room.

Cons: No tool-less assembly, Bad PSU (i was expecting this) no installation or instruction manual, and the "glass panel" is a cheap plexiglass panel attached on to the metal side with screws.

Overall Review: Glass panel has been fine even with moves to other houses and around my house. Just be gentle.
