Pros: Easy to install. Looks good/has a well made feel to it. Runs quiet at idle! Quieter than expected with dual fans. Performs beautifully. Comes with Asus SmartDoctor, a nice tool.
Cons: Latest NVidia drivers cause stuttering issues in-game, even older programs (for example GTA San Andreas). Not much else. Does everything I want it to, performs as I expected it to.
Overall Review: Make sure you've got the right power supply. Calls for 450w PSU minimum, as well as 2 (two) 12v rails - its max draw is 150w. Good ventilation I had to revert drivers back to 275.33 in order to solve performance issues across the board. Took me several days to figure it out - I tried everything but this. I will REPEAT: If you are having weird performance issues, try going back to 275.33. Wish I had known earlier! My system: Intel i5-650 6gb ram RX-530ss PSU (works well) 1tb Seagate 7200 rpm
