Amazing Card

GIGABYTE Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card GV-R787OC-2GD
GIGABYTE Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card GV-R787OC-2GD

Pros: Easy installation. The packaging housed the GPU, a cross-fire SLI cable and a HDMI-Mini Display adapter. Install took maybe 30 seconds. Three fans, I can't hear a thing. Playing BF4 on Ultra with no sign of lag or anything. I am very satisfied. Playing every game I throw at it at max with no hiccups.

Cons: It is huge. It's a bit bigger than a GTX 560 TI 448 Core.

Overall Review: Current PC specs Microsoft Windows 7 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz 16 gigs memory (CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Gigabyte Radeon HD 7870 GHZ

Pros: 3TB! Space! Lots of space! I've ordered HDD's before and never had an issue. This gets one egg due to being dead.

Cons: Was dead on arrival. Hooked it up last night, enabled it, went to use it, noticed the download would stop around 78% then this scratching and clicking would start. The download stopped and then I knew something was wrong with the HDD. Currently in RMA status.

Overall Review: First time ever having to do an RMA to Newegg. Things happen. I've spent countless dollars ordering from N.E. and never have I had any problems. So I'm not mad. The process was absolutely simple and the customer support was amazing.

Pros: Beautiful monitor. Easy setup. Nice packaging. Nice and snuggly.

Cons: The install disk was bent. Disk was unprotected besides being in a bag with the instructions just "floating" around. Due to the stand and the backbone, I've had to use something to tilt the entire monitor up, since it seems angled very low.

Overall Review: Opened the box, it was beautiful. Unpacked, put together, easy as 123. 2 HDMI ports, one HDMI cord included. Neat little adapter. Noticed the CD was just floating in the bag along with the instructions. Held up the CD and noticed it was in an ~ pattern after my disk drive was going bonkers. No big deal. Got the drivers off LG without a problem. Love the resolution. My games look amazing on my 6GB 1060. So, regarding the mounting. Comes with the base, a little neck to connect all three. The monitor is angled downward just a bit. Enough to be annoying but the wife, being her awesome self, said "Hey! Put a small clump of post-it notes under it. Angled up just right. This monitor is amazing. Easily deserves 5 eggs, but had to drop one egg for the few little things that bugged me.

Awesome Sauce

Pros: - Quiet *People say it's loud. Uh?* - Easy install *It's awkward? How?* -Nice cool temps and I love gaming- -BUY. THIS.-

Cons: There isn't any. No problems whatsoever.

Overall Review: While installing this I had zero issues. People say it's a bit awkward, a bit weird and truth be told I had no issues installing it. I have to admit this was my first ever and I went all out. Even bought another fan for the push/pull config. I must say it purrs like a kitten. Most definitely a buy!
