Pros: Gotten several of these processors. All them perform very well running stock speeds. I have been able to run every video game I want without any issues.

Cons: none

Pros: Inexpensive monitor compared to competitors

Cons: The picture was darker than I had hoped. I end up having to crank of the brightness for most things. Also speakers are so-so.

Pros: Card allows me to play virtually any game I want on high detail and still get >30 fps. I have played Guild Wars 2 and Borderland 2 to death on this card and have been very satisfied.

Cons: It seems to have two glitches that reoccur no matter what I do. 1) On a reboot graphics will come up with images oddly colored (littled off color edgies). A reboot or two usually solves problem. 2) Sometimes when the screen goes to sleep the card seems to forget that it is supplying video and video slips back to onboard video only. (I am using the lucid virtu mvp) For further note: I am using all Gigabyte parts (motherboard and video card). GA-Z77X-D3H motherboard. All drivers/bios/etc... are up to date. This problem does not happen with same motherboard and Gigabyte Radeon cards. Both problems are specific to this card.

Overall Review: Love this card and would give it a 5 out of 5 if it didn't have persistent and nagging glitches listed.

Pros: Quiet and efficient. The modular cable design is a nice to have.

Cons: While the modularity of the cables is nice. The cables are not quite long enough for most of my file server cases. It seems like I can't end up using a lot of the plugs because the don't read my drives.

Overall Review: Over all the power supply is great, just wish the cables were a little longer.

Pros: Robust motherboard. No problems after more than a year of hard use on multiple systems.

Cons: Windows users: Be careful to keep bios up to date before accepting patches from Microsoft. Had three computers and 2 of the 3 never booted after accepting service pack from Microsoft. Problem was later tied to having a bios that was slightly out of date. A lot of time was lost. So make sure you keep your bios up to date when those automatic patches land on your system.

Pros: I was a little skeptical about how quiet this cooler is, but it exceeded expectations. With my system open and running full blast the cooler was very difficult to hear. I almost had to risk hitting my ear against the fan in order to hear anything. Cooling performance was more than sufficient for running at stock speeds.

Cons: I have found no cons after more than a year of use.
