Exactly what I thought

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100283L
SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100283L

Pros: A quiet monster with all the power I thought it would have. Got a score of 7.4 in Windows experience index. Have not had a game where it didn't run perfect. I installed drivers from the Sapphire website and they worked perfect. No issues

Cons: Since Im required to write something here it would be the size of this guy, but I DID know this before I bought so not like its really a con...

Overall Review: I basically bought this card for modern warfare:2... not that I needed it but I am just too excited for the game and I just got as giddy as a 12 year old school girl on the first day of school.

First Receiver and Feels Good

Pioneer VSX-933 7.2 Channel 165 Watt Audio Video Bluetooth Network Receiver

Pros: -2 zones -built in chromecast

Overall Review: I've never had a receiver before but the house we bought has surround sound inside as well as outdoor speakers on the deck. This receiver allows me to watch tv/play music inside while playing something else outside at the same time which is pretty cool. That was mainly what I was looking for as I know next to nothing about this kind of stuff and I was able to set it up following the instructions in the manual.

Amazing

Pros: playing Battlefield 3/ Crysis 3/ Bioshock Infinite all on ultra settings with no issues. Super quiet... can be playing for hours and it still stays quiet. Very impressed with this product

Cons: very long... but I knew that when I bought it. Almost hits my HDD case

Overall Review: I need new car tires so I asked my co workers at lunch if I should get a new video card or car tires and they said not to be silly. I agreed and bought this video card instead... totally worth it!

fine with me

Pros: I bought this psu because I took a "power test" on line which recommended that wattage i should be at. I should have been at 750 watts but I only had a 650 watt psu. So i upgraded with the shell shocker and so far so good.

Cons: It's a bit louder than my smaller psu, not an issue for me.... just sayin

Overall Review: So far i have had no problems, there are so many cables it's insane. I don't know how I would use them all

works good

Pros: Does what it is supposed to and have had no problems

Cons: The heat distributors get kind of bulky when there are 4 sticks in. That is the only reason for the 4 stars though.

Pros: I am coming from integrated graphics, so this wow'd me and are satisfied thus far, the "Company Of Heroes" (dx10) game that came with it is great too. Would like to buy another one.

Cons: I had to get a new power supply... 300w wasn't going to be enough. Also I wish I had the funds to get a 2nd one cause I would pick it up right quick
