WOW!

Pros: Great card. Runs cool. Very fast! Great price!
Cons: None whatsoever.
Overall Review: Bought this card with parts to build a complete new budget gaming rig. Plays Call of Duty: WAW with all settings on high with no lag. Newegg charged $79 for the card with a $10.00 rebate bringing the price down to $69... BUT, Nvidea threw in a $50 game (COD:WAW) brining the actual cost of the card to less than $20 bucks!! I almost feel like I stole this one! Thx Newegg!
Finicky Board- For those who get keyboard error at first post READ:

Pros: Excellent specifications. Price is right. Lights up beautifully when installed.
Cons: Finicky Bios at first post. Only one PS/2 port. No front panel firewire connectors. For those who have posted about dead boards because it wouldn't see your keyboard and CMOS settings wrong READ ON: This board gave me fits at first. It seems very particular about keyboards on first few runs. First Run: Three short beeps and "Keyboard not found, Mouse not found, CMOS settings wrong" error message was all I could get. My PS/2 keyboard was useless, couldn't hit F1 to continue or DEL to enter setup.... NOTHING. So I powered off and disconnected the PS/2 keyboard and plugged in my wireless USB keyboard and....
Overall Review: Second Run: Same problem. Same error message. No response from board. Powered off and on a few times and nothing. So thinking I had received a dead board I contacted Newegg and was issued an RMA (you rock Newegg). Went out and had some drinks and slept on it. Next morning I decided to try again only this time I left the USB wireless keyboard connect AND plugged in the PS/2 keyboard (don't ask me why I was just being lazy I think) and... Third Run: Two short beeps and error message "Mouse not found, CMOS settings wrong". Hit f2 on PS/2 keyboard and nothing. Hit DEL, nothing. Out of the blue tried hitting DEL on USB keyboard and I was in BIOS!!! Don't ask me why it worked this time, maybe it was the prayers, LOL, but this board is VERY picky about keyboards at first. Because of this only 3 eggs and probably will steer clear of Foxconn in the future. Now the system has an OS and all is well thankfully. No need to RMA.
Seven years and still going strong!

Pros: Reliable, powerful, nice blue light
Cons: No longer in production
Overall Review: This review probably doesn't mean much now that this psu is out of production but mine is still going strong since 2014 it is now 2021. I'm about to use it in it's third build and have never had an issue with it.
Excellent cables!

Pros: Well made, slim, fast!
Cons: None.
Overall Review: What can I say they are CAT6A cables and they work as expected. The price is unbeatable. I have a 200MB connection and was only getting 95ish with the CAT5 cable when I ran speed tests. Switched it out with one of these 5ft CAT6A cables and instantly was able to get 260+ on my 200MB connection so I'd say they work perfectly.
EVGA has proven again why they are the best! (Read my edit at bottom)

Pros: Super fast! Great FPS on ANY game running on Ultra Best bang for your buck imo
Cons: This thing has a tendency to get REALLY hot! At the time I purchased this card the overview description was boasting 30% cooler and silent performance. Maybe if you are just browsing the internet, but when a game launches things get hot quick!
Overall Review: As I mentioned, it tends to run way too hot with the stock driver fan settings, and will reach a point of shut down. For that I deducted 1 egg. However, I was able to overcome that issue using MSI Afterburner to set up a more aggressive fan profile so that when it heats up, the fan kicks up. The hotter it gets, the faster my fan goes now. Now I can run any game on ultra and get 80-120 fps no problem and rarely going above 60 degrees Celsius. It's definitely not silent as the fan can get noisy but that's no problem for me using a head set. I would definitely recommend this card to anyone, with the heads up about the heat and stock fan settings. I'm very happy with it now that it is staying within normal operating temps. Edit 12/27/2018: It's been over three years now since I purchased this card. I still use and abuse it on a daily basis. Playing Far Cry 5 with max settings and getting 50+ FPS. Insurgency Sandstorm, medium settings getting 80+ fps. This card is still standing the test of time. My warranty expired three weeks ago and this thing just keeps going and going! I am still running the MSI Afterburner fan curve and the hottest it gets is about 52c under load while gaming. It is time to build a new machine now to keep up with the current games and programs but this card will be recommissioned into another mid-level workstation build I am doing for my fiance. As for my gaming needs, it has become time to move on to a 1080 Ti or a 2080 but this old 970 lives on in a new home. All in all I would say it has been the best video card I've ever purchased. I will be staying with EVGA gpus from now on.
Quite Impressed!

Pros: Price Free Shipping Looks Very Nice Superb Airflow (with added front intake fan) Excellent tool-less design Roomy Lightweight, yet sturdy Dust filter Easy to remove front cover (for cleaning filter) All around excellent and well thought out design
Cons: Why does it even come with an I/O shield anyway? This is really more of a gripe than a con, though considering motherboards always come with one. There's a spot in the front panel for a 1394 port, but no port or connection to the motherboard is provided.
Overall Review: Bought this case to build a media center PC for a customer. It was sort of a toss-up between the tried and true Antec 300 and this one, but this one was a bit cheaper with free shipping so I went with it to save a few $$$. I'm very impressed! It is a very nice looking and well built case. I installed an additional 120mm blue LED intake fan in the front and with decent cable management the airflow is outstanding... something rare in a case for this price. The tool-less setup was actually pretty tight and not a cheaply put-together-piece-of-junk as some others I've seen before. I actually like it so much I would get it for myself, and have already ordered another one to build a soundbooth PC for my church.
