Great monitor, but has some problems
Pros: -well designed, looks beautiful, especially the 22" with its bezels -good sharpness -good colors -easy to set up with good cable and button placement, power adapter also isn't nearly as big as I thought it would be -arrived the next day with free shipping!
Cons: -blacks could be better -way too bright out of the box, had to adjust a bunch of nvidia settings to get it just how I wanted it -not height adjustable
Overall Review: Since I haven't seen anyone else mention this here: IT DOES NOT HAVE BUILT IN SPEAKERS. It only has headphones out from hdmi audio. I just use a little speaker plugged straight into my pc audio out anyway. But If that's a dealbreaker for you, get a different monitor. Otherwise it's a very nice display.
Genuine, but that's it
Pros: -genuine chip, runs like any other gtx 750 -not that loud
Cons: -chinese packaging and driver disc -shroud looks, feels, and is cheap -better options are available
Overall Review: If you have to have an entry level graphics card asap, then it's not a bad choice. But I would suggest waiting a while and saving up just enough for a 1050 ti, specifically the zotac 4gb. It's usually the cheapest version hovering just around $170, at least on Newegg. You could probably find it even cheaper elsewhere. It will run tracks around this card without even needing a power cable. It looks a lot better, and even takes up less space. Overall, if you have the time, save your money and pass on this.
Great Mouse that Lasts an Eternity
Pros: Wraps around my hand very comfortably. Good textured materials. DPI is solid and easily adjustable right next to the clickers (I keep mine on medium anyway). Speaking of the clickers, they're very satisfying and haven't worn out despite heavy use. The battery life is incredible. I've had it on the original batteries from the box and using the performance mode and it still hasn't come off of full charge in 3 months. I can only imagine how long it lasts on the efficient mode. Also very convenient in terms of portability, there's a little pocket next to the batteries to hold the receiver so you don't lose it.
Cons: None!
Overall Review: A great mouse if you don't want to shell out for gaming prices, but still want something that doesn't feel like counterfeit chinese junk.
Great little card, packs a punch
Pros: -very small, I can't think of anything this wouldn't fit in -clean design, no flashy rgb gunk -runs great, a real deal for 1080p gaming -very easy to set up, plug and play, and no power cable
Cons: - only single slot, come on just add a second slot for it -fan gets noisy, but can be adjusted in firestorm
Overall Review: -The fortnite isn't really free, it's just included in the price. If you want, you can refuse it and your total should be close to $100.
Does its job
Pros: -small -lets me manually control my fans' speed, fun to watch them go from off to full with the LEDs -doesn't get hot -dial is easy to use
Cons: -none
Cheap cooling, hassle to install
Pros: -not that expensive -copper cooling -Blue without lighting is a good look in my build, may not be for everyone though -not that loud and pwm -small enough for most builds, but I would double check your case dimensions just to be safe
Cons: -not as silent as advertised. It does make enough noise under load to be noticeable, but my case fans are always louder than it anyway, so it's not a dealbreaker for me -hard to get on and off, you really have to be careful and be able to see what you're doing. Once it's on, it's not going anywhere though. -fan itself is flimsy, it's very easy to get on and off but you can tell they didn't put as much effort into it, kind of the opposite of the heatsink
Overall Review: Cooling an FX-6300, I will see how it does with an 8350, otherwise I'll bump up to a gammaxx 400. Edit: works fine with 8350, but I'm not overclocking.
