Pros: 4GB was the obvious choice for longevity BF4 runs 60+fps on ultra. Shiniest I've seen it on my setup.

Cons: My PSU is on it's last legs and now every game that puts load crashes my system. Not the cards fault. Will update here when new PSU comes in. Really wish I'd waited a week for the Watchdogs code.

Overall Review: Everytime I tell my dad about upgrades his head spins. 4gb of vid ram got a nice rise out of him.

Pros: -Price -Current Gen -Hyperthreading -Entry-level sweet spot

Cons: -2 Cores!

Overall Review: This is my first time running with a 2-core processor, used in build for brother-in-law. I didn't get an opportunity to test it as much as I would have liked, but I didn't notice anything peculiar after I got it together. Overwatch ran 80-100fps paired with 1050ti, 60fps in teamfights. I opted for this over G3258 since Skylake might have more life in it, idea is to suggest i5-6600 to bro in a year or two. Regret throwing it in a H110 chipset. Go Z170, you will thank your past self.

Pros: -Fast start, good BIOS ui -Red LEDs. oooh! -Boost features -Well built

Cons: -WILL NOT BOOT FROM THUMBDRIVE. -Should have read up on Win7 issues

Overall Review: *I really wanted to like this board more. MSI labelled it as Gaming, and it has the features there if you want to use it but it's still a budget chipset board. I should have researched better, and would have committed to a Z170 for my brother-in-law's build. This board, I'd use again building a rig for my daughter or streaming PC, something less intensive than an upgradable entry-level platform that I was going for. 5 Eggs as it does what is intended and arrived working and I actually like the BIOS ui. -1 egg for embarrassing me @ BigBox asking where they keep DVD-R.

Pros: - Low TDP - Quiet and cool in a mid-tower - Lots of Power

Cons: - Need stickers in packaging

Overall Review: Built new PC for my brother in law. This released just as I was about to buy RX460, and I lean more on nVidia. TBD if this lives up to the 750ti, I liked it for my short time testing and burning it in. Overwatch high settings 80-100fps, dipped to 60 in teamfights. BF1 didn't run great, low settings 25ish fps with some stutter. I think it was an odd driver release, 1050ti GP107 might have contributed? At any rate, mailed tower to him before I could test further. It's akin to previous GTX 760 4GB I had in my rig, similar core clocks and memory.

Pros: Case is definitely worth $60, feels good getting it on sale ($40 for me). Construction is solid, doesn't feel cheap. Good power button, sturdy. Front-side USB cables & power are routed nicely. Lower HDD bays have mounting holes for 2.5" drives Spacious for mid-tower

Cons: PSU fan cover a little loose - I'm reaching there, but all i've noticed so far.

Overall Review: Got this case for brother-in-law's build, and now I kind of want one for my rig. 2 fans and a less-flashy case were my only needs; I'm glad this is where I landed since the price was right. I've bought budget cases before, and saved myself around $15 from this pricepoint... but man, next time I'm going to eat the cost and pick something branded like this. The all-around durability and features that are of good quality (cable mgmt, drive placement, window and space) really make the difference from a shoddy stamped-sheet box with buttons that don't work and feels like I'm going to crush it if I sneeze. This is not that case. Get this case.

Pros: MX Red switches Sturdy construction, minimalist Keys don't feel too matte or polished, just right (baby bear) Compact ULTRA PORTABLE On sale!

Cons: Smaller than I expected?

Overall Review: My buddy got one of these and let me try it out - world of difference coming from a chiclet/membrane board. I prefer linear switches for FPS gaming, it's super fun to use and I'm so glad I got one of my own now. I haven't gotten a chance for any extended sessions with the board, but from what other MMO and slower games out there it's a bit of an adjustment finding a place for my hand to rest when not engaged with the keyboard. That said, if you have any qualms about the size then consider K70 or a full size over this. If you want an awesome board this is too good to pass up (especially on sale).
