Most Favorable Review

Works and looks great. There's just one problem that you may or may not be able to overlook

EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER XC ULTRA GAMING, 08G-P4-3173-KR, 8GB GDDR6, Dual HDB Fans, RGB LED, Metal Backplate

Pros: -Works great -Runs cool -Looks good -EVGA customer support is top notch -RGB is a nice touch -USB-C port

Cons: -Coil whine when under load -No screws provided in the box (though I think this is standard for most graphics cards)

Overall Review: Great card overall, works and looks great. You can control the RGB using software you can download from EVGA's website. The only problem I've found with the card is that there is some coil whine when it's placed under load, but I'm able to ignore it, especially if I'm using headphones. Also, keep in mind that the card is REALLY thick (like 3 PCIe slots). Overall, would recommend unless you're really sensitive to coil whine. If you don't know what coil whine is, do yourself a favor, look up Linus' video about it on youtube and decide for yourself if you can deal with it before you buy this card.

Great case for the money with a few minor nitpicks

Pros: -Looks awesome -Tempered glass door is really convenient -Cable management is pretty decent -Pretty sturdy

Cons: -Only one USB 3.0 Port on the top, rest are USB 2.0 -The PSU shroud should have some holes in it, for better GPU ventilation -Airflow could be better -Should include more hard drive screws as well as screws to attach PCIe devices (Graphics cards, wifi cards, etc)

Overall Review: I know I listed more cons than pros, but honestly, I'm really being nitpicky and a lot of them might be due to my own stupidity (this was my first build). I really like this case and I definitely recommend it. If you'd prefer a mesh front for better airflow, check out the DLM 21 (also by Darkflash).

Works as expected
