Most Favorable Review

This is so awesome ASUS is a winner

ASUS Laptop G Series Intel Core i7-740QM 4GB Memory 500GB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M 15.6" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit G53JW-XN1
ASUS Laptop G Series Intel Core i7-740QM 4GB Memory 500GB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M 15.6" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit G53JW-XN1

Pros: man this is fast compared to the toshiba and the g73 the processor had killed my AMD version added 8gb memory took both 2gb sticks out this can run borderlands at MAX and that game is graphical intense handles like a dream the whole package is a more than a gamer laptop its just beautiful!!!!!

Cons: well cant find the 4th slot ive been told its under the screen area yeah im at 12gb im good there do you really even need more? It is a bit heavy but not a con its a gamer laptop, the button for the dvd drive is hard to hit but not too bad there and the speakers are tinny if you dont have it on the right setting through the THX system

Overall Review: there is no reason you should pay an arm and leg for anything more good warranty sorry EXCELLENT warranty great notebook to replace your desktop anyday and newegg has the best price....BUT...... i think if you spend more than $500 newegg should hook you up with a T-shirt or something lol

Pros: hardware

Cons: defects like the power pin yes it breaks listen to these reviews i got rid of mine and went back to desktop and am happy i did th epower pin broke 2 times in 6 months and im careful the AC adapter went and it had issues all through the time i owned it and WILL NEVER BUT ASUS gaming laptops again!!!!

Overall Review: buy MSI my girlfriend has a msi gaming laptop its well build and customer service on it was great unlike asus. still hasnt needed an rma msi has better quality all around!!!! i will still use asus for desktop stuff but they screw that up im writing them off for good!

Pros: Very well made, everything is well placed, and it looks AWESOME!

Cons: Price is a little high but you do get what you pay for!

Overall Review: This thing is the coolest MOBO I've ever owned and IO recommend it completely!!!! I love Asus but this one is much better built and looks cooler. Plus all the bells and whistles it comes with, yep very happy!

Pros: excellent as always from logitech

Cons: a bit pricey

Overall Review: ive had these and the x530 ones both very nice and never had one go bad yet after years of use and loud great sounding games and music im happy. logitech has always been one of the best out there

Nice case

RAIDMAX AGUSTA ATX-605BW Black / White Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: nice case great cable management and nice setup

Cons: wasnt free

Overall Review: i love that everything is set apart and the LED's are nice and can fit the big coolers. its lighter than the antec 1200 and not much smaller with tons of room to triple SLI if needed just gotta add some 80mm fans with LED's in the HDD area make it look cooler :)

Galaxy GTX 680 GC

Galaxy 68NPH6DV6AXX GeForce GTX 680 GC 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: VERY FAST, shorter than most, and pretty nice looking. I figured that this card would be cheap made but it actually isnt too bad, most AMD cards are worse lol. Very fast and stays cool there is no game yet thats even made this pant and i haven't even overclocked it yet. The dual fans and custom heatsink is nice i havent seen it go above 62c under full load on boarderlands 2 completely cranked 4x AA everything on high/ ultra. So that being said its a bit cooler than the other models. These will fit in most cases shorter than most cards its actually not much bigger than my old 9800gtx+

Cons: still not being as cheaply made as i was thinking its still kinda flimsy, the MSI twin frozer 3 cards are much better made but $40 more i dunno lol. should have a card with the SN on it and i shouldnt have to register this card asus and EVGA doesnt require that, but 3 year warranty isnt bad. the box should come with a HDMI converter

Overall Review: I've had a bad time with the MSI gtx 560ti 2gb and i know those cards have problems i dont think that these will. dont be afraid to get this card its the same GPU, i dont like zotac,ECS,XFX, or HIS much but galaxy is a bit better than those and being the cheapest and fastest 2gb version (if your running just 1080p all you need is 2gb) just get it its worth it. oh BTW the GTX 680 galaxy signal is an LED which is kinda nice :) my setup asus TUF sabertooth z77 mobo I7 3770k stock speed with CM evo 212 plus cooler 2x8gb corsair DDR3 1600 antec 1000w psu raidmax augusta case ocz agility 3 120gb ssd 500gb wd green hdd 750gb wd blue hdd logitech 600 and g110 keyboard asus 23" lcd
