Possibly my last AM4 upgrade

Pros: Very cool temps Low power consumption Works in MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX
Overall Review: Living in the Southwest I don't need higher temps. 60C at max load. Upgraded from 2700X. So happy with AM4 platform. Good on AMD for allowing old boards to support new 5000 series.
This set not good for heavy use

Pros: Cheap, good while it worked
Cons: Mouse is VERY CHEAP. No LEDs on keyboard. Weird choice of Specialized buttons, could do without Calculator and PC power button(substitute a forward and back button for player)
Overall Review: I did not buy from Newegg. This set is not good for heavy use. The right mouse button started double clicking when clicking once 3 months in. Had to buy another mouse, at Walmart for now. I would avoid this set because light or heavy use the buttons WILL break, it just depends on usage how long they will last.Now I paid $30 for a keyboard, I guess I need to get a better quality set.
Trusted Crucial in the past

Pros: Got the 4TB model. Fast, Plenty of space. Replacement one seems fine, time will tell.
Cons: 1st one had CRC error, couldn't initialize.
Overall Review: Acronis software is junk, used it to set up 1st and replacement other than setup it doesn't do anything useful to me. Uninstalled immediately after setup. I also have a Crucial 250GB version and haven't had any issues with it so I went with same brand. Newegg handled return with no issues. This was the very first piece of hardware I ever got DOA going all the way back to DOS days.
WOW!

Pros: - Beautiful card, lighting is sick; build quality and materials are top notch. Doesn't feel cheap. - Solid support bar included - Great performance, temps and quiet fans; doesn't pass 60C on max. This is the most premium card I've ever owned.
Cons: - Its a heavy massive card. Had to "edit" my case to fit.(knew this before purchase) New case would have been easier but my "edit" came out nice.
Overall Review: I love this card. $830 seemed not too bad a price for the better cooler version of 3070ti. MSI never put out an MSRP for this card but going off of $100 to $150 above standard 3070ti $600 doesn't seem much of a markup.
Upgrade from a RX 480 8gb

Pros: Obviously, its a 1660 Super(if I knew how good it was I would have purchased earlier in the year) Slight upgrade from my RX 480. EVO cooler runs card cool and quiet, idle and under load. Drivers are compact and solid.
Overall Review: I know from RX 480 to 1660S is not much of an upgrade but the low fan noise while keeping lower temps was worth it. The 1660S hits the right price point and graphical power for 1080p while getting a fair upgrade.
My first "GAMING" motherboard

Pros: Anything I say about this board has already been said... -Good VRM and heatsinks -Ryzen 3000 series ready Big plusses for me -price -6 SATA ports -good audio -room for expansion -works with 4 pin power connector (not mentioned anywhere in instructions) hope it doesn't damage anything.
Cons: I had a little trouble with updating BIOS with LIVE 6 software and then with flash button. Had to clear CMOS then update in BIOS; no issue. Not a fan of LED in the case; to me it's an unnecessary feature on any motherboard. Looks cool though.
Overall Review: I upgraded to Ryzen 2700x; this MB and 32gb ram from an i5-4570, budget mb and 16gb ram. This MB is the best I've ever owned. It has so many features and is so easy to set up. It is the most i've ever spent on a MB; I've always purchased budget MBs. If you are looking for a solid board for a good price I highly recommend this. FYI the ram I got GSKILL F4-3200c16D-32GVK CL16-18-18-38 1.35v works in this board at 3200 even though not on MSI site.
