Nice

Pros: Good card, quieter and smaller than my previous 9800gtx+. No heating issues in my midsized box. Good prompt service from Newegg.
Cons: As another reviewer wrote, you do need some techie know how as you have to set your own fan speed but it`s easy enough. The disc it came with was all scratched up and my computer would not recognize it. I downloaded the latest drivers and Precision X off the internet easy enough but I don`t know what else was available on the disc. Minus 1 egg for the bad disc and fan maintenance.
Overall Review: Some other joker said it it was loud as a vacuum or a hair dryer. what a goof. EVGA used to have lifetime warranty, now 3 years only.
Could be better

Pros: Was happy to receive an "S" panel. Contrast and brightness are good. No dead pixels. Minimal backlight bleeding. Great for gaming. Farcry and HL2 look amazing.
Cons: The vertical color consistency is very annoying. The top of the monitor has darker colors than the bottom. The bottom looks a little washed out. I`ve tried all kinds of adjustments and viewing angles but it`s still there. Not a huge deal but very annoying.
Overall Review: If I had purchased it locally, i`d probably return it. I see the problem posted in other forums so it`s not just my monitor.
Good Ram

Pros: Cheap Looks cool
Cons: Can`t think of any
Overall Review: I took a gamble because this RAM was not on the QVL of the MSI Z87-g45 motherboard I bought but it works just fine. It was the cheapest at the time is why I bought it. I think 16 gig of RAM might be overkill but I`m futureproofing my new rig as much as possible.
Good upgrade

Pros: Works well, runs all my games on highest settings. Knifing seems easier on COD4 and 5.
Cons: The fan is noisy compared to my old 8800gts 640mb. I have the latest nvidia drivers, the latest EVGA precision software and yes I turn off the auto mode. I cannot get the fan to run below 60%. In fact I can`t do anything with the fan speed setting at all. Another reviewer had the same issue.
Overall Review: I was going to wait and see what the nvidia directx 11 cards would be like but my 8800gts died so I had to buy something pronto. Guess i`ll get used to the noise.
Nice Case

Pros: Classy looking, easy to work with, very quiet.
Cons: Horrible instructions, motherboard temps are up a bit, might have to buy a stronger fan.
Overall Review: This is my first build and had I known the instructions were so poor, I would have bought another case but it all worked out and i`m happy with it.
