Very capable card at a very nice price!
XFX Radeon HD 4870 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card HD-487A-ZWFC
Pros: Able to run almost any game at a moderately high setting, comes with a crossfire cable and a DVI-D to VGA converter, uses one PCI slot.
Cons: This model does not exhaust the hot air out of a PCI slot cover, nor does it have RAMsinks. Not DX11 compatible.
Overall Review: With the 5000 series rolling out, these cards will continue to drop in price. Should hold it's own for a while to come.

Great feature, looks and price, but too many failures to continue using.
CyberPower CP1000AVRLCD Intelligent LCD UPS Systems - 1000VA/600W, 120 VAC, NEMA 5-15P, Mini-Tower, 9 Outlets, LCD, PowerPanel
Pros: Looks great, great features and ratings at price-point.
Cons: I have bought about 10-12 of these for use at our customers, and 4 have now failed. It looks bad on us, even though it is not our equipment. I have to go through the expense of shipping replacements to/from customer, and work on new ones from Newegg. Newegg, as always, has been great with replacing them.
Overall Review: I would steer clean of at least this product, and it has soured me on the Cyberpower brand in general. I am looking at other makes/models to switch to.

Fit was poor and no room.
Rosewill CHALLENGER ATX Mid-Tower Gaming PC Computer Case, Expansion Ready: Internal 3.5" Bays & External 5.25" Bays, 3 Pre-installed Fans with Side Fan Mount Option
Pros: Comes with three fans (one blue LED if you like that stuff). Plenty of expansion room. Some tooless nays
Cons: Too many external drive bays. Would be better suited for internal 3.5". Holes for fans, P.S. and side panels didn't line up.
Overall Review: I would stay away from this one. I ended up sending it back as it didn't meet my expectations.

Little card that could....
GIGABYTE Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card GV-R787OC-2GD
Pros: With rebates a-plenty and 8000 series cards looming, the price is right. With the latest drivers, you are looking at ridiculous gains in performance....so price/performance is high. Efficient, and with the great cooler, never broke 68C in Furmark with the VCore pegged. Gigabyte's software automatically will check sftware/BIOS for updates.
Cons: No output connectors included for Mini DisplayPort. No VGA for those with older monitors.

CORSAIR XMS3 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMX8GX3M2B1600C9
Pros: Runs rated specs on AMD 890FX systems, has effective heat spreaders, low profile to fit under large air coolers
Cons: Doesn't want to go any lower on the timings (you buy for the rated specs and hope for better)
Overall Review: No noticable droppoff in performance from my Corsair 4GB kit with lower timings (8-8-7-20-1t)
