Better than the 6800GS

EVGA 256-P2-N553-AX GeForce 7600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Supported Video Card
EVGA 256-P2-N553-AX GeForce 7600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Supported Video Card

Pros: Out performs the 6800GS in every benchmark in every review I've read, even at higher resoultions with high/levels of AA/AF. If you're in need of an upgrade and don't wanna spend over $xxx this is the best choice since its using newer, more efficient architecture than the Geforce 6800 series, and offers much better DVD/hdtv playback.

Cons: Fan gets kinda loud when games start to play but its easily drowned out by my speakers.

Overall Review: Regarding the person who wrote the review titled: "Still doesn't beat the 6800GS" First, this is not a message board. This is for people who actually own the product unlike yourself. Second, don't use this customer review system to write false imformation which you have done. And third, why are you calling people who bought this card fanboys?

Most Critical Review

Horrible!, Asus is way over-rated.

ASUS Black 12X Blu-ray Burner SATA BW-12B1ST/BLK/G/AS

Pros: I got to watch The Force Awakens on blu-ray once.

Cons: After just a few months it quit reading blu-ray movies all together. Sent it back to Asus for repair took about 3 weeks to get it back because they gave me the wrong address. Worked again for a few months and once again it stopped reading blu-rays. Called Asus back and they wouldn't replace it. Now I'm lucky if I can get a DVD to play.

Overall Review: I do not recommend and will never buy another Asus product.

Not perfect, but still a great monitor for the money.

Pixio PX275h 27" WQHD 2560 x 1440 Widescreen 95Hz HDR Professional IPS Gaming Hybrid Monitor

Pros: 27 inch 1440p HDR IPS G-Sync compatible No dead pixels

Cons: There is some subtle backlight bleeding along the lower right corner. Not really noticeable unless I'm looking at a totally dark screen

Overall Review: Yeah this was a nice upgrade from my old Asus 1080p 60hz monitor. I do a lot of gaming and 95hz is really a good balanced refresh rate. I know it's not the highest but my 1660 Ti is still doing a good job keeping up with it. Even in some games where I can't maintain that framerate its still smooth and there is no screen tearing thanks to g-sync. Which I highly recommend you get a display port cable to go along with it.

Way better than HDMI

Pros: With this I can utilize my monitors full refresh rate with G-Sync, HDMI can't.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Rosewill may not be the most well known company, but they make great products, been buying them for a while now.

G.Skill just works

G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C16D-16GVKB

Pros: Runs at 3200mhz on my ASRock B450m Pro 4 with no issues

Cons: I wish I had money for more

Overall Review: Never had any bad experiences with the Ripjaws series, I recommend it. Edit: Bought a second kit to have 32gb and it was not a smooth experience. The new kit would only run at 2133mhz and even then would BSOD when trying to load windows. Returned.

Very happy with these.
