great deal
Pros: cheap so far it works fine
Overall Review: this is a new drive, it doesn't come in retail packaging, it came in an anti-static bag so at first I thought I got sold a refurb and they ripped me off me, but on crystal disk info it has zero power on hours, so it is in fact a new oem drive. great deal, cheapest new 7200 rpm 500 gb hard drives I can find.
Nice high resolution display
Pros: *27 inches, not overly big but big enough for doing a lot at once on screen like productivity which for me is 100 chrome tabs and you-tube videos and some programs running *pictures and videos and games look much nicer at 1440p than 1080p I doubt the jump from 1440p to 4k is as significant as 1080p to 1440p at this screen size plus you need a super expensive pc to play games at 4k, 1440p seems to be the best option right now because mid range gpus can handle it. *Freeesync feature works great with my NVIDIA GPU *95 hz refresh rate *Back-light gets very bright if you turn brightness up *No dead or stuck pixels so far did one of those dead and stuck pixel tests on you-tube Couldn't find any *Looks nice, sleek design, stand looks nice too *Comes with metal stand(not adjustable, hardly a con for the price point). *vesa compatible If I ever want to get adjustable stand *Has OK built in speakers which is nice if you want to hook up a console because Xbox left out the audio jack *HDR support, which is a bonus to me as I have never used it before, nice that it has support although I doubt its as good as those HDR rated 1000 and 600 screens that are ultra expensive.
Cons: none, Has all the features I want plus more and works great, no defects.
Overall Review: Definitely a big difference upgrading from a 60 hz 1080p display. Also future proof if I ever build a more powerful pc in the next few years because it supports 95 hz and hdr and freesync, so 1 less thing to buy later on. Was unsure at first then read IGNS reviews for some of pixios other models and a youtube review on a different pixio monitor so I went for it. I guess this model isnt as popular because its not 144 hz but I dont have a 2080 ti or an i9 or care about super high refresh rates so I aim for 60 fps 1440p high/ultra settings the extra frames I can get on this monitor are just a bonus to me and can come in handy with more optimized or older games because I prefer visuals to frame rate.
very large and loos nice
Pros: very large so you have more room to move mouse around, looks decent
Cons: none really, if your a really serious keyboard and mouse player you could probably find some cons but im not so works fine for me.
Overall Review: comes in nice packaging, very large did not know it would be this large but I don't mind it more real estate for the mouse cant hurt, if anything it can improve produtivity and looks decent.
good card
Pros: Small form factor Stays cool enough to automatically overclock itself when I set fan curve in msi afterburner ray tracing support very powerful and this is just nvidias "mid range" card
Cons: no backplate
Overall Review: I actually got this card because it was the cheapest rtx 2060 and its already a little overkill for my system anyway so why spend more on something thats already slightly overkill. my case is plenty big enough for one of the triple fan cards but whats the point this one was cheaper and has ray tracing support which is half the reason I upgraded. I run everything max settings 1080p, its plenty powerful enough for 1080p right now but knowing technology this will be an adequate card for 1080p in 2 years for new games with more ray tracing and better graphics. The mine-craft ray tracing update is already pushing this card pretty hard. I set an aggressive fan curve to keep the card cooler so it automatically overclocks itself and yes the fan does get loud, but i wear headphones when i play games so i dont mind. If you want something that stays cool while being quieter and you want to overclock or keep it cooler so it automatically over-clocks while being less noisy get a card with 3 fans and a larger heatsink. If you want to save money or have a small case this card is great and very powerful and has no significant disadvantages performance wise to the more expensive larger RTX 2060s besides being louder If you want to overclock or let it auto overclock.
Shipped fast and product worked
Shipped fast, and pre-owned cpu I ordered worked. And this seller didn't have an insane price on Skylake quad cores like some other listings, fair price and fast delivery.
