Most Favorable Review

Great Value

AMD Ryzen 5 5500 - Ryzen 5 5000 Series Cezanne (Zen 3) 6-Core 3.6 GHz Socket AM4 65W No Integrated Graphics Desktop CPU Processor - 100-100000457BOX
AMD Ryzen 5 5500 - Ryzen 5 5000 Series Cezanne (Zen 3) 6-Core 3.6 GHz Socket AM4 65W No Integrated Graphics Desktop CPU Processor - 100-100000457BOX

Pros: Great budget cpu. I had a Ryzen 5 3600 that quit and was looking a cheap cpu for a budget build and this fit the bill perfectly. I have no complaints, this actually gets a little better fps than the 3600 and was cheaper than most of the used ryzen cpus.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: I can't tell much difference in this cpu from the 5600 in my main rig and it's quite a bit cheaper. Overall a great budget cpu.

Horrible Product

USB WiFi Adapter 1300Mbps USB 3.0 WiFi Adapter 802.11AC Dual Band 2.4Ghz/5.8Ghz with High Gain 5dBi Antenna Wireless Network WiFi Dongle for PC/Desktop/Laptop Supports Windows/Mac OS/Ubuntu

Pros: There are no pro's other than it sometimes works. It is too inconsistent for any meaningful gaming.

Cons: The wifi signal is not consistent at all. Running multiple speed tests the results vary from 8 mbps to over 100 mbps. My router is in the same room, and my old non ac wireless dongle is 100 times more consistent. I should have sent it back when I saw the driver had to be downloaded from a dropbox account.

Overall Review: I would not recommend this product to anyone.

Decent for the price

ZOTAC Synergy Edition GeForce GT 610 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Low Profile Ready Graphics Card ZT-60602-10L

Pros: I ordered this card to plug in a htpc and it runs fairly quiet and performs pretty well for a low end video card used only for movies and retro gaming.

Cons: I gave three eggs because the rebate center and Zotac's customer service is absolutely atrocious. I even chose their expedited service for the cost of $2 and its going on three months now still with no rebate received.

Overall Review: Zotac makes decent video cards but don't let a rebate influence your purchase. They string you along in hopes that eventually you forget about the rebate I guess.
