Pros: Upgraded from a 4850, so the difference was clear. Battlefield 3 - Runs playable at 1080 custom ultra (fxaa on no msaa). At lower resolutions it is smooth as butter, I would go for a little more powerful card if you want 60fps at all times and cant deal with dipping to 30 or 40 in huge battles at 1080p+ (not a deal if you turn settings down, im talking ULTRA with no msaa or 2X) Diablo 3, everything maxed doesnt really push it. Starcraft 2 same deal. Other games that run great on it: Skyrim, FEAR3, Dirt3, Deus Ex, Sonic Generations, Minecraft with shader mods, etc. Power Consumption is actually less than an ancient 4850, so I overclocked it a little with msi afterburner to 1175 gpu, 1200 memory (from 1000, 1125) with no problems. Doesn't really get very hot but I have decent airflow. specs Athlon X4 645 @ 3.875 GHZ 2X4GB Ripjaws 1600 Biostar A870 Antec 450watt psu XFX CORE edition 7770 Antec 300 Illusion case

Cons: Don't notice loads of improvement on some DX9 games from a 4850, which admittedly is probably the same range of card from the 4000's. Not a con with the card, or newegg, but amd drivers kind of lack, especially in the HDMI scaling department, you have to set the overscan to 0% manually for every resolution/timing mode that you use (my monitor is hdmi) Newer games with MSAA on don't perform amazingly, but what would you expect.

Overall Review: First off, my card looks different than the one pictured here. Mainly in the connectors in the back, mine has 2X DVI, 1XHDMI, 1XDisplayport. Also, another reviewer mentioned this card doesn't support crossfire, well that is just plain wrong, both the one I received and the one pictured here do. And from what I hear it scaled incredibly well, so I would grab 2 if on sale. To sum it up, I would go for this card if on sale, if not, I would recommend a gtx550ti or 560se, if only just for the better drivers.

Pros: Was on sale for a good price. I had just ordered a 5700x and returned it when I saw the sale. Very fast in some games. Coming from an Intel 10th gen i3. Doesn't use a ton of power in comparison to equivalent ish Intel chips (12600k, 12700k)

Cons: Hot, especially on air cooling. Initially was hard to set up a fan curve with Fan Control that didn't blast it when just opening programs. PBO Tuner2 is your friend. Need to set a good -25 offset with slightly tuned limits. Then it doesn't break 65C (generally well under) unless doing some linpack or prime95, then it settles around 79-80 still. Couldn't get infinity fabric 1900 to boot. Heard it is common with Ryzen 5000 chips, so not worried. Didn't try slightly higher, just left ram at 3600 1:1 (1800). Some games will not show much difference to say a 5700x. For the price of the chip alone, better chips can be had for productivity(however motherboard + ddr5 ram price is a different story)

Overall Review: Satisfied with the CPU, don't plan to upgrade for at least 4 years. Decided not to get am5 as it seems to still be in growing pains stage, and ddr5 is in its infancy as well, real world performance is barely above ddr4, and in some cases worse, if you don't go for a high end kit.

Pros: Fast as it gets for gen 3. Dram. Reliable brand. No glued on heatsink so easy to install under a motherboards included heat shield.

Cons: Can't comment on longevity, qlc worries many people , but I think as long as you don't get an unlucky dud, it will last for years to come. Ugly green with white sticker (put it under motherboard heat shield hehe)

Overall Review: Great drive, Intel is a trusted brand, price was very close to "ye olde random brand" questionable drives on rainforest website

Pros: I haven't tried any AIO or water-cooling, but from an air-cooling POV, this case is very good. The fans included can blow a lot of air. The included fan hub is nice. I have the included fans plus 4 more 140mm hooked up to it (2 sets of 2 daisy chained to each other) and my CPU fan's ARGB connector to sync colors. Alot of cable management hooks, Velcro straps, etc. Comes with more screws than you will ever need and a plastic "tackle box" to put them in. Enough clearance for probably any video card or CPU air cooler ever made to fit. Easily removable hdd cages to get in your psu cables easier. Sturdy. Price is actually amazing considering the quality of the 160mm fans alone.

Cons: Main gripe is the included screws to attach fans to the psu shroud (bottom of case). They will only screw in with 25mm or less thick fans. Many 140mm fans are 27mm thick. Luckily I had a few screws from an old case that fit. A few small cons: -comes in "watercolor" configuration so I had to do a lot of unscrewing to move the motherboard standoffs and io shield location (required to use 140mm fans on bottom) -no power/hdd LED -no included dust filters

Overall Review: If you need an atx or eatx case and dont want to buy a $200-300 one, just add to cart and checkout now.

Pros: -Does what it says it does -No RGB -Black Heat Spreader

Cons: None

Overall Review: Recommended RAM, stable, easy XMP

Pros: Better than any sound card I've ever used from Creative(up to $150), and obviously better than my onboard. The driver panel is OK to use, has more technical options than you will see on most for this price. I haven't tried the card on anything high-end, but my speakers sound WAY better (corsair sp-2200) in the low ends, whereas with my onboard sound it didn't sound as "tight" if that helps. My main use is with headsets, and it performs well here. Virtually no noise on the mic input, very solid sound for games, music (using the pro gaming mode for 32-64 ohm) Tried some recording with my guitar, can't complain as it was almost impossible with my onboard sound due to the noise on the mic input.

Cons: Can't install one in my laptop...

Overall Review: I can only imagine what the more expensive XONAR cards are like... Note I didn't use any really high end headsets with this card, so can't comment there, but sounds great on my plantronics / creative / steelseries headsets.
