Still working fine

EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 01G-P3-1560-KR
EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 01G-P3-1560-KR

Pros: Overclocked the hell out of it one night when i got drunk. Worked great for 3 months until I killed my Asus board overclocking my 965 2 be (also drunk at the time). I was to lazy to RMA. So then I got drunk and ordered an I5 and a much nicer MB. No regrets afterwards. Now I have my i5 overclocked to 4.7 after I got drunk again one night. Anyhow, its still working a year and a half later, card no longer overclocked, i5 still overclocked. I game at 1080p just fine with this baby.

Cons: Im an alcoholic.

Overall Review: I'll upgrade to a 660 ti or 670 soon enough. I'm just waiting for the price to come down a little more. This has been a great card.

Most Critical Review

Mixed bag

PNY GeForce GTX 670 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card VCGGTX670XPB
PNY GeForce GTX 670 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card VCGGTX670XPB

Pros: Performs well. Great fps on everything I play maxed out in 1080p.

Cons: Where do I start? This isn't the card I ordered. It looks nothing like in the picture. And that would be fine if there wasn't vent holes in the side of the card. The problem with this design is that hot air gets blown out under the card and gets sucked back in. This blower is supposed to be pushing air out of the back of the case! :( Major Disappointment! Card is fairly loud when playing games. Also I DIDN'T receive my free PNY hdmi cable.

Overall Review: I can't blame PNY for this, Newegg sent me the wrong card. I want to send it back to Newegg. I'm sad because $320 was a good deal. A deal to good to be true, apparently. I rate this 2/5 for newegg. 4/5 for PNY. I really want a refund or a different card. I dread not being able to use my pc for a week though. This is the first time Newegg has ever let me down.

Excellent Card for the Size!

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7750 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 Low Profile Graphics Card 100357LP

Pros: This tiny little card is amazing for the price! There is no game I have tried that it can't play in med/high settings in 1080p. It runs very quiet and idles at 40 and maxes at 65 on temps in a slim, small htpc case with only one 80mm case fan! Also only uses about 50-60 watts of power...

Cons: The ONLY con is you can get an equivalent card for about $30 cheaper. But this card is made for htpcs, slim cases and low power sff builds.

Overall Review: I use this card in an htpc case. I can play most games on high settings at 2x or no AA. Battlefield 3 will play 1080p on low and medium type settings at 50-60 fps. Or 720p high settings at about 60+ fps. This is my bedroom pc i use it to play on. I use the android app called touch pad to control mouse keyboard functions on my GS3. And I use an xbox 360 controller with a wireless receiver for the games I play. I cant wait for the steam controller to come out. then i can play nearly everything! This is the best low profile card on the market, hands down!

Rosewill RG630-S12 - Green Series 630-Watt Active PFC Power Supply Unit - Continuous @ 104 Deg. F (40C), 80 PLUS Bronze Certified, Single 12V Rail, Compatible with Core i7, i5

Pros: I have owned this power supply since 6/28 2011. Soon to be 2 years. It is now powering my i5 2500k oc to 4.7, my overclocked gtx 670, 2 hardrives, one ssd, one dvd burner, one blu-ray drive, and a bunch of fans. My computer is running over 12 hours a day. So that is over 7500 hours and everything is fine. I would not hesitate to buy another one.

Cons: 2 year Warranty will run out soon. Not much of a con as I have a newer PS ive had laying around and I am too lazy to install, lol.

Overall Review: Buy it.

Great

Pros: Best cooler for the price. Dropped my temps by about 19 degrees at max on i5 2500k. Year and a half later still working flawlessly(fan is fine).

Cons: It's big, fits fine in an Antec 300 case though.

Overall Review: I clean it out every 4-5 months. But I live in very dusty/filthy conditions. lol

Not Reliable

Seagate Momentus XT ST95005620AS 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s with NCQ 2.5" Solid State Hybrid Drive Bare Drive
Seagate Momentus XT ST95005620AS 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s with NCQ 2.5" Solid State Hybrid Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Saved a few seconds on boot times.

Cons: Three weeks after purchase it started making screeching noises. Shortly after, it died. My data died with it.

Overall Review: Second experience with Seagate, second bad experience with Seagate. Get SSD if you want the real deal, or stick with a basic HDD. Didn't order from here.
