Pros: I got this card because most reviews said it would be able to run most games at maximum settings, and so far, it hasn't disappointed! My two standards to go by is Skyrim and Battlefield 3. I can play any game without any lag. Only time I notice a dip in frame rate is during really intense fights in Battlefield 3, and even then the frame rate hasn't dropped lower than 50 fps.

Cons: The fan rubs against its own housing when running at high speeds, this causes a very annoying "clicking" sound. I'm worried that it may eventually break the fan, but I don't want to be without a video card for such a long time to get it repaired/replaced. Minus 1 egg for that.

Overall Review: Happy with the card, I just hope it has a long life span!

Pros: Nice design, very easy interface, and it does not drop connection even with a lot of devices pulling on the wifi.

Cons: Even at full bars, HD streaming is awful. For about an hour it will stream without problem, but then it will buffer every few seconds for the next hour for no noticeable reason. I live out in the country so I know there are no noise on the wifi frequencies that cause it, and signal strength bars remain at 80% or higher. This router was an upgrade from my NETGEAR WGR614 (1/8th the speed), but it does not do as good of a job.

Overall Review: I am really disappointed in this router. I thought for certain that it was a problem with my settings. However, after exhausting the TP-Link website and emailing back and forth with tech support, there have not been any explanations as to why this router cannot stream HD video.

Pros: - Sturdy build, doesn't feel like anything is going to break off. - Minimal RGB Lights. - No problems on startup. - Reasonably priced at $200 for a new gen board. - Packaging was recyclable.

Cons: - Peel off plastic isn't clearly marked (I almost missed 2 different spots). - One of the system fan plugs is a bit far back from the top or front of the case when factoring in a GPU installed; it still reached, just had to bypass some of the normal cable management, so there is a random wire hanging (not taut).

Overall Review: I had a hard time deciding on a new motherboard for a new build. The MB used to be a very standard part of the build that would have some basic features for a fairly standardized price, but the last decade has seen a lot of specialty MBs hit the market that still do the same basic stuff, but there is a lot of marketing and branding of "features" that made it difficult to choose one. My deciding factors was 1) reliability, 2) price, and 3) latest generation. This board hit all 3 and I am quite pleased with it. Booted up the first time with no problem, was able to install windows via USB without issue, all the connections worked, bios did need an update, but it was seamless and user friendly. I had a lot of anxiety on the MB because of how many products go out the door now that arrive faulty, but I am very pleased that ASRock maintained the standard of "working as intended" products. If I can get 10 years out of this board without any problems, I'll recommend ASRock for life.

Pros: - Does everything I need it to, 240 FPS in Warzone 3 on mix between normal to ultra settings, and video editing software hasn't crashed or had any hangs up. - Subtle design; as someone who does NOT want a Christmas tree for a computer, the simple lights are very nice. - Sturdy construction, was ready to use my anti-sag mount but didn't need it at all.

Cons: - The first one arrived with faulty VRAM (artifacts randomly appearing on screen that looked like random triangles and lines). - Its normal of price tag of $700 is too much for this card and would not really stand out at all as anything special. But at a $500 price tag or less, it is a much better product.

Overall Review: XFX Customer Service had a couple of basic troubleshooting steps, so from discovery of the fault to getting permission to return the card for a new one took about 4 days. This was good customer service experience for me - they didn't do anything amazing or anything noteworthy, just did the standard level of customer care that we should expect from any business. I would continue to buy XFX products because of their responsiveness with handling my faulty card.

Pros: - Pretty and simple. - No RGB Lights - Mostly quiet

Cons: - First one arrived broken; had a loud clanking sound and then stopped spinning within the first minute of use. Physically appeared to be in good condition, but something inside its housing was messed up. The replacement one arrived in similar good condition but it makes a high pitched electrical buzz that is only noticeable when everything else is quiet in the room. Did not want to deal with another return.

Overall Review: I enjoy BeQuiet as a brand and have invested in BeQuiet equipment. This is the only thing that I have had any problems with and it is still better than other brands I've used. The other fans do not make any noise at all besides normal operating sounds that is barely noticeable, even when under load. I am hoping to get 10 years out of these parts, as that is my standard and expectation.

Pros: Sturdy, easy to install, and no RGB lights.

Cons: A little wasteful packaging.

Overall Review: Ordered 4 sticks total and they all worked perfectly. That isn't always the case with new computer parts these days, more and more often you get faulty parts, but these are all flawless and worked as intended.
