Perfect motherboard for those who just want a motherboard
Pros: - Great VRM. Runs my Ryzen 9 3900x with PBO enabled with no issues - Great price for what you get - Plenty of USB ports - PCIe 4.0
Cons: - Wifi is fairly slow. At least it uses a standard M.2 laptop card, so its easily upgradable. - No debug LEDs
Overall Review: Would recommend to anyone looking for a motherboard at a good price.
Very brittle
Pros: -Works while it's still in 1 piece.
Cons: -Plug came off of lightning connector with almost no force.
Overall Review: Do not buy.
Great CPU for Gaming
Pros: - REALLY fast. With PBO enabled I'm able to hit a stable 4.2GHz on all-cores. - Fairly power eefficient and cool, considering it's a 12-core CPU. - Comes with decent CPU cooler.
Cons: - Wish it was a bit cheaper
Overall Review: Great CPU. Highly recommend
Best monitor I've ever had.
Pros: -Big monitor -Despite what the description/specs say, it is VESA 100x100 mountable. -Good resolution. -Low cost for the class of monitor -Curved -Freesync -144hz
Cons: -Low pixel density so images may not look as sharp at 1080p than they would on a smaller monitor. Doesn't matter much for games but for school/work there is a difference between this one and my old 24" 1080p. -Not IPS
Overall Review: Would recommend to gamers, not so much for office work though but I'm a gamer so not knocking any points off for that. EDIT 1/16/2019 Tested this monitor with G-Sync on (forced on in driver 417.71) with my GTX 1080: It will mostly work. After a COLD boot, your screen will be split down the middle. Fixed by turning monitor off and on again. After that variable refresh works perfectly. Tear does not appear after a restart, sleep, or hibernate. Only after turning the computer all the way off and on it will tear, but again just power-cycle the monitor..
Much faster than my old GTX 760
Pros: -Fast -Runs all my games at 1080p 144fps Ultra, even my AAA games. -Won the silicon lottery. +180mhz core +600mhz memory with no voltage changes all while staying under 80c. Hit 2125mhz with boost also in play. -Able to run games on my 4k tv at 60fps on non-aaa games and at least 45fps on my aaa games.
Cons: -Expensive -DVI port keeping it from being single-slot if watercooled *unless you don't mind using a dremel.* (Why still include these? Everything is using HDMI/DP now). -Some GPU sag even on reinforced PCIe slot.
Overall Review: Would recommend for either 4k gaming or high-refresh-rate gaming.
Excellent Case
Pros: -Great design (I was lucky enough to buy this before they made the PSU shroud red.) -Tempered glass -All-aluminum (except for inside of the front bezel and case feet, those are sturdy plastic.) -Good cable management for the size of the case.
Cons: -This could be a pro for some people, but it's small. -Heavy case due to glass side panel and metal construction. -Design of PCI-slot screw-cover could be alot better. -Front SSD tray is hard to wire the power cable to. -Not very good radiator support.
Overall Review: Highly recommended. Great pros and the cons can be circumstantial. NZXT delivers again.
