Pros: Picture is very nice and crisp, can't complain about that. A huge upgrade over my old Logitech. Love the privacy slider, all Web cameras should come with that feature. All and all very pleased.

Cons: Two Cons. Well more like 1.5. It's a plug and play so there aren't any driver software. A plus since it's ready to go out of the box, but a negative if you want to mess with any of the contrast, aspect ratio etc. Still for the price you really can't complain and there are work arounds, and you can always use the built in drivers. Second con, and this one was big for me is the length of the cord. It's short, I would say a short to medium length. Most people won't have issues with this, but my monitors are mounted which just raises them enough that the cord length becomes an issue. Now it does include a tripod, but still, I would have liked to place them where I wanted with ought getting a USB hub, USB extension, or something of that nature.

Overall Review: I would have to say I'm very pleased with the upgrade. I cant really complain because it's so much better than my previous. I wish there were a few quality of life improvements, but I can live.

Pros: This card always impresses me. I know most people want a 3080 or 3090, I think they're really missing out on a great card that does so much. 10 of 10 would buy this card over again. In fact I did.

Cons: I got nothing.

Overall Review: Seriously I know the dream is to have a 3080 or a 3090, if you can get your hand on this card do it.

Great case with one issue.

Pros: Personally, I love this case, and I love building in it. It can be almost completely disassembled for ease of access which is fantastic. I can't stress enough how easy it was to build into this case, And it looks pretty fantastic. However does have one glaring problem.

Cons: Installing the GPU and taking it out was a pain in the rear. It is a super tight fit between the GPU plugin And the edge of the case where everything plugs in. So tight I was concerned that I might be damaging the card. If there would have been even a millimeter or two more space between the edge of the case and where the motherboard sets for the GPU to plug in, there wouldn't have been an issue..

Overall Review: For future builds I think this case is really good. Obviously it's a very popular case that a lot of people built in. I personally just had issues with getting the GPU in and out because of the space.

Gets all the job done with no fuss.

Pros: Got this in the shuffle. Perfect for the build but nothing extra. Basically gets the job done with nothing fancy.

Cons: None particularly.

Overall Review: I wouldn't have chosen this outside of the shuffle, but it ticks all the boxes you need for a GPU.
