Bought two of these so far

Pros: inexpensive entry level video card with a lot of features. This card works well as a home theater pc ( I built one for a church and its perfect for their needs) and it also plays games fairly well considering its not a high powered GPU. It wasnt meant to play the latest games at max settings it was meant to be what it is. An upgrade for the onboard graphics which is does very well.
Cons: none I know of
Overall Review: This isnt intended to play games at resolutions that the higher end cards are needed for, its just a basic upgrade from using the APU graphics. In crossfire this card does well but an RX570 is better and less expensive. If youre expecting a video card that plays games like a Titan or Vega does I dont know what to tell you. For this video cards price its hard to beat, especially in a HTPC.
Pure Garbage

Pros: NONE
Cons: Loaded with big brother features that spy on you like BIOMETRICS to log in and back doors for their clients to steal your metadata.
Overall Review: Im a Microsoft AZ-301 certified technician and know a lot more than the average computer tech. This version is Microsquash's preparation for the new "controlled" internet where you will need a thumb print or retina scan to log on. I can not in good faith to EVER recommend this pro big brother operating system to anyone. I am predominantly a Linux RPM guy and personally cant stand this DARPA garbage company. Microsoft was NOT founded by Bill Gates he was only a "front man" it was created by DARPA to get around the Federal Trade Commision for IBM. Knowing the truth about them and seeing this garbage they are putting out now all I can say is if you accept it you'll get what you deserve.
Very nice air flow and lighting

Pros: Theyre bright blue and flow more than enough air. Theyre quiet and theyre not expensive, you get a lot for not much $$$.
Cons: N O N E ! ! !
Overall Review: I am buying more of these and keeping them in stock, they work well, light up nicely, and they seem to last a while.
A lot of Motherboard for not a lot of $$$

Pros: Its MSI and loaded with a ton of features. Its extremely fast even with a RYZEN 3 3200G and 16 gigs of DDR4. My next one is getting a much better CPU like a RYZEN 7 PRO 5750G and 64 gigs of DDR4. For the cost of this Motherboard being what it is this frees up money for a better CPU, more Ram, or better video card. This board POSTED right away and was smooth sailing.
Cons: Cons? Really? Its MSI how can there be anything negative?
Overall Review: I custom build computers for gaming, business, graphics design work stations, and web browsers. I use MSI because in most of the 1000+ Ive built and MSI has never let me down compared to some other well known brands. This particular motherboard is as good as any Ive ever used and I will be definitely buying moe.
A very good PSU for this price

Pros: This PSU is high quality for this price and put out plenty of power for mid level machines.
Cons: its not modular
Overall Review: EVGA makes quality products in everything of theirs Ive used. I have bought EVGA PSUs in all outputs and have yet to have one come back. I own a computer repair business and cant afford to sell inferior products and EVGA gives me piece of mind knowing once the customer takes it home it wont be back for replacement.
This is a fantastic monitor

Pros: Awesome graphics for a HTPC and AMD GPU. Its inexpensive not cheap and is easy on the eyes.
Cons: What cons?
Overall Review: I built this for my Ladies HTPC as a decent low cost monitor for watching her chick flix with the TV its also connected with. Being 5 ms response time its perfect for this use as shes no gamer in any way shape or form. So for her it was a perfect match and Im buying a couple more as soon as theyre available to have in stock in my shop.
