Evolution

Phanteks Evolv Shift 2 Air Mini-ITX Case, Fabric Side Panels, Aluminum Panels, D-RGB, Black
Phanteks Evolv Shift 2 Air Mini-ITX Case, Fabric Side Panels, Aluminum Panels, D-RGB, Black

Pros: - The cable management has been improved over the first version of the case - The airflow is so much better - Running a Cooler Master G200P CPU cooler and it works great with the mesh panels - Lots of small improvements like a little more room for the I/O area of the motheroboard. - The new cable cover is larger and stays in place a lot better than before - The mounting for 3.5" and 2.5" drives has been improved as well especially for allowing cable management around them compared to the first case - The case looks awesome and with three 140mm fans everything is quiet and cool

Cons: - none really but I guess limited AIO and CPU cooler options if i had to gripe about something - PCI-E riser is still gen 3 I believe so for anyone with a mythical 3000's or 6000's this could be an issue.

Overall Review: - I think this is one of the best looking ITX cases and its easy to build in - I would definitely purchase this again and build in it all over again - updating to a PCI-E gen 4 riser would be nice for a future cases Specs -Intel i5 8400 - CoolerMaster G200P CPU Cooler -Asus Z370-I Motherboard - 1TB ADATA SSD SATA - 500GB NVME PCI-E - GTX 1070 - Corsair SF600 PSU

Most Critical Review

Too Much hassle

GIGABYTE GA-Z87X-UD3H LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
GIGABYTE GA-Z87X-UD3H LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: -price point -quality if it arrives working -looks awesome -I love the BIOS but they are a bit lacking in some areas

Cons: -UEFI BIOS a bit lacking on some details - My board was DOA but it was extremely difficult to diagnose which could be a lack of experience on my part -NEVER had so many issues trying to diagnose a board -BSOD's that occurred every 5-10 minutes pointing towards faulty hard drive or corrupt OS -Tech support from Gigabyte was quick to respond but far from helpful at all -Just a bad experience for me...this will be my last Gigabyte board -Wish i would of gone with refund instead of exchange

Excellent Quality

Seasonic PRIME GX-850, 850W 80+ Gold, Full Modular, Low Noise, Premium Japanese Capacitor, 12 Year Warranty, Nvidia RTX 30/40 Super, AMD GPU Compatible, Ref# SSR-850GD

Pros: - very high build quality - extremely high standards with a 12 year warranty - the price is really reasonable - accessories

Cons: - the new 12vhpw cable is insanely hard to find in Northa America and there are two versions which is confusing

Overall Review: Quality Product

Good but expensive

GIGABYTE GeForce RTX­­ 4070 Ti SUPER WINDFORCE MAX OC 16G Graphics Card, 3x WINDFORCE Fans, 16GB 256-bit GDDR6X, GV-N407TSWF3MAX OC-16GD Video Card
GIGABYTE GeForce RTX­­ 4070 Ti SUPER WINDFORCE MAX OC 16G Graphics Card, 3x WINDFORCE Fans, 16GB 256-bit GDDR6X, GV-N407TSWF3MAX OC-16GD Video Card

Pros: - Ray tracing performance is insane compared to my 7900 XT - includes a support bracket - low power consumption compared to my 7900 XT, usually about 100 watts lower power consumption - incredibly quiet fans and stock fan curve ( I usually have to tweak it in MSI afterburner) - the card looks really nice with the grey and black with no RBG - free copy of Star Wars Outlaws to test out the new ray tracing - DLSS quality looks so much better than FRS 3 - Frame generation & DLSS is a little smoother, higher fps, and handles particle effects better than FSR 2-3. - GeForce Experience/Nvidia control panel is a pro and con....it's getting better.

Cons: - PRICE is insane. A GTX 1070 ti adjusted for inflation would sell for $560 today. This card should be $599 - the 12vhpw adapter doesn't feel confidence inspiring and was really difficult to get fully seated into the port - rasturization performance is meh compared to my old 7900 XT. This card was $30 more and is usually 10-15% slower in games without Ray tracing.

Overall Review: Overall an excellent card for performance in 1440p 144hz gaming.

Stopped working after 1 year & 4 months

ASRock Phantom Gaming Radeon RX 7900 XT 20GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 ATX Graphics Card RX7900XT PG 20GO
ASRock Phantom Gaming Radeon RX 7900 XT 20GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 ATX Graphics Card RX7900XT PG 20GO

Pros: None

Cons: - price $759 for a card that dies in less than 2 years - lots of driver issues - yet to hear back from the warranty department - the card was originally nice for non ray tracing games but it no longer outputs a video signal from any display or HDMI port on the back

Overall Review: Not the best quality

Excellent Upgrade

AMD Ryzen 7 5700X - Ryzen 7 5000 Series Vermeer (Zen 3) 8-Core 3.4 GHz Socket AM4 65W None Integrated Graphics Desktop CPU Processor - 100-100000926WOF
AMD Ryzen 7 5700X - Ryzen 7 5000 Series Vermeer (Zen 3) 8-Core 3.4 GHz Socket AM4 65W None Integrated Graphics Desktop CPU Processor - 100-100000926WOF

Pros: - PRICE, insanely cheap for a quick upgrade ($165) - Upgraded from a Ryzen 3700X and saw a massive increase in 1% and 0.1% lows for FPS which was my main goal - Low TDP and even with an overclock to 4.75Ghz the CPU only uses 75-80W of power most of the time

Cons: - This is more a con for me personally but still not fast enough for my 7900 XT on a 1440p monitor @ 144hz. Adding this note for someone with a similar build or performing GPU. I am still CPU bound in many games but that doesn't mean FPS average and lows haven't improved massively.

Overall Review: - This CPU at $165 vs a 5800X3D for $290-$320 just isn't worth the 1-30% improvement only in select games. The games I play only gain 1-10% performance which wasn't worth another $135+ - Ryzen 5700X - Gigabyte X470 -32GB 3600 MT/s RAM - AMD 7900 XT - Monitor 1440p @ 144hz
