ASUS GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Graphics Card GTX650TIB-DC2OC-2GD5

Pros: Price to Performance. Silent Cooling. Clocks up nicely with the GPU Tweak software.

Cons: None yet... Other than the fact the price dropped $30 in the last couple weeks!

Overall Review: So I thought I should update my review due to recent events. BF4 beta was released and my Phenom II was bottle necking this card. Upgraded to Intel 3570K bumped it up to 4.3GHZ GPU tweak set GPU boost to 70% Memory to 30% power target to 110%. that is 1245Mhz core / 6036Mhz Memory Went from 15 to40 FPS to a stable 45 to 70 FPS ultra settings. 1920 x 1080 with dual monitors so i could use the battle overview map on second screen.

Pros: Price

Cons: Made from very weak low grade plastic. Used for 3 hours and paddle shifters are broken. Adult used.. no mis handling. It is very small.. but if not for the weak build it would be nice.

Overall Review: Don't waste your money if you intend to use the paddle shifters.

GIGABYTE M6900 Metal Black 7 Buttons Tilt Wheel USB Wired Optical Gaming Mouse
GIGABYTE M6900 Metal Black 7 Buttons Tilt Wheel USB Wired Optical Gaming Mouse

Pros: 3 way DPI change on the fly. Solid little mouse. The case it comes in... Wow really??

Cons: Just a tad smaller (height) then a previous gigabyte i owned.

Overall Review: This is a great mouse.. great response for those who don't use a mouse pad like me. I'm a big guy 6'4" (Very large hands) this mouse fits pretty well.. but it could do with a little more weight. Overall it is a very good purchase.. Don't think twice. What to do with this case it comes in is my question. I mean really?? You could have put this in a cardboard box and shaved a few bucks off the price.
