great little card

Pros: smaller than some GTX 960 cards Blower style cooling; great for smaller itx builds great for light gaming
Cons: none that I can think of
Overall Review: to the other guy who left a review, Casey C, what are you talking about? I have had no issues with this card at all and it does not use any proprietary ASUS drivers. It is basic knowledge that you should never use the driver disc that is included; ALWAYS best to go to nvidia's site and download the latest driver or even use the auto-detect tool on their site to do so, I would dare say your technical experience level should not be as high as you selected on your review...
a few months later... re-review

Pros: looks great love the small size decent build quality
Cons: HOT HOT HOT CPU temps are terrible; system as a whole runs really hot even with low tdp cpu
Overall Review: I would not recommend this for gaming; my temps were terrible after gaming. perhaps this will work better with a skylake cpu (lower tdp than the i5 I was using) but I was not happy with it
excellent screen; horrible trackpad

Pros: - affordable gaming laptop with 4GB 960M - SSHD is fast enough - soft touch feel is very nice - great build quality overall
Cons: - speakers "pop" and are poor quality - absolutely TERRIBLE trackpad (wish it had separate buttons too) - wifi driver issues
Overall Review: overall this was a decent laptop but I ended up returning it because of the driver issues and the absolutely terrible track pad. I really think that they ruined this laptop with the track pad. I also had issues with the wifi dropping out frequently. I am an IT professional and I was very frustrated with the wifi issues. I love the screen and the overall feel of the laptop but the issues I had were too much for me. At $800 I needed to like it a lot more than I did
avoid if you use Steam in home streaming

Pros: 8GB VRAM runs fairly quiet and not too hot great warranty freesync
Cons: Major issues with Steam in home streaming!!! I use steam in home streaming frequently and when I decided to upgrade to this card I have had nothing but issues (constant screen flickering) and there is no fix for it. It is a known issue with no known permanent solution. I returned this and I am going with a GTX 970. This was my first AMD card in 10 years and it was very disappointing. I popped my new 970 in and in home streaming works perfectly. As a father with 3 small kids I can't frequently escape to my man cave to game but I can jump on my laptop from time to time so in home streaming has been great. Also, i tried freesync with this card and it also has some issues/bugs; too bad
Overall Review: I was really hoping that this card would work out for me but that has not been the case at all; very disappointed. I also tried to use freesync and ran into some strange issues and decided it is more trouble than it's worth; I am going to stick to Nvidia for now. My 970 has no trouble at 1440p
Quality case that delivers on cooling performance

Pros: Heavy (many people list this as a con but I like how sturdy it feels; very solid. Cable management was pretty good and the overall quality of this case is outstanding. Coming from a Cooler Master case this has been a very nice upgrade. I would rate the ease of build up there with the top end Corsair cases. The design is great; conservative but with many options for cooling
Cons: none that I can think of but would have like just a little more room behind the mobo for cable management; it's not bad but a little more would have been nice. If you use a modular PSU you will be all set
Overall Review: I would not hesitate to use this case again; very happy with it
Great drive for the price

Pros: small, quality construction, fast speeds
Cons: none that I can think of
Overall Review: I managed to get this on a special for $18 and you can't beat that for a 64GB USB 3.0 drive!
