Amazing Gaming Laptop & Great Value!

Acer - Gaming Laptop - 17.3" FHD IPS 60 Hz, Intel i7-8750H, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB GDDR5, 16 GB Memory, 256 GB SSD, Windows 10 Home, VR Ready, Aspire 7 (A717-72G-700J) - ONLY @ NEWEGG
Acer - Gaming Laptop - 17.3" FHD IPS 60 Hz, Intel i7-8750H, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB GDDR5, 16 GB Memory, 256 GB SSD, Windows 10 Home, VR Ready, Aspire 7 (A717-72G-700J) - ONLY @ NEWEGG

Pros: Large screen with bright vibrant display Fast CPU and graphics card for gaming Quality build Good temp/heat control

Cons: Speaker quality is very poor and almost requires headphones or external speakers for anything outside of casual use. Lots of bloatware, nothing that a clean image and 2 hours does not fix.

Overall Review: I was looking for a gaming laptop on a budget. I found this gem and noticed that it compares to other gaming laptops in the $1500+ price range. So far I have not been disappointed. I will update the post as needed if I find any problems.

Great small footprint case!

Rosewill Micro ATX Mini Tower Computer Case - SRM-01
Rosewill Micro ATX Mini Tower Computer Case - SRM-01

Pros: Edges are finished/enameled (no cutting up your fingers). Finish is clean and stylish Fits full length graphics card Plenty of places for case fans/cooling.

Cons: CD Tray is not a flap and has to be removed, I did not plan on putting a CD drive in mine anyway so no biggie for me. On had 6 posts for mainboard, had to use some extra I had to make sure board was well seated.

Overall Review: Case is almost exactly what I wanted in a low footprint case for a mid-line gaming pc. Well built and polished. Would be 5 stars/eggs but the front face on mine was cracked on the edge when I got it. I don't wanna send it back because then I would have no case during the RMA so I will just have to live with it.

Great card!

GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER GAMING OC 12G Graphics Card, 3x WINDFORCE Fans, 12GB 192-bit GDDR6X, GV-N407SGAMING OC-12GD  Video Card
GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER GAMING OC 12G Graphics Card, 3x WINDFORCE Fans, 12GB 192-bit GDDR6X, GV-N407SGAMING OC-12GD  Video Card

Pros: - Well made with reinforced plates on the back of the card for heat dissipation and support. - Includes adaptor cable to convert two 8pin pci-e power cables to the new interface. - Noticeably faster & smoother than my old 3070 as well as my sons 7900GRE - Low noise fans. - 4yr warranty with registration

Cons: - Very large, make sure your case will take it. - Rear vent blows hot air up towards the CPU, though it has not seemed to impact my temps it is something I plan to continue to watch. - Bought two cards, one for me and one for wife. Only got one redeem code for the promo game.

Overall Review: I have ran Nvidia cards for the last 15 years or so and have always been very happy with the purchase. I recently attempted to go team red and picked up cards comparable in price/specs but ended up returning them due to poor performance. I am back to Nvidia thanks to Neweggs return policy and so much happier. I do run a range of games from Cyberpunk to Fallout to Two Point Hospital. I did however find that a very old game I play, Everquest does not run well on team red. The fps had extreme stutters especially in PoK or around more than a few other players. This was 100% fixed and improved when I went back to Nvidia and this card.

Great product/value!

GIGABYTE B550M AORUS PRO-P AM4 AMD B550 USB 3.0 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
GIGABYTE B550M AORUS PRO-P AM4 AMD B550 USB 3.0 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: - Great build quality/feel - Solid layout with memory being just far enough from CPU for a bulky heatsink - UEFI/BIOS is solid, with lots of OC options - Dual M.2 slot - No need for case backplate - Silkscreen labels for board connections are easy to read with standard light - No CPU firmware updates is a game changer

Cons: - Some BIOS settings like fan curve are slow to respond especially when using mouse - RGB App does not support CPU Temp color (really loved that on my old MSI board)

Overall Review: I replaced a B450 board that was unable to run PCIe 4 after getting a current gen video card. The new board (though more expensive than the 450 was when I bought it) is leaps and bounds better. My M.2 drive and video card both bench way better, as expected. Very happy with the build quality and layout. I have three other boards in computers in my home (MSI, ASRock, and Gigabyte) and Gigabyte is by far may favorite thus far. My config: Ryzen 5 3600 32GB G.Skill 3200 DDR4 EVGA Nvidia 3070 Graphics ADATA M.2 SSD Teamgroup SATA SSD Be Quiet Pure Rock 2 Air Cooler

Great MB!

GIGABYTE B550M AORUS PRO AM4 AMD B550 Micro-ATX Motherboard with Dual M.2, SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.2 Gen 2, PCIe 4.0
GIGABYTE B550M AORUS PRO AM4 AMD B550 Micro-ATX Motherboard with Dual M.2, SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.2 Gen 2, PCIe 4.0

Pros: -Nice look -Great Win 11 support after BIOS update. -CPUless BIOS update option.

Cons: Was very slow to post for my 5600G CPU until the newest BIOS update.

Overall Review: Quick and easy to setup, worked out of the box with a 5600G CPU. Reads G.Skill RipJaw memory at its proper 3200 speed (old 450 board did not). Polished/solid look, feels like a quality build.

Great monitor for value gaming!

MSI Optix MAG341CQ 34" UWQHD 3440 x 1440 2K 100Hz DisplayPort HDMI DVI AMD FreeSync Anti-Flicker UltraWide Anti-Glare Backlit LED Curved Gaming Monitor
MSI Optix MAG341CQ 34" UWQHD 3440 x 1440 2K 100Hz DisplayPort HDMI DVI AMD FreeSync Anti-Flicker UltraWide Anti-Glare Backlit LED Curved Gaming Monitor

Pros: Clean picture Low Ghosting Quality "feel"

Cons: OSD controls clunky PBP is almost worthless (does not fit screen) Extra $$$ for VESA mount and OEM version is out of stock everywhere Only three ports (DP/HDMI/DVI), no USB G-Sync does not work very well (not advertised supported)

Overall Review: I would recommend this monitor for a value gaming screen. Features and price are best in price range from what I could find. Do not get it if you are looking for a good PBP experience for work/productivity.

Slow but did the right thing.

I ordered a computer case from the seller and it had delivery issues. I contacted newegg and they had the seller ship a new one. Though the whole process took an annoying long 15 days the seller did make it right.
