Most Critical Review

8GB is not enough.

GIGABYTE Gaming OC GeForce RTX 3070 8GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 ATX Video Card GV-N3070GAMING OC-8GD (rev. 2.0) (LHR)

Pros: Better than the 980 TI

Cons: Worse than the 980 TI Has temperature issues Low VRAM

Overall Review: 8GB of VRAM is nowhere near enough for todays standard, making the 12/8/10GB lineup totally insane. Go for a 3080 or just don't bother with this generation, its very stupid. Unironically I wish I had my 980 TI still, that thing was so solid and its performance issues can at least be blamed on age, not poor design.

This one did it, I am done with INTEL

Intel Core i7-13700K - Core i7 13th Gen Raptor Lake 16-Core (8P+8E) P-core Base Frequency: 3.4 GHz E-core Base Frequency: 2.5 GHz LGA 1700 125W Intel UHD Graphics 770 Desktop CPU Processor - BX8071513700K

Pros: Better than 6700k

Cons: Worse than 6700k in practice Temperatures are extremely high and I can't keep it from hitting 100C Had to replace it due to the issues INTEL had with the 13th and 14th Gen i7s

Overall Review: I will be going AMD from now on, or whatever other competitor comes around. This CPU has been an issue from the money I got it. I cannot recommend it, you don't even need this processing power in general. Just go with AMDs x3d series or a prior generation that has passed the test of time.

Didn't even last 6 months

Pros: Long battery life Comfortable size

Cons: 6 months later one of the speakers is already dead Horrid audio quality that took hours of messing around with EquilizerAPO and trying other peoples settings to make it sound decent

Overall Review: I'd give it a 4 if it lasted a while however with the speaker on the right side giving out already with very careful use (I never drop my headphones or bang them or anything), this headset is not worth your money. Especially with the audio quality being quite bad without tinkering, but it was pretty good if you can get settings you like. If your deadset on this headset, get the warranty because these are apparently not made to last.

Terrible Terrible Airflow

Pros: Looks really good

Cons: Gunk gets into all of the nooks and crannies (theres a lot of them too) Airflow is horrible, PC runs very hot all the time.

Overall Review: This review is quite late (6 years) but its been a long time coming. I'd have replaced it if I didnt accidently strip a screw on the motherboard. I would recommend liquid cooling if you go for this because the top fan on the left side will likely be in the way of any traditional CPU Heatsink you use, good bye one potential fan.
