Pros: very good upgrade for a pc with integrated graphics (although i would highly recommend the 8600gt over the 8500gt for the price difference). I got this card to throw in a lower end athlon system so my friends could play me in BF2 and other coop games, this card does run BF2 flawlessly! great card for a secondary LAN PC
Cons: nothing really, you know what you are getting in this price range
Pros: wow, what a fantastic monitor. If this uknown brand keeps products like this coming at this price, they will be the next samsung. Great monitor, no dead pixels, screen is so bright i had to turn the brightness down. Don't let the name fool you...BUY THIS NOW
Cons: umm.... it evokes jealousy from friends
Pros: this memory easily runs 2000mhz with no special steps taken. I am currently running 2000mhz with 1.6v (didn't try it on 1.5) and the memory may go higher with more tweaking. Do not let the few bad reviews sway you from this purchase, it was obviously the operators own error and not the memory's
Cons: beware that most mobos clock memory down to 1333mhz 1.5 by default, not the memorys fault. Be sure to set XMP in the BIOS
Overall Review: Also remember that to hit these speeds, you will need to overclock your CPU as well
