Most Favorable Review

Incredible product for the money, build quality from Acer is phenominal

Acer Nitro 60 Gaming Desktop PC, Intel Core i7-14700F, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Graphics (1406 AI TOPS), 32GB DDR5 Memory, 2TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, Windows 11 Home, N60-640-UR25
Acer Nitro 60 Gaming Desktop PC, Intel Core i7-14700F, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Graphics (1406 AI TOPS), 32GB DDR5 Memory, 2TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, Windows 11 Home, N60-640-UR25

Pros: I can't find a single complaint with this purchase. At least in my case, this prebuilt was perfect. No screw loose. Great cable management. (Honestly better than what I would've done myself) Quality parts. (Kingston NVME, TForce Ram, Gigabyte Eagle 5070Ti) Product was fully updated and XMP was enabled by default and at the latest UEFI revision. Fan profiles are SILENT and preconfigured well. For the price I purchased it at on sale, I could not have done any better.

Cons: None whatsoever.

Overall Review: There's no reason not to purchase this based on my experience with the product. I could not be happier with the money I spent.

Most Critical Review

Great product, Terrible Packaging, Even worse Customer Service.

ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 Apex (WiFi 6E) LGA 1700(Intel®12th&13th Gen) ATX gaming motherboard (PCIe® 5.0, DDR5,24+0 power stages,DDR5,5x M.2,1xPCIe 5.0 M.2,USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 front-panel connector with Quick Charge 4+ Support)
ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 Apex (WiFi 6E) LGA 1700(Intel®12th&13th Gen) ATX gaming motherboard (PCIe® 5.0, DDR5,24+0 power stages,DDR5,5x M.2,1xPCIe 5.0 M.2,USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 front-panel connector with Quick Charge 4+ Support)

Pros: Product works great, Great product design. Phenominal support for z690

Cons: Board was damaged during shipping due to poor package design. Reset switch came off due to rubbing against inner cardboard. I imagine this will be a common issue with this board if it even remotely sees rough shipping. My DIMM.2 Drive also came damaged. I placed an RMA with asus and have not gotten it back in almost 2 months. I've been in contact with them since the very beginning and all they can tell me is that they received my product. I would not recommend using ASUS products due to their customer service solely. Asus, if you're reading this... Look into RMA USPCN24221 This is unacceptable treatment of customers that spent this kind of money on your top of the line products. I will never purchase another ASUS product again... it's literally come to me begging for ASUS to just return to me the borken product I sent them. Absolutely laughable but it's the reality for me and it's very well going to be for you if you consider this product or any ASUS product.

Overall Review: I would recommend this for any XOC person, just don't be unlucky and hope you receive a good product. Consider other options honestly, get a Kingpin or something from EVGA and know you're not going to be treated like I have been :(

Big Chungus!

MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 24GB GDDR6X PCI Express 4.0 Graphics Card RTX 4090 GAMING TRIO 24G
MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 24GB GDDR6X PCI Express 4.0 Graphics Card RTX 4090 GAMING TRIO 24G

Pros: Cool thermals, MSRP 4090! Overdesigned in many aspects! Very quiet, NO coil whine most other people are complaining of on my card!

Cons: Power phase VRMs are only 18+4 50A, sufficient by all means but I consider this a step down from the FE, good luck getting one though. TUF models offer 70A chokes but Some complain of the 3 prong adapter, I almost consider this a pro. The 4th is for redundant power anyways.

Overall Review: if you want a 4090 and you don't want to OC or just apply a light OC in afterburner this will be within 1% of the performance of a Strix costing you 450 less dollars.

Quite a phenominal monitor

MSI 28" 144Hz Rapid IPS UHD Rapid IPS Gaming Monitor G-Sync Compatible 95% DCI-P3 / 124% sRGB HDMI, DisplayPort, USB, Audio Optix MAG281URF
MSI 28" 144Hz Rapid IPS UHD Rapid IPS Gaming Monitor G-Sync Compatible 95% DCI-P3 / 124% sRGB HDMI, DisplayPort, USB, Audio Optix MAG281URF

Pros: Mine came without a single dead or stuck pixel. Innolux panel G-sync capable! Nice full bandwith ports compared to other models like the M28U. Color calibration from factory is quite nice!

Overall Review: I would recommend this to anybody looking in for a 4k 144hz innolux panel that offers G-sync compatibility at the lowest cost.

Hey, it's a 3080!

EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 12GB XC3 ULTRA GAMING, 12G-P5-4865-KL, 12GB GDDR6X, iCX3 Cooling, ARGB LED, Metal Backplate, LHR
EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 12GB XC3 ULTRA GAMING, 12G-P5-4865-KL, 12GB GDDR6X, iCX3 Cooling, ARGB LED, Metal Backplate, LHR

Pros: It's got 2 exra GB of dat sweet VRAM

Cons: Heat synch seems lackluster, expected a 5.5 slot cooler design for the 979 I spent on this GPU.

Overall Review: It's an upgrade from my 1070. I'm not sure if it was worth the money :)

Very Impressed

Audio Technica ATH-M50WH Professional Studio Monitor Headphones with Coiled Cable (White)
Audio Technica ATH-M50WH Professional Studio Monitor Headphones with Coiled Cable (White)

Pros: Durable construction of the unit itself Excellent sound quality, very flat, and crisp!

Cons: Not really a knock on the product but I ended up about 5 months into it I accidentally gave the cord a very good tug in my receiver (see other thoughts) and had to splice the wire and soler a new audio jack into it. Works beautifully still.

Overall Review: I own the ATH-M50SLE (Special Limited Edition) it's the same driver just ascetically different. Silver and blue without the coiled cord. Honestly, If I could go back and get basic black with the coil I'd do so in a heartbeat. I'm always detaining my cord I'm glad they gave me a huge amount of slack it's just not really suited for what I need.
