great card

EVGA SuperClocked 01G-P4-2652-KR GeForce GTX 650 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card
EVGA SuperClocked 01G-P4-2652-KR GeForce GTX 650 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

Pros: about the best you can get for the price, its more or less an entry level/mid-range Gpu. with the low amperage and small size makes it much easier than larger more expensive cards. if you want to start getting into computer gaming this is the card for you. even though its "super-clocked" (and it is highly over-clocked) you ccan still over clock it some more!

Cons: the lack of ram and cuda cores means this card wont be furture proof. id probably give it a year, maybe 2 before its outdated.

Overall Review: games i played with relatively high settings-max settings: borderlands far cry 3 tomb raider 2013 fable 3 assasins creed 3 portal 2 mafia 2 and Elder scrolls V Skyrim (i only have a 2.7 Ghz dual core cpu, so its not exactly top of the line cpu helping out)

Pros: absolutely great price for the features! read my "other thoughts" for more info, as these are pros but are not on the web page for newegg.

Cons: the chip in the picture is not the one that the page is selling! it does have the features as advertised, just dont be surprised when you get a different wireless card

Overall Review: the card actually does 300 Mbps not 54 like the advert says. the card is slightly different, it only has 2 antennas not 3. (scared me not seeing the same card that was in the pictures) i did a little research though it is the one for the advertisement. also once ive gotten the chip up and running ill update this review. the card seemed like such a good deal, and because it uses mini pci-e i needed to buy an adapter for it.

awesome, totally worth it

MSI 990FXA-GD80 V2 AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: everything worked as stated and have had almost no issues. all issues are small and were not major issues booted up first time no issue software that it comes with is awesome lots of usbs the sata plus usb?! thats pretty cool and has helped alot plus the board SLI's ill report back when i get my second gtx 760

Cons: the issues i had were for me in the build i had was the power connector was a bit low on the board, wish it was a bit higher, no reason to dock an egg though, same with the next issue, usually having an L bracket for usb 3.0 is a bonus, yet again in MY case, as im sure this will not be a normal problem, i had clearance issues, and still no reason to dock an egg. the software previously mentioned is awesome when it works, problem being is this current update doesnt work. no worries the software is only a bonus and is not neccassary

Overall Review: like i said the only problems i had were not genuinely the boards fault and even though this software update the software continually crashes, it has worked before so i cant wait for it to work again using the board in a gaming build here be the specs: Cooler master CM storm Stryker thermaltake 850W PSU PNY GTX 760 PNY XLR8 4X4GB ram AMD FX-8320 CPU PS. the OC Genie doesnt seem to do much for me, its not that it doesnt work, i just dont see the performance increase. but it could just be me

sure

RAIDMAX Blackstone series RX-700AC 700W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.3 / EPS12V V2.91 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
RAIDMAX Blackstone series RX-700AC 700W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.3 / EPS12V V2.91 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: 700 watts of power for less than a hundred dollars i was sold.....

Cons: amperage is so low i dont know why there even is an sli option you cant support one GTX 660 on this thing because of the amperage, RMA'd

Overall Review: it wouldnt be so bad if you needed lots of wattage and your only using a 650(or radeon equivilant).
