All you need for 1080p single monitor gaming

XFX Radeon HD 6950 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card HD-695X-ZNFC
XFX Radeon HD 6950 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card HD-695X-ZNFC

Pros: Good price/performance Smaller than reference cards for folks with smaller cases. Good cooling. Runs everything @1080p maxed. Crysis, BBC2, Oblivion, this card runs em max 30+fps.

Cons: Honestly, none so far. I would be the 1st to complain if it was warranted.

Overall Review: I did 2 months of research before I decided on this. I will tell you right now, if you are running a 1 monitor setup @1080p, you do not need the 2GB version, a 6970, or crossfire (maybe unless you have a weak cpu, I'm running this on an Asus evo w/ PII x4 3.4 cpu and 8 gig corsair vengence 1600mhz ram). Don't waste money on the 2GB version for single monitor @ 1080p, you really don't need it.

Most Critical Review

Scroll Wheel Broke in 2 Weeks

GIGABYTE GM-M6880 Metal Black 1 x Wheel USB Wired Laser Gaming Mouse
GIGABYTE GM-M6880 Metal Black 1 x Wheel USB Wired Laser Gaming Mouse

Pros: Cheap price Comfortable-Nice size/feel Dpi switch Good side button placement Legit cheap gaming mouse Doesn't feel too cheaply built

Cons: Middle scroll wheel quit working after about 2 weeks of moderate use.

Overall Review: If the mouse wheel didn't fail on me, I would have given this 5 eggs. I was going to RMA but for what I paid its not worth it, so I guess I'm out $20. Almost considering trying another one, but another reviewer said his quit too...its a shame really, its a nice mouse. For the price its a steal. I think I'll try another brand.

Solid Monitor

LG W2253VP-PF Glossy Black 21.5" 5ms Full HD HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 70000:1(1000:1)
LG W2253VP-PF Glossy Black 21.5" 5ms Full HD HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 70000:1(1000:1)

Pros: Cheap! Awesome price vs perfomance Decent menu setup No dead pixels No ghosting for gaming

Cons: Wish it was a little bigger (I knew the size before buying, not really a con) Menu buttons are touch, sometimes I have to press them 2-3 times to get it to register, not a deal breaker though (still better than the horrid Asus menu layout, great monitors bad menus) Could be a bit brighter. Its not bad, but I liked the brightness on my Asus better

Overall Review: Was going to purchase another 23.5" asus instead, but I got this for $140 shipped. Was worried about the 5ms response time and gaming, but have 0 ghosting with this monitor. Solid monitor, if you can get it cheap buy it.

Too cheap

I-ROCKS KR-6820E-BK Black 104 Key USB Wired illuminated Backlit Gaming Keyboard (Orange LED)
I-ROCKS KR-6820E-BK Black 104 Key USB Wired illuminated Backlit Gaming Keyboard (Orange LED)

Pros: Back-lit

Cons: Keys don't feel right. "w" key takes quite a bit of force to register, more than other keys do, which will bother you if your a gamer. Feels really cheap. Back-lighting is ok but it even looks cheap, like the some parts of the letters are not cut right and it doesn't bleed through well. Smaller than I expected (I knew it was smaller , but it is really too small. If you have larger hands than an average woman's hands, I doubt you will like it.

Overall Review: I wanted to really like this keyboard. I know you get what you pay for, but this was $30. Save up an extra $20 and get something better quality. Very disappointed in the keyboard, expected a bit more for $30. Stinks I have to pay for shipping to RMA this.
