BFG Tech GeForce GTX 260 896MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card BFGEGTX260896OCE
BFG Tech GeForce GTX 260 896MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card BFGEGTX260896OCE

Pros: Runs every game I play at highest settings. The noise level is very minimal. This card does exactly what it is supposed to for the price point. I get a rebate making the card about 150.00 which is about what its worth.

Cons: The only con I have with this card and it really isn't a con is the power consumption and the size. I have a full size tower so no biggie but this card is HUGE. I had to purchase a new PSU to run the card. Glad I did though Corasir 650 W is great.

Overall Review: I knew what this card was when I purchased it and it is a OC card. It is a 192 version that is OC, nothing misleading about that. Look at the numbers, it's pretty clear what you are getting.

Mic

Pros: I really like the sound I get with the headphones and enjoy the bass tremble with it. They are a good fit for me and are comfortable even after 3 hours.

Cons: The mic only worked 1 time and has made this headset a doorstop. It seems that the mic malfunctioning is common. For the price that is unacceptable.

Overall Review: If you dont need a mic then I guess its ok. But I race online in iracing and a mic is manadtory for me.

G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-8500CL5D-4GBPI-B

Pros: Dropped them into my GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L and booted with no issues or having to tweak. No Complaints, works as advertised.

Cons: Not a con toward the ram itself but Newegg has gotten really slow with their shipping. Do not use free shipping if you need it anytime soon.

Overall Review: Considering ordering another set to max out my board.
