Awesome Processor
Pros: Very very fast. Games as well as the hype says it does. Also excellent for work stations. Very good Silicon, Easy to overclock with a good Air or AIO cooler, just expect power consumption to go up noticeably with the higher clocks. This Processor should be paired with at least a good mid range Motherboard for it's full potential.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Very Happy with my Purchase. If your a Hardcore gamer & do streaming Etc, then you will be very pleased with this processor.
Good Card for the Money
Pros: Great Card for the money. Plays Most games on high
Cons: Extremely Buggy Drivers & they get worse with each Update. Would have rated 5 stars if it wasn't for that. Be prepared for Stuttering, Black Screens & annoying 60mhz Flickering.
Excellent Higher End Mid Gaming Card
Pros: Powerful Card. Can Run most AAA Games on High & some Ultra. As Always EVGA is a very High Quality heavy well made card. I Have used EVGA Graphics cards Exclusively Since the TNT2 card nearly 20 years ago. In all this time I have never had a faulty card. I still have a 9800 GT Paired with a Q6600 in a rig I built in 2008 for GTA IV. The card is still going strong. Would highly recommend this card if you cannot afford a higher end one. It gets the job done and it does it well.
Cons: In some heavy game areas it is a Bottleneck, while my i9 9900k is only using 50 - 60 % of it's resources waiting for the GPU to catch up, but not a deal breaker. I cannot afford a 2080 so I compromised & got the 1660 TI and to be honest it is a great card & I have no regrets buying it.
Overall Review: If this card is in your price range do not hesitate to buy. Overall very nice card.
Great case for the price
Pros: Has a 5.25 External Drive Bay. Hard Drive caddy works very well. Comes with 2 120 mm Fans. Plenty of room for High Profile Air Coolers and Long Graphics cards. Quiet like it is supposed to be. Comes with velcro cable ties & zip Ties & assorted screws for Motherboard & Drives Etc.
Cons: Would have liked this exact case with a glass panel side option. No Drive activity light. Rear Slot covers are breakaway & cause some distortion removing them
Overall Review: All in all for the money it is a good case, although I would not purchase another one.
Nice SSD Drive
Pros: Fast Drive. I put this in my Wifes computer as she doesn't need anymore than 240 gigs. Windows 10 installed with no problems & Bios found it right away. Purchased on sale for roughly 10 cents a Gigabyte, what a wonderful Technological time we live in. I have been building computers for nearly 30 years. Back in the day a dollar a Megabyte was considered a good price.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: I will be buying another one for a secondary drive on my computer.
Good Quality Ram
Pros: Looks nice. Worked right away and seems very stable. Would only run @ 2133 Mhz but then again it is not on the Gigabyte Aorus Pro Motherboard support list so I cannot blame the Ram. As soon as I went into Bios And chose XMP Profile it runs @ 2666 with no crashes.
Cons: None, It was on Sale and for the money you can't go Wrong.
Overall Review: I will be buying another pair of this ram to give myself 32 gigs. For the price I recommend it. Good quality Ram much better than the Plain OEM stuff.
