Most Favorable Review

Very Solid and underated.

MSI GeForce GTX 950 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support ATX Graphics Card GTX 950 GAMING 2G
MSI GeForce GTX 950 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support ATX Graphics Card GTX 950 GAMING 2G

Pros: I have had this card run at pretty much all the settings I threw at it and it is advertised as a MOBA card. This I found to underrate the card as it is a pretty decent powerhouse that I would put close to even the 960. Some SLI benchmarks have it running faster than the 970, but anything more than 1080p and that's when you can tell a big difference.

Cons: -This card only has 2gb which is a problem going forward with newer games that are starting to utilize more than 2gb at higher settings. -You cannot run 4k very efficiently on this card, its more for 1080p gaming.

Overall Review: -If you are looking for a pretty good budget card this is it. -Pretty solid card I recommend it to those on a budget. -2 way SLI is a decent choice but still its important to remember it only has 2gb of VRAM.

Good Card -but.....

ASRock STEEL LEGEND Radeon RX 7800 XT 16GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 x16 ATX Graphics Card RX7800XT SL 16GO
ASRock STEEL LEGEND Radeon RX 7800 XT 16GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 x16 ATX Graphics Card RX7800XT SL 16GO

Pros: - Very good card and does what I need it to do, the design looks clean and is pretty decent performing and build quality. -Runs everything at 1440P High and does a decent job.

Cons: -Here is where I take away eggs, the RGB software does not work at all, and is not recognized by any preferal syncing software brands like Corsair icue. -Looking to switch to MSI or ASUS after this one due to the horrid software or lack of being able to sync the built in RGB Software. Such a shame for a well designed card. Please switch to ARGB or RGB connectors to power your lighting if you cannot fix this obvious flaws.

Overall Review: Overall If you are trying to custom light your rig, steer clear of this card as it is has a lack of integration for its RGB lighting, if you are looking for just a well designed card without being able to use the so-called custom lighting on this card then its a good alternative to ASUS or MSI. At the end of the day you get what you pay for.

Awesome Board, But.....

ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Gaming AMD AM4 Zen 3 Ryzen 5000 & 3rd Gen Ryzen ATX Gaming Motherboard (PCIe 4.0, 2.5Gb LAN, BIOS Flashback, HDMI 2.1, Addressable Gen 2 RGB Header and Aura Sync)
ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Gaming AMD AM4 Zen 3 Ryzen 5000 & 3rd Gen Ryzen ATX Gaming Motherboard (PCIe 4.0, 2.5Gb LAN, BIOS Flashback, HDMI 2.1, Addressable Gen 2 RGB Header and Aura Sync)

Pros: The build and design of this board is among the best. The RGB headers, and the Thermal Shields for both NVME M.2 Slots are a nice addition. This board is pretty good, with one major drawback.

Cons: The major drawback to this board is the Intel I225-V onboard network chipset. Why ASUS went with this when the whole industry knows its flawed is beyond me. ASUS stop using intel for your onboard Networking.

Overall Review: Overall this board is awesome, but cannot reccommend it to anyone because of the onboard networking. Stay away from boards that have the Intel I225-V Networking Chip onboard.

Pros: Looks cool

Cons: Where do I start, thought it would be comfortable, however you get what you pay for. Chair is not comfortable and one of the legs broke off had to chnage to base to one of my broken chairs, do not recommend you buy this.

Overall Review: Overall this chair is cheap and not something made for long term.
