Most Critical Review

Great Card Terrible Support

MSI Radeon RX 5600 XT 6GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 Graphics Card RX 5600 XT MECH OC
MSI Radeon RX 5600 XT 6GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 Graphics Card RX 5600 XT MECH OC

Pros: Card runs my games like a champ.

Cons: Responses from Support read like they were written by a Chimp.

Overall Review: MSI, I'm pretty sure you guys have the money to hire native language translators.

Not Bad

DIYPC DIY-G18-WD Black USB3.0 /Type C ATX Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case w/ Tempered Glass Side Panel and Walnut Wood Front Panel. 4 x 120mm PWM Fan Pre-Installed
DIYPC DIY-G18-WD Black USB3.0 /Type C ATX Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case w/ Tempered Glass Side Panel and Walnut Wood Front Panel. 4 x 120mm PWM Fan Pre-Installed

Pros: Case has many of the features of more expensive cases. The build quality is sound and no corners were cut in it's manufacture. Cable Management options are decent.

Cons: It is a basic case and some of the components feel cheap

Overall Review: Aside from the plastic front panel the case is very pleasant to work with. No sharp corners, plenty of room for cable management. That said I wouldn't turn any screw too hard. The thumb-screws are plastic pieces with normal screws in them. There are a few places where quality is cut but altogether it feels very solid and was a nice change of pace. I used this case to transplant the guts of my current computer into while I upgrade my main case.

Not of Interest to me.

AMD Gift - Godfall and World of Warcraft (Redemption Expiration Date 1/9/2021)
AMD Gift - Godfall and World of Warcraft (Redemption Expiration Date 1/9/2021)

Pros: IIRC WoW is DX9 so I guess it should run on just about anything? Godfall.... uhh has a cool name?

Cons: Both games look dumb. Boo.

Overall Review: These both require separate launchers and neither is Steam. Double Boo.

Was great when it worked.

GIGABYTE Radeon RX 580 8GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 ATX Graphics Card GV-RX580GAMING-8GD
GIGABYTE Radeon RX 580 8GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 ATX Graphics Card GV-RX580GAMING-8GD

Pros: It uhh ran video games while it worked.

Cons: I've had two gigabyte cards now. Both times because they had a good price or special. Both times they've died in less than two years. Ambient temps are usually around 22. Temp on gpu was around 50 after a few hours of intense gameplay.

Overall Review: Spend a bit more and go with a better brand.

Broke after 1yr and 11 months.

GIGABYTE Radeon R9 390 8GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 ATX Graphics Card GV-R939G1 GAMING-8GD

Pros: - Work okay for Fallout 4 - Fans were pretty quiet

Cons: - Broke while playing Stardew Valley - First time buying a Gigabyte video card, guess I know better next time.

Overall Review: - Would not recommend. Go with a company that has better customer service.
