Awesome card!

XFX Radeon HD 5870 (Cypress XT) 1GB DDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card HD-587X-ZNFV

Pros: Excellent card! Haven't checked core temps yet, but the air coming out the rear vent isn't very warm at all. Plays all my games butter smooth at 1920x1080 with highest AA options in each game. Haven't had a hickup yet. I've always used another brand of cards, and was a little hestitant to get the ATI due to "horrible drivers" as people put it, but I haven't had any problems at all.

Cons: None, yet. I suppose maybe it won't keep my apartment warm during the winter anymore?

Great PSU for the most part.

Pros: Plenty of power for almost any setup short of SLI/Crossfire, steady power. Made by Seasonic, so you know the quality is there for the long term.

Cons: SATA power connectors were not oriented correctly on the cable. The end connector and 2nd connector were flipped 180* from the proper orientation, making cable routing a pain. I ended up having to pull every connector off and re-orient them so that I could plug my hard drives in without jumping all around, rotating connectors and putting stress on the wiring.

Overall Review: Excellent power supply. Only giving it 4 eggs because of the SATA power connector orientation problem.
