Really Great Card for the Price

ASUS GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card GTX650TIB-DC2OC-2GD5
ASUS GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card GTX650TIB-DC2OC-2GD5

Pros: This card can run pretty much any game on high to ultra aka Battlefield 4,Crysis 3,COD Ghost and Batman Arkham Origins, I was replacing 2 Slied Gtx 460s that went out on me out of no where and i have to say this card is 10 times better, it's more quiet and cooler. I haven't used the Asus Gpu tweaker yet but when i have to from what i seen after installing it, it'd be easier to get more power out of the card. Also i was scared buying this card looking at it in the screenshots and even getting the box made me think it wasn't gonna fit in my case but when i got it out of the box it was smaller then 1 of my gtx 460s and they only have 1 fan on them. Last Pro this card only uses a 450watt PSU i was in the market for buying a 700 series card but finding out they need way higher Power supplies i said screw it and went for a 600 series TI card and this was well worth it.

Cons: I haven't seen any and i don't think i will. Um i'm not sure if it's just my card or not but i don't hear the fans (which is awesome) on it but when i run a game like BF4 or something that needs a lot of power to run the GPU fans make a werid noise like something is hitting the fans but not effecting it in anyway more like when you take a piece of paper to a high speed fan and it makes that kind of noise. That 75 dollar ingame card is worthless to me and should of been replaced with a video game worth 59.99 and not ingame content on 3 games i don't even play.

Overall Review: I bought this card for 149.99 and 1 day after it went up 20 dollars or 30ish that's with tax. which isn't a big deal for me but funny how they just do things Still really hate that Nivida geforce game card worth 75 dollars.....

Most Critical Review

DOA

ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 AM3+ AMD 760G + SB710 USB 3.0 HDMI uATX AMD Motherboard
ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 AM3+ AMD 760G + SB710 USB 3.0 HDMI uATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: The price was real nice and i think that's what drew me to it along with free shipping cause i have a micro atx only case and this was the only one i could find with 4 ram slots that was mirco atx

Cons: I installed this board in as soon as i got it with the FX-8320 Eight-Core and i hooked it up and put it in my case and the green light on the motherboard lit up so i put the case side back on and plugged back in my psu and it wouldn't start. I tried many many things to try and fix it and even came back here to read the bad reviews on how it wouldn't start and remove the jumper and put it back in .....ect and nothing worked, so i took it all apart and put it on a wood table and thought it was my ram so i removed all 4 sticks and tried one at a time in different slots and nothing worked so i tried other ram i had and nothing. I also tried other Atx power supplies in this mobo and nothing, now i gotta take out my newly bought CPU and return this mobo and get my money back and get the ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 AM3+ AMD 970 + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS and a new case here on newegg. i'm really disappointed that this didn't work out of the box for me as i am a 3d artist and animator and needed something that would be cheap and work with this 8 core i had and it didn't work and i need a computer to do my work. Plus i really hate installing after market thermal paste as it is the only thing i feel i'll ever screw up on building my pc's so that is why i only use the cpu cooler that comes with the CPU, so this is gonna be a pain for me to take off clean and buy thermalpaste and then reapply it. So thank you ASUS for screwing up this motherboard.

Overall Review: So what else can i say about this well don't buy this without reading the bad reviews there seems to be way to many people saying it's DOA and they are very true,i love asus stuff my harddrives,blu ray drive and video card are all asus so is my monitors but when it came to this i was really really disappointed so i'm glad i found this out while i was still in the 30 day window for return. O and never ever buy something that is for this low of price without first reading the 1 egg reviews there is way to many on this board not to be skeptical about it.
