HIS iCooler Radeon HD 7750 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 Graphics Card H775F1GD
HIS iCooler Radeon HD 7750 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 Graphics Card H775F1GD

Pros: For the first few months I've had this card it ran like a dream in my stock HP desktop. Will play pretty much any game on max graphics at decent FPS. Running BF3 at optimum graphics maxing at 139F.

Cons: About 2 months ago I built a new gaming rig with an AMD FX 6300 Vishera CPU, and an Asus M5A97 2.0 mobo. About a week after I got everything together the card started acting up. It wouldn't detect my monitor, or even turn on. I had to mess with it a bit to get it to work, take it out and put it back in.

Overall Review: I'm not even going to try to do an RMA seeing as most of the reviews for HIS say their customer service is horrible, and takes ages to get an RMA completed. I'll be switching to a Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 sometime soon. All I can say is I'll surely never be buying another HIS product.

G.SKILL Ares Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-2133C10Q-16GAB

Pros: Switch from 16 GB of Corsair Vengeance 1600 to this to use my TT Water 2.0 Extreme. No regrets, great speed, and great pricing.

Cons: 0

ASUS M5A97 R2.0 AM3+ AMD 970 + SB 950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
ASUS M5A97 R2.0 AM3+ AMD 970 + SB 950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: I chose this board for my very first high-powered gaming rig, and I'm well over satisfied with it. Runs very cool, fast USB 3.0 and don't get me started with the UEFI BIOS.

Cons: After about a week or two the PCI slots started to act up. I had my AMD Radeon 7700 in and when I'd boot up it wouldn't even detect my monitors. To get it to work I'd have to mess with it a little bit. Like pull it out and put it back in a few times.

Overall Review: I love the board, but the PCI slot problems are really aggravating me. I'm debating, and possibly going to switch to a new brand for a new motherboard.
