Freaking beast

EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER BLACK GAMING, 08G-P4-3071-KR, 8GB GDDR6
EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER BLACK GAMING, 08G-P4-3071-KR, 8GB GDDR6

Pros: Hits 144fps on 1080p in darn-near every game out. Stays pretty cool and is extremely quiet. EVGA delivers as always. When paired with the i9 9900k this card will last for years.

Cons: No VGA plug... wth. It's like I'm the only one playing BF5 with a Cathode Ray Tube...

Overall Review: Absolute beast! At the time of this review it's more available than the 5700xt, which is a better value. If you can afford this one, you won't regret buying it.

Makes the fans go around and around

Pros: When you hit the power button, your computer will turn on. It will stay on.

Cons: Heavier than an SSD

Overall Review: I recommend this product. Also, I'm a vegan

As simple as enabling XMP

G.SKILL Sniper X Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C19D-32GSXKB
G.SKILL Sniper X Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C19D-32GSXKB

Pros: Good stuff here. Inexpensive and works as advertised. Ensure your setup supports XMP if you expect 3600mhz out of it

Cons: None

Overall Review: Recommended for the budget-restricted gamer or system builder

7.5k fps in Solitaire

Intel Core i9 9th Gen - Core i9-9900K Coffee Lake 8-Core, 16-Thread, 3.6 GHz (5.0 GHz Turbo) LGA 1151 (300 Series) 95W BX80684I99900K Desktop Processor Intel UHD Graphics 630
Intel Core i9 9th Gen - Core i9-9900K Coffee Lake 8-Core, 16-Thread, 3.6 GHz (5.0 GHz Turbo) LGA 1151 (300 Series) 95W BX80684I99900K Desktop Processor Intel UHD Graphics 630

Pros: Absolutely amazing. I upgraded from a Cyrix 6x86 and went from 3fps in Solitaire to now pushing over 7.5k fps. Crushing online co-op.

Cons: Had to get a new Motherboard, Memory, video card, etc. Socket 3 is old evidently and they don't make the 2070 Super in MCA or even AGP for that matter, so expect to buy all new components.

Overall Review: Would recommend to others. Seriously, it's as good as the specs indicate. All I do is game so it's overkill, but it's a good investment. Stays cool (55c) with a 240mm closed loop and positive air pressure

Exactly as expected

Noctua NF-F12 iPPC 3000 PWM, Heavy Duty Cooling Fan, 4-Pin, 3000 RPM (120mm, Black)
Noctua NF-F12 iPPC 3000 PWM, Heavy Duty Cooling Fan, 4-Pin, 3000 RPM (120mm, Black)

Pros: Extremely powerful. I placed it on my Zalman LQ-315 (from newegg) and it dropped the temperatures from low 70s to mid 50s on my Core i7 4790k. No overclocking or anything fancy. Please note this drop occurred when I set the fan to Max RPM.

Cons: As can be expected from a 120mm fan moving at 3000RPM, it's extremely loud at max settings. It almost made be believe my full ATX was about to take flight. It will drown out your games when set to max RPM.

Overall Review: Amazing fan. Better color scheme than the standard Noctuas

Best card for the price!

PowerColor TurboDuo Radeon R9 280 3GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support Video Card AXR9 280 3GBD5-T2DHE/OC
PowerColor TurboDuo Radeon R9 280 3GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support Video Card AXR9 280 3GBD5-T2DHE/OC

Pros: I bought this card for half of what it's going for now after rebate (Powercolor rebate process is very easy) and I can't imagine a better deal. Maxes out BF4 and Titanfall on 3-way Eyefinity without a problem and maintains between 40 and 45 degrees on stock settings. Haven't tried any overclocking yet. Well-built and pretty quiet. IDK why so many people are complaining about "coil whine." My case doesn't even have a side panel and I don't notice any excessive noise.

Cons: Initially I had massive frame rate drops in BF4. Temperature was stable at 45 degrees or so, so I updated the drivers and have had no problems since. Had to get a new power supply to power this card. That's the price one pays to feed these high-end cards!

Overall Review: I've owned Powercolor since the HD2600XT and have never been disappointed. As mentioned before, Newegg and Powercolor are awesome when it comes to rebates. Hassle free and clearly outlined process.
