Almost 5 years and still trucking

Antec EarthWatts EA750 750W Continuous Power ATX12V version 2.3 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC "compatible with Core i7/Core i5" Power Supply
Antec EarthWatts EA750 750W Continuous Power ATX12V version 2.3 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC "compatible with Core i7/Core i5" Power Supply

Pros: I bought this power supply back in 2011 and I just realized that I forgot to leave a comment about it. If you can find this supply anywhere, I would highly, painfully recommend it. I bought it as a replacement to a really poor quality 450w supply that came with a pre-built system that I had bought from Dell and it's held on strong through countless upgrades and a slightly bent in fan due to an accident on my part. Literally one of the best supplies that I've ever had.

Cons: Not modular, so you'll have to be sure that you have some decent cable management in your case so that things aren't floating everywhere (yay twisty ties!).

Good for the price paid

EVGA 01G-P3-1380-KR GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) SSC+ 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: > An amazing card for the price that I paid for it. I HUGE upgrade from the 9800GT > For the time that it was healthy it stayed strong and performed very, very well under pressure. And it kept up with my older parts very nicely (4GB of DDR2 and a 2.4ghz cpu) > I always try and recommend the strength and durability of EVGA

Cons: > The card seriously starts to show its age after about a year and a half. It's been giving constant VGA errors and drive-crashing. I have to look into an upgrade now (which is about standard is the card is sitting at about two years old now) to replace it, but that's fine

Overall Review: > This really was a great card for the price that I had paid for it (roughly 80 bucks or so) and I will always recommend EVGA as a brand. They make parts that have a decent life span and work fantastically under pressure.
