Excellent Card

EVGA 03G-P4-2883-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 780 Ti Superclocked 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card
EVGA 03G-P4-2883-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 780 Ti Superclocked 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card

Pros: I can play Battlefield 4 on Ultra with consistent 60 fps, as well as Crysis 3. I can run Modo, Maya, Zbrush and several other supporting programs flawlessly. High resource scenes in Maya are much easier to handle now.

Cons: I wish the onboard RAM was higher, but there are other cards that have this so it's not really a bad thing. Perhaps I just need to run Dual or Quad SLI, :)

Overall Review: In the future I have my eye on the Titan Z, 12 GB DDR5. But for now since I am just starting out freelance digital artist, this will do just fine until then.

Most Critical Review

Bought it on a whim

LG V10 Case, eForCity Stand Folio Flip Leather [Card Slot] Wallet Flap Pouch Case Cover for LG V10, Brown
LG V10 Case, eForCity Stand Folio Flip Leather [Card Slot] Wallet Flap Pouch Case Cover for LG V10, Brown

Pros: The material itself is pretty good.

Cons: It has a really floppy bend which doesn't offer any support when you are trying to use it in the tripod position (Phone would rock back and forth as you tried to find the sweet spot, the point of which your phone would actually stand up). Ultimately I used this for about 3 days before I gave up on it and tossed it into the garbage. Probably not the best thing you could buy for 10 dollars.

Overall Review: I really wouldn't recommend it unless you bought it in person and came to the conclusion that you liked it. It's alright overall. Just not really something I found to be useful.

This is the only model I buy, this and the 860.

SAMSUNG 850 EVO 2.5" 1TB SATA III 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-75E1T0B/AM

Pros: Samsung drives are fantastic. Using them for years without issue. Very fast for the price.

Cons: None that I know of.

Overall Review: I use these in my laptops, side PC's and main PC. Obviously opt for the 860 or the 970 NVME drives rather than the 850. But if you do it for the cost. The 850 is still a great thing.

Not the best quality, but you get what you pay for.

APC Back-UPS Connect 125 VA 75 Watts 3 Outlets UPS BGE70-CA (North America Version)
APC Back-UPS Connect 125 VA 75 Watts 3 Outlets UPS BGE70-CA (North America Version)

Pros: It works as it needs to.

Cons: I was worried the sockets were burning out. Weird electrical noises. But it hasn't burned down the house yet. So far so good.

Overall Review: It doesn't have a ground socket (you can figure this out from the photo). So it limits what you can plug in. Obviously get a very good ACTIVE UPS if you need something for an expensive computer or home entertainment system. You get what you pay for.

Works as advertised! GL553V Laptop screen replaced. Asus Strix Laptop

N156HHE-GA1 B156HAN04.2 N156HCE-GA2 Replacement Laptop Led Lcd Screen 15.6" 120 HZ FHD 1920x1080
N156HHE-GA1 B156HAN04.2 N156HCE-GA2 Replacement Laptop Led Lcd Screen 15.6" 120 HZ FHD 1920x1080

Pros: I saw a video with LinusTechTips and Discovered this was a suitable replacement for my 60Hz Screen.

Cons: A few dead pixels (expected). You lose the ability to use the keyboard shortcut for screen brightness (expected).

Overall Review: Be careful removing the original screen. It can be a bit confusing when you do this for the first time and I broke my original screen removing it. However this screen is fantastic and better in every way.
