Awesome Card/RMA

Pros: Put in a new build, going from Sapphire 6870's in crossfire, this card out performed them at stock settings. I was able to play all my games at max/ultra settings @ 1920x1080. Got good benchmark scores and 80+ FPS on ingame benchs at max settings. I am quite happy with the performance of the card.
Cons: Not so much as a con as my card seems to have some issues. After trying many different solutions all to which were unable to fix my problem. My card in 2d 'mode' mainly desktop and in game videos that didn't require 3d processing my card 'glitched' quite a bit, causing artifacts and distortion and occasional screen flickering. I just hope this is an issue with this paticular card and not the model itself. And note that i was running the card at stock with no over clocking.
Overall Review: RMA'ing for a replacement. Having high hopes that the replacement will perform as expected, otherwise i highly recommend this card. Would have given 5 eggs, but the fact i have to RMA due to a fault in the card i had to give it 4. May review again when new one arrives and do initial testing.
Nice Keyboard, Lousy Operation

Pros: I wish i knew.
Cons: From day one it didn't work right. Software CD would not recognize this keyboard. Half the keys wouldn't respond when typing. The space bar would only work when it wanted. What a waste of $20. I am highly disappointed in this product. Probably not even worth sending back in.
Overall Review: Personally i would stay away from this board, i should have listened to the negative reviews with the issues this keyboard has had. They surely were not lying. It was a promising board and i liked the layout and the rubberized (a,s,d,w) and (up,down,left,right) keys.
Great PC for the Price

Pros: Well built PC, quality parts, fast M.2 nVME drive. Looks good and the LED fans are managed by a button on the case to change colors/functions. For the parts in the pc you'd pay well over the listed price of the complete gaming PC. Great routing of cables in back was able to add a HDD easily with the SATA cable without having to untie anything.
Cons: 16GB of RAM, i tried to find a matching pair based on the model of RAM that came with it, but i had no luck finding any direct matches, may have been made for this PC and probably the only NON-MSI part in the PC. I upgraded RAM to G.Skill 48GB kit, then another kit only because it was bothering me that I had 2 empty ram slots left.
Overall Review: I'd definitely recommend this PC at its listed price. Its a great build. It is a big Mid-Tower case so account for space when looking for a place to put it. Also loved it came in a carrying bag for the PC case in the box. Was a nice little benefit. I don't normally buy pre-builts but I was a little limited with time and I have no regrets with this purchase. It also came with a code for a Star Wars game, but i could have done without it all the same as the PC is a deal by itself.
Sapphire AMD Graphics Cards, Why I love them!

Pros: I've been purchasing Sapphire AMD graphcis cards for a long time and have had relatively no issues with them except one but the turn around for replacement was quick and easy and the support was helpful. They've all performed well and met my every need for fast high FPS gaming. From the 6000 series to the R9 290X cards. The R9 290X Tri has by far been my best experience as it plays everything i could possibly want at the highest settings without any stutter or slow down and makes every game look amazing. It stays nice and cool at idle and doesn't get too hot when playing even the most demanding game. You can't go wrong with this card and you can't go wrong with Sapphire!
Cons: none
Overall Review: none
Great RAM

Pros: Good solid ram, runs fast and affordable.
Cons: Had problems after a couple days of use. MB recognized it as 1333 out of package. Manually set to 1600. Ran fine for the first two days then i started getting a lot of memory related errors and application crashes. Went into BIOS and checked the timings and voltage, timings were set correctly but the voltage was wrong, raised from 1.25 to 1.55v and now they are running great.
Overall Review: Remember to check your memory settings after installing them, that may fix most of the problems some people have with this ram.
Fast, Reliable, Cool

Pros: - Fast Quad Core AMD Processor - Runs Cool I was a bit optimistic at first about getting this processor but after receiving it and setting it up i was not disappointed at all. It over clocks very well and stays cool. I have it OC'ed at 3.6Ghz running 27 degrees celcius at idle and barely even reaches 32 degrees celcius under load. I'm using the Scythe SCKTN-3000 92mm Sleeve "KATANA3" 3Heat Pipes CPU Cooler for my cooling device and it has not disappointed at all.
Cons: I have yet to come across a single one.
Overall Review: I may just have to purchase another to build a second system with.
