Pros: I built a new computer this spring, with all new components. For hard drives I have one Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500gb for the OP system, one Samsung 860 QVO SSD 1 TB for my games and normal files, one Samsung 860 QVO 1 TB for all Backup files and pics. I centered the build around a MSi Mag Tornado, with a I7-9700 intel processor, with a Gigabyte GTX 1660-TI GPU. I put it all in a Rosewell Thor case. I have the system running at a speed of 4.7 with room for more speed if and when I need it. Just no need to up it right now. Love this computer and I got all my parts from Newegg, on sale.

Cons: No Cons with this build. I unlike a lot of others do not want to give up my DVD drives yet, so keep one BluRay Plextor burner, and will add one more Bluray Burner soon. I may add another Samsung 970 EVO plus 1 TB nvme later, when prices come down. I am not using anything but the Samsung SSD's.

Overall Review: I am a retired 76 Year old man soon to be 77, and feel this will take me for years to come if I make it as long as the computer.

Pros: Sound on Mobo quit. Ordered Sound Blaster audio card. I haven't used them in 10 years and wasn't sure I could get one. i did order it, and it was through a company in China. No problem, card came quickly, and I installed in just acouple mins. I did have to d/l the drivers from S/b website.. All went well and great sound.

Cons: No Cons. Card works great. Without the card I would probably of had to buy a new mobo.

Overall Review: If you have problems with your mobo sound, and have a spare pci slot, this card should work dandy for you. Just remember no cd with drivers come with card. The download only takes a few mins.
