Good Card for the Price

GIGABYTE GV-N770OC-2GD G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 770 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready WindForce 3X 450W Video Card

Pros: High powered card for the price. I bought it because of some benchmark vs price charts I looked at. I was not disappointed. Upgraded from a PNY GTX 660. Now I'm running Dayz on near max settings getting ~40-60 fps. The recommended settings for Watch Dogs is High and not Ultra for this card, but it still runs well. The cooling system seems to not run at 100%, but I might need to tweak it a bit

Cons: I haven't seen the cooling system run at 100% using NVIDIA system monitor, but I might need to tweak the settings some. This card gets hot. I've seen it get up to 70 degrees Celsius when playing Watch Dogs for an extended period of time. I even have 8 case fans at 1800 rpm.

Overall Review: I might need to invest in some liquid cooling to cope with the heat. This card runs large, so make sure your case has space.

Great Bass

Pros: Great price for great sound quality. I plugged these in and they worked automatically. They sounded great... then I downloaded the driver from their website and it sounds even better. They have customized equalizer settings and the bass is amazing. They have metal pieces as the connectors on the adjustable parts. Also, the microphone connector is a durable rubber that is adjustable and seems very hard to break. Oh yea, they also have a button that allows you to turn on the LED display, turn it on a flashing setting, or turning the LEDs off all together.

Cons: My friends have complained about the strength of the microphone in ventrilo and skype. I had to turn the boost on in my Windows settings.

Overall Review: Before this set I had a pair of Plantronics GameCom 780s that were 7.1 surround sound. These have much better sound quality and seem much more durable.
