Good cheap board
Pros: Price was super cheap for a wifi board. I snagged it for 89 bucks
Cons: No USB-C header
Overall Review: Great MOBO for the price. Looks slick, has WI-FI. Seems sturdy enough. Just be sure to use the SSD standoff that comes with it. I installed my SSD without it initially and it the SSD started bending (oops). All good after screwing in the little standoff and reinstalling. No problems with BIOS. Didnt need to flash it using an i5-12400f.
Just Buy It
Pros: Insane Price to Performance. Quiet. Looks beautiful. Feels premium. Keeps up with my 9060xt 16gb.
Cons: NONE. Reallynone.
Overall Review: Bought for my wifes new rig and was expecting 30% less performance than my 9060xt 16gb. Comparing Marvel Rivals at 1440p ultra settings with FSR3 Ultra Quality, but cards get the exact same FPS. Same visual quality. Its a beast of a card for the price and I regret not getting it for my own rig. Could have saved myself 140ish bucks. (389 vs 243 on sale). Cannot believe the performance my wife is getting for the price. Pairs excellent with an Intel i5 12400f. I will say, the Asrock ARGB software for the lights on this GPU is quite possibly the worst software of any sort Ive ever used. Crashes 100 percent of the time unless you keep the effect on static mode. It looks the best, so its not enough to really count off on the card itself. 100 percent recommend to someone getting into PC gaming at 1440p and arent FPS or latency weirdos. It offers an excellent 1440p experience if youre okay with upscaling and frame generation - both of which are of excellent quality and feel better turned on in my opinion.
Good deal
Pros: Price to performance
Cons: Older generation
Overall Review: Super great pairing with an Intel ARC B580. Absolutely no overhead issues. Marvel Rivals gets 90-100 FPS on ultra settings at 1440p. Could not be happier with a CPU just over 100 bucks.
Pleasure to build in
Pros: Small footprint, but lots of vertical space. Good quality (except the top panel which feels a little scary to take off.) Nice fine dust filters. Mostly metal except that top panel.
Cons: It was a significantly larger than expected give its marketed as microATX. But it still has a pretty small footprint in vertical orientation. Airflow was a bit confusing. I decided to keep the top and AIO as exhaust and just use the bottom fan as intake. Temps on GPU and CPU are just fine, so no biggie.
Overall Review: Bought for my wife and it was such a breeze to build in. Plenty of space. Amazing cable management. The only downside is the lack of rear IO access without taking off the top panel which is plastic. Im scared itll break every time I pull it off. Will 100 percent recommend for first time builders. Dont let the vertical orientation scare you. It was 10x easier to build in than my Jonsbo D32 Pro (still a good case).
Good for the price
Pros: Cheap
Cons: Fall out easily / sound quality is just ok
Overall Review: Would recommend for budget shoppers. I would not recommend for active use. If you bend down, they will likely fall out. I nearly lost them in the yard. However, they are really good especially for the sale price of 15 buck.
Excellent value
Pros: I got no dead pixels upon arrival. The quality seems good. Shipping was fast. I have no complaints. Seems like a really good deal for a curved 1440p 240hz monitor.
Cons: No cons so far.
Overall Review: Good value for the money. I checked the Acer website and this monitor is 549, so its not quite 50% off as advertised, but its still a great deal
