Most Favorable Review

All of the power!

Intel Core i9-10850KA Comet Lake 10-Core 3.6 GHz LGA1200 125W Desktop Processor w/ Intel UHD Graphics 630 - Avenger Limited Edition (Game Not Included) - BX8070110850KA
Intel Core i9-10850KA Comet Lake 10-Core 3.6 GHz LGA1200 125W Desktop Processor w/ Intel UHD Graphics 630 - Avenger Limited Edition (Game Not Included) - BX8070110850KA

Pros: - 10 cores/ 20 threads - Overclocking not needed - Cheaper than a 10900k and provides 99% of the same power

Cons: - Power hungry, make sure you are running a good PSU, especially if you have a high end GPU - Needs high end cooling. Standard fans wont cut it, get an AIO or very high end air cooling to compensate.

Overall Review: Productivity increase is amazing. I moved from an 8700K and this CPU is easily giving me 100% more overhead to work with, so my work tasks and gaming have never been better!

Very Saddened

MSI GT Series - 17.3" - Intel Core i7-3630QM - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX - 16 GB DDR3 - 750GB HDD 128 GB SSD - Windows 8 - Gaming Laptop (GT70 0ND-491US )
MSI GT Series - 17.3" - Intel Core i7-3630QM - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX - 16 GB DDR3 - 750GB HDD 128 GB SSD - Windows 8 - Gaming Laptop (GT70 0ND-491US )

Pros: Definitely a powerhouse, but far less than what is expected.

Cons: GPU is advertised as 4Gb, but is actually just a 2Gb like the lesser model. When I finally received it, it was only reading 8Gb RAM, after inspection it turns out that the RAM sticks were chipped. SSD and such are nice, but make for a high price with minimal usage, and it took newegg 3 weeks to process this, and then another 9 days to ship it. I was charged after the 5th day after ordering, but still had to wait and wait.

Overall Review: Overall, it was a piece of junk. Returning it and ordering a better one for less on another retail site. I have always loved Newegg, but this order has killed it for me. Never again...

SWEET!

MSI GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card N460GTX Hawk Talon Attack

Pros: Only had it a little over a day, but i have to say, this thing makes my old 4670 look like a P1.... More than a little satisfied, this thing is absolutely amazing! I am currently running benchmarks in Crysis and better games without OCing anything at all, stable ABOVE 80FPS at all times, sometimes as high as 130-180. Staying cool also, havent seen anything above maybe 38C after 8 hrs of benching.

Cons: Not really a con, but i had to upgrade my PSU before i had the power for it, but sometimes power is worth the extra money!

Overall Review: Needs to also be packaged with a Sata 15pin to MOLEX 4pin Y, or maybe 2 of them since not all PSUs have 6pin PCI-e adapters
