GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 3070 MASTER 8GB Video Card, GV-N3070AORUS M-8GD
GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 3070 MASTER 8GB Video Card, GV-N3070AORUS M-8GD

Pros: - Exceptional cooling - Aesthetic - LCD really isn't necessary, but a nice touch - Feels well built - Fits fine in Micro ATX case

Cons: Size could be issue for smaller cases A little more expensive

Overall Review: Grabbed one of these in a combo deal. Honestly was eyeing the Asus cards and hadn't even seen this card but I threw it in the cart in an excited panic when it was available. No regrets at all. Is on the more expensive side of these cards but feels super well built and have only seen the temps exceed 60C once so far. Runs all the games I want to play flawlessly. This card definitely finished off my new build perfectly.

Absolute steal on black friday

ASUS Desktop PC G10AC-US011S Intel Core i7-4770 8GB DDR3 1TB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 Windows 8

Pros: Great Price Impossible to build this yourself for $900 GTX 760 3GB Sleek Design Plenty of room for customization and upgrade Processor cooling system with fan (not liquid though) Asus H87-M Pro Motherboard i7 4770

Cons: Windows 8? - I don't mind it though

Overall Review: I really wasn't sure how I felt about the Windows 8 at first, but after a while of fiddling I can say I like it. I got this machine because I'm a designer and I needed something with some power (I plan to add in the other 24gb of ram). When I saw this for $900 basically I had to get it because it was $300-400 cheaper than building my own with the same parts. It doesn't list the motherboard on this site so I'll do that, as well as the ram:Motherboard - H87M-Pro Ram- A-data 8gb 1600mhz 12800. I think that's important to note as it has a pretty solid motherboard. My only personal complaints are that it came with a huge purple "Upgrade to windows 8.1" sticker that was a pain to get off (hope you have some GooGone) and the fan on my power supply must have a bad bearing because it's sorta loud. Also, there's not a ton of openings or spots for fans, but I don't have any heat issues so far. The other two fans are basically silent. This game runs starcraft 2 without strain as I'm typically around 100+ fps on highest settings give or take 30. Would've been nice if it was Wi-Fi but I got a wireless usb for around $35 that seems to work just fine. Other than that this thing is a great machine, even for the normal $1200 price. The GPU is also 3D ready so if you want to take that route make sure you get a Nvidia 3D - ready monitor and glasses. I plan to upgrade this machine quite a bit after a while so it was a great place to start.
