Great deal!

Forza Horizon 4: Standard Edition Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One and Windows [Digital Code]
Forza Horizon 4: Standard Edition Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One and Windows [Digital Code]

Overall Review: Grabbed 2 copies of this for me and my little niece. She loves Legos and cars, this was the perfect gift!!! Amazing graphics, runs better than Forza Horizon 3. Highly recommend the Lego Expansion. My niece's GTX 1050 ran this game great at 1080p and my GTX 1080 also ran it great at 4K.

Great budget RBG-LED strips for any PC enthusiast.

Pros: Brightness goes up pretty high. Color pallet is also great. Easy to install and set up as it connects through a molex connection.

Cons: The lighting modes and color pallets could be better. There aren't many colors to choose from other than what you see on the controller. Also you cannot get things like breathing on one color it seems. Each time I try it on either of the two kits I bought (for 2 PCs) they just cycle through all the colors while breathing.

Overall Review: It really makes your PC look amazing. If you are on a budget, get these. You get 2 strips of ~10"-11" magnetic LED strips as opposed to others that cost about twice as much and just give you one really long LED strip.

Got this card for my girlfriend's PC - She loves it!

ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1070 AMP! Edition, ZT-P10700C-10P, 8GB GDDR5 IceStorm Cooling, Metal Wraparound Carbon ExoArmor exterior, Ultra-wide 100mm Fans, Spectra Lighting, PowerBoost, FREEZE fan stop

Pros: It maxes out all her games at 1080p. Her PC has no problem running her heavily modded Skyrim game or other games she plays. From my initial time with it (I got the GTX 1080), it seems really good. Hooked it up to my TV and was surprised that it could handle 4K at around 30-40fps with max everything. Card is surprisingly cool. Saw temperatures of around 44-47 C while running Fallout 4 without any change to OC or fan speed.

Cons: Nothing! Had no problem installing or getting it to display, like my small issue with my 1080. Her 1070 was able to display through and old HDMI 1.0 cable while mine couldn't. Kinda weird.

Overall Review: For 1080p gaming, this card will eat any game you can throw at it with max everything.

Cooler looks amazing in person

Corsair Hydro Series H100i GTX Extreme Performance Water / Liquid CPU Cooler. 240mm (CW-9060021-WW)
Corsair Hydro Series H100i GTX Extreme Performance Water / Liquid CPU Cooler. 240mm (CW-9060021-WW)

Pros: The braided coolant tubes stand out so much. Currently my CPU is running at 40 C most of the time or lower.

Cons: Coolant hoses are pretty stiff. Be prepared to struggle to fit in a shallow case. Wasn't much of a problem for me in my NZXT S340, but it is pressing against the acrylic side panel.

Overall Review: This cooler is probably overkill for moderate overclocking. My CPU (Intel Core i5 4670k) never goes above 40 C even when OC a bit.

Using this to game on a Vizio D50u-D1

Pros: Runs all my games at 4K (3840x2160) max/ultra settings (highest possible settings) and maxes out my TV's 60Hz refresh rate at 60fps all the time. The perfect refresh rate for me and perfect fps target. Am so happy with purchase

Cons: Nothing so far. Only thing is that for some strange reason the card would not display through an old HDMI 1.0. I thought that HDMI 2.0b was backwards compatible with older gen HDMI. Problem was resolved with a "high-speed" HDMI cable. Though this could also be due to my TV, but it also would not display to another 1080p TV on that older HDMI cable where as my GTX 1070 would.

Overall Review: If you are looking to game comfortably at 4K with max settings I strongly recommend this card. I got this for $630 and I do not regret the purchase. Jumping from 1080p to 4K is night and day. Everything is so much more clear and detailed.

Amazing headphones

Corsair H2100 USB Connector Circumaural Dolby 7.1 Wireless Gaming Headset
Corsair H2100 USB Connector Circumaural Dolby 7.1 Wireless Gaming Headset

Pros: Battery life last a long time. Bought them yesterday and haven't charged them. Still no sign of the red LED light. I've probably used them for at least 6-8 hours. 7.1 Surround Sound is amazing! Makes music sound like it comes from all directions, makes games a lot more immersive. Plus you can create your own custom sound profiles! Comfort: These headphones are incredibly comfortable. I have some Beats Pro and Skull Candies which after a long period of time make my ears ache. These fit around my ear and the foam is very nice. The clamping force is perfect for me, not too tight like the Beats and not too loose like Skull Candies.

Cons: Build Quality: Although not as fancy as my Beats Pro, the leather stitching and color accents are nice. Power button feels a bit flimsy and cheap and over all construction is plastic. In the product images some parts look metallic but they're not.

Overall Review: Coming from regular headphones these sound amazing. At first I just used the dongle and headphones without Corsair's software. Turning on 7.1 surround sound makes these headphones sound incredible. Music sounds like its coming from all directions. I've tried listening to music on my Beats Pro and Skull Candies but these with 7.1 surround blow them away!
