Pros: Why isn't this in your cart yet? Read my review and then add it, okay? This card can and will handle anything and everything you throw at it. When gaming it can boost up to 1201 MHz without a manual OC. With my OC, I have it at 1293 MHz and it never reaches above 65C. It run very quite, it looks beautiful and it's huge. Who wants a tiny card? Go big or go home. Here's some of my personal benchmarks. Note: All games were maxed out. WoW: 75-200 FPS on ultra in all parts of the world CoD Ghost: 55-80 FPS GTA 4 with no mods: 60-120 FPS GTA 4 with ENB graphics mod: 40-60 FPS BioShock Intinite: 100-200 FPS Minecraft: 342,134-244,432,534 FPS (joke)

Cons: Cons? With this card? LOL

Overall Review: When this card isn't being bottle-necked by the CPU, expect to see performance similar to a GTX 680 or even a GTX 770. There's no need to pay $100 more for the same performance with this card. One thing though, before installing the card, inspect it. I had to move the video cards fan cable away from one of the fans because it would have blocked it from spinning. <My rig> CPU: Intel Core i5 4670 (non K version) MoBo: MSI Z87 GD-65 GAMING Motherboard RAM: G.Skill Ripjaw 2x4GB 8GB dual channel, 1600MHz Video card: Gigabyte Windforce REV 2.0 GeForce GTX 760 2GB (SLI coming soon) Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 750GB SSD, no HDD.

Amazing

Pros: Great size, amazing style. Venting is amazing. My case is cold to the touch no matter what. And taking it apart is a breeze.

Cons: If you want to use a liquid cpu cooler, you will have to do a small rig for the back fan and radiator. Both will not fit together inside the case because of the HHD baYs. I had to mount my back fan from the outside. Also, if you have a lot of wires, hiding them behind the motherboard like most cases do will be a little challenging, it will be a tight fit.

Overall Review: I think it is very worth getting. It's very unique in style. It's something you don't see every day.
