EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX+ 1GB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 01G-P3-N880-AR
EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX+ 1GB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 01G-P3-N880-AR

Pros: Received my card yesterday and it absolutely destroys the frame rates that my 7800 was putting out. I am extremely happy with the purchase. EVGA gives you a nice little program that is on the drivers CD, called EVGA Precision and allows you to overclock your video card using this software. I HIGHLY suggest you do not use nTune as I had issues with it and had to uninstall it and reinstall my video drivers. I proceeded to try this program and I love it, it is so simple, just slide the bar up or down and your good to go. I managed to squeeze a 10% OC out of the card on all settings. 810mhz Core Clock, 2015mhz Shader, 2200mhz Memory. I turned the auto fan option off and turned the fan on the card up to 60 and right now, it is running at 36 degrees celcius and hasn't peaked over 47 degrees celcius. The fan blows quite a bit of air right out of the case.

Cons: None that I can think of.

Overall Review: The card isn't 10 1/4" its actually 9 1/2" long. I'm not sure if previous versions of the card are longer but the one I was shipped is only 9 1/2". One other thing, I love EVGA, great customer support if you need it and the Lifetime Warranty on their video cards = awesome!

Beat expectations

Pros: The connectivity on the board is more then enough for me. Plenty of USB and USBC, and BIOS updates have been a breeze

Cons: On board USBC header is not straight up, but pointing out to the side, which made it useless for my case without me cutting on the case. Just a heads up to check for this when buying a case, I did not, as I went with a smaller ATX case because of space constraints and I don't regret the case, more so I wished I had checked known compatibility issues with cases.

Overall Review: Super happy with the motherboard, I've played with settings and kept the BIOS updated, and my 9800X3D runs about 72c at load. I've had it a year now, and I don't see the need to upgrade to an X870 board yet, as I still have plenty of drive space available.

Amazing Quality!

Overall Review: The quality of this little case, blew my mind. It is so soft, and feature packed. The zippers are YKK and water sealed, so you can carry this without worry of rain or shine. The inside is super soft to the touch and just perfect for any Nintendo Switch owner!

Pros: Works just as advertised, allowed me to simply hookup to my laptop, make a backup of my installed SSD and replace it with the copy. Works for hard drives too, just have to be careful and work on a static free area!

Cons: None, was simply plug and play.

Great Router

NETGEAR WNDR3700-100NAS V.5 Wireless Gigabit Open Source Router/ USB port Rangemax 2.4/5 GHz Simultaneous N600 Dual Band IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n, IEEE 802.3/3u/3ab

Pros: Amazing router, far better then my old out dated router. In a speedtest I was only getting 8mbps with my old router and I pay for 55mbps, with this router I get full 55mbps and I have had no slow down or worry about bandwidth being too low like I did with the old one.

Cons: I still have a few dead spots in my home, meaning I'll have to buy a repeater. Looses an egg for this, as my home isn't fairly large.

Overall Review: I would recommend this to anyone that needs a router. I was looking at a $200 router, but this caught my eye and has a lot of the same features as what I was looking at.

Amazing case!

NZXT SWITCH 810 Matte Black CA-SW810-M1 Steel / Plastic ATX HYBRID Full Tower Gaming Computer Case
NZXT SWITCH 810 Matte Black CA-SW810-M1 Steel / Plastic ATX HYBRID Full Tower Gaming Computer Case

Pros: Large - Plenty of room to work in Cable Management - Plenty of routing space for cables Light - I was expecting the case to be really heavy for a Full Tower, but it wasn't as heavy as I thought Filters - Such a win! I've had other cases in this price point and they didn't include any fan filters at all, requiring a separate purchase Water Cooling - Plenty of options for water cooling, and with the new Kraken G10 this case has enough room to put 3 AIO water coolers in to cool 2 video cards and the cpu Window - Nice big window if you like that kind of thing. Plan on putting LED fans in the system or an LED light setup. Stealth Drive Bay! - Something that isn't covered anywhere that I have seen, is the top optical drive cover actually doubles as a stealth drive cover so it doesn't clash with the color of the case!

Cons: None that I can think of.

Overall Review: I bought this case because it was on sale to preempt a system build I plan on doing in a couple of months. The one reason I bought it was for water cooling, I wanted to delve into starting with an AIO water cooler like the H100i or some other cooler and then later down the road do a custom loop. Looking forward to working with this case, really pleased with the matte black look.
