Perfect CPU for Gaming
Pros: Run mine OC'd at 4.2Ghz. With an aftermarket cooler I'v never seen it go above 45C. Its fast and affordable.
Cons: None. Its a great CPU.
Great Deal. Great Card
Pros: Great price for the preformance it gives. Used the card for almost 18 months now, and ran most modern games on highest settings in the 40- 50 fps range. (Titanfall, Skyrim, COD: Ghosts, WoW, SC2, Diablo 3, LoL, etc) Would suggest for a gamer who focuses on non-fps MMO's, like World of Warcraft or League of Legends, it will allow you to play on high settings with no issues in FPS for a very nice price. No Heat issues, and supports 2 Monitors like a breeze.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: When I first purchased the card the fan was making an odd ticking noise, as if it were knicking the side of the fan case. Ended up being the static plastic that is applied normally on the exterior of things, on the actual fan blades. Have never seen that before, but once removed never heard from the fan again.
No Issues
Pros: Does what I need it to do (higher end gaming and video). Aesthetically Pleasing.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: On older MOBO's might be a tight fit for the casing around the RAM, but I assume it can be removed.
Perfect Cooler
Pros: Have had this cooler for almost a year now, never had any problems whatsoever with it. Running a i5-3570K oc'd at 4.2 ghz, and never have i seen it go above 40*C. Very quiet.
Cons: Reason why I took off one egg; the cooler is very large. And, although i use it in a Mid Tower Case, i would recommend using it in a full tower.
Overall Review: When I was installing, I found an issue with being sure the thermal plate had a good contact with the CPU. The weight of the cooler/heat sink would pull down on the whole apparatus when set vertically up. Didn't cause any problems though.
