ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3070 8GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 Graphics Card ROG-STRIX-RTX3070-O8G-WHITE
ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3070 8GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 Graphics Card ROG-STRIX-RTX3070-O8G-WHITE

Pros: -White -ROG Strix OC! -RGB -Comes with micro ruler and Strix Super bowl style ring

Cons: -Feels more plasticy as compared to previous ROG RTX and GTX models using metal backplates.

Overall Review: -If you can get your hands on one of these and not pay a scalper price, DO IT!!!

Most Critical Review

Works good but...

CORSAIR Premium PCIe 3.0 x16 Extension Cable, 300mm (CC-8900419)
CORSAIR Premium PCIe 3.0 x16 Extension Cable, 300mm (CC-8900419)

Pros: -Beautifully displays GPU -Long Reach

Cons: -Flexible -Too much length -Doesn't work with ROG Strix RTX 30xx GPU

Overall Review: This ribbon works great with my Rog Strix GTX 1070 OC, Worked great with my ROG Strix RTX 2070 OC, but the moment I connected the Rog Strix RTX 3070 OC, my motherboard gave VGA Error. After doing multiple restarts/power cycles, thinking it might have something to do with my new gpu so I connected my RTX 3070 directly to the board. Instantly boots up without an issue. I remove the GPU and connect the ribbon and tried again only to be given a VGA Error again. I removed the 3070 and connected the 1070 to the ribbon and it worked. This isn't an absence of power. I have an EVGA Supernova G2 1300w.

Pros: -Supports current Ryzen CPU -Has RGB (Barely) -Has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Cons: -No USB C front panel connectability

Overall Review: -The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth was a tradeoff for the USB-C front panel connectability. If it had that, I would have easily given 5 eggs.

Cooling is a bit of an issue.

Corsair iCUE 4000X RGB CC-9011205-WW White Steel / Plastic / Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: -Glass side panel to display your build -Supports vertical GPU mounting but...

Cons: -Vertical GPU mounting option sets fans of all modern GPU too close to the glass side panel, providing little to no airflow. -Due to the distance from the side panel, if you do set up your GPU vertically the glass will get really hot! -White case, but used black fans front and center. -Minute issue with the power button. if you press from the rear of the button, there is no power actuation. Just have to adjust and press the very front of the power button.

Overall Review: -Overall, I would recommend this case to all pc builders. Just make sure you buy white fans to replace the ones in the front and know you won't have the best airflow if you set up vertical GPU.

Stunning

Beautiful Except...

CORSAIR Dominator Platinum RGB 64GB (4 x 16GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model CMT64GX4M4C3200C16W

Pros: -White -RGB

Cons: -Individual addressable LED not working appropriately.

Overall Review: -3 out of 4 dims have 1 individually addressable LED not working appropriately. All colors work except those that contain red. Blues and greens work. Just not red...The LEDs are on one or the other end. I have force updated the firmware/software to no avail. Highly skeptical of replacing since all forums contain numerous people with the same problem after replacement.
