Pros: Makes games look good. Runs cool. Runs quiet.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: If you're on a budget and want a decent card, this is one to consider.

Worked Great While It Worked...

AMD A10-6800K Richland 4.1 GHz (4.4GHz Turbo) Socket FM2 100W Quad-Core Desktop Processor - Black Edition AMD Radeon HD 8670D

Pros: Good CPU, did everything I needed to. Used in a gaming PC I had built and all games ran fine with it.

Cons: Ran very hot, often reaching upwards of 90c while idling.

Overall Review: The temperatures the CPU was reaching caused me to buy a liquid cooling unit. As I went to remove the stock heat sink, I found the heat sink had bonded very tightly to the CPU. I gave the heat sink a quick yank and it RIPPED the CPU right out of the socket. It bent a few pins and one pin fell off. Due to this, all warranties were voided and I could not get a replacement. Likely a freak accident, but beware. I did like the CPU however, so I bought a new one. From another popular online retailer, where it was $10 less (with Prime) than here on newegg.
