Pros: Fast and affordable. Got it on sale for $149, really good price.

Cons: none.

Overall Review: Installed in my desktop, worked perfectly. It also comes with a foam spacer to make it 9mm thick if needed for certain laptops.

Beautiful game

Shadow of the Tomb Raider [Online Game Code]

Pros: the graphical settings and options are fully featured on PC. Looks so good in 1440P. No glitches so far.

Cons: No RTX (Ray Tracing) support yet by Nvidia. Waiting for a patch to show up, 2 months after the new graphics cards were released.

Overall Review: Currently running on RTX 2070 and ROG Swift PG2789Q 165 Hz monitor.

already had to send it back to Newegg because of Asus quality control

ASUS ROG Maximus XI Hero (Wi-Fi) Z390 Gaming Motherboard LGA1151 (Intel 8th and 9th Gen) ATX DDR4 DP HDMI M.2 USB 3.1 Gen2 Onboard 802.11 ac

Pros: looks great, built well, lots of features. RGB!

Cons: No CPU's available. 9900K, 9700K all out of stock. I exchanged for a new one because Asus overtighened the M.2 SSD heatsink at the factory and the screw stripped out when I tried to remove it.

Overall Review: Newegg has taken good care of me in their customer service dept. A new motherboard is on the way. Asus needs to lower their torque settings on their screwdrivers. A $300 motherboard should not have problems like that out of the box.

Pros: i upgraded an old Compaq N610C from 256MB to the max capacity of 1GB.

Cons: Shipping was a little slow. Took over a week and a half.

Overall Review: RAM works and is exactly as advertised. Installed and verified by BIOS, Windows, and CPU Z.

I bought this on July 14, 2014

ASUS STRIX-GTX780-OC-6GD5 G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 780 6GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
ASUS STRIX-GTX780-OC-6GD5 G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 780 6GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: 6GB of VRAM, great for Watch Dogs. I've been tinkering with this card for about 2 weeks. It overclocks like a beast. I am able to run the card +160 mhz on the the boost clock and +600mhz on the memory, gaining about 8 fps on Valley Benchmark. It runs all games at max settings with good fps.

Cons: Expensive but I did buy it for $589 on launch day (July 14th, 2014). It should have been released earlier since we are inbetween gpu generations for Nvidia. The 800 series is coming this October/November already. I am also dissapointed that Asus GPU tweak will not load on my system. It fails during installation. Asus was not able to help me at all. They told me to reinstall my entire OS which I'm not going to do. So for now, I'm using EVGA Precision X which is a good program. That is why I took off 1 egg; expensive and GPU Tweak doesn't install. I am running Windows 8.1 and that is not the issue.

Overall Review: I do recommend this card over the regular GTX 780 with 3GB of VRAM. I have used EVGA precision to monitor VRAM usage in Watch Dogs and i takes over 3.5GB of VRAM on Ultra @ 1080P. Future games will require more VRAM. Rumors are saying the new GTX 880 will have up to 8GB of VRAM. I'm glad I made this purchase because 3 years ago I bought the 1.5GB versions of the GTX 580 due to bad advice by people on other forums. They told me I would not need 3GB of VRAM and it was a waste of money. Look at today, 3GB is the minimum required to run games on Ultra. Do yourself a favor and always buy the most amount of VRAM possible. Watch my unboxing and install video. I beat Linustech and Newegg to it :) http://youtu.be/H5-gH8Y1SGQ

Works perfectly!

Superb Choice® 12-cell SONY VAIO VGN-NR160E/S Laptop Battery
Superb Choice® 12-cell SONY VAIO VGN-NR160E/S Laptop Battery

Pros: The laptop recognized the battery immediately upon plugging it in. It came with a 50% charge. It provides 3 to 4 hours of run time on high performance mode. Shipping was very fast! Only 2 days from San Diego to L.A.

Cons: It sticks out beyond the back of the laptop but this is to be expected since it's double the physical size of the original 6 cell that comes with the laptop. It's double the weight as well.

Overall Review: The size and weight is to be expected. if you get beyond that thought, this battery is well worth the price due to the performance you get. My old battery was so old, it was no longer being recognized by the laptop. It has made my laptop as new as the day it was purchased. I can go 3 to 4 hours without the AC adapter. I'm very happy with this purchase.
