Great Graphics Card
Pros: -Runs(League Of Legends,Call Of Duty BlackOps, Call Of Duty BlackOps 2, PlanetSide 2, MAT Online, Team Fortress 2, Battlefield 3, Age Of Conan, StarWars The Old Republic, Minecraft, Black Light Retribution, Modern Warfare 2, Modern Warfare 3.) ALL ON ULTRA HIGH SETTINGS - Comes with DVI to VGA adapter, (Good for dual monitor setup) - Doesn't need external power - Quiet fan
Cons: -The DVD that came with the card came with out-of-date drivers. I went strait to playing League Of Legends with my out of date drivers, my screen started blinking every few seconds and then eventually League Of Legends crashed. I then installed the up-to-date drivers from AMD's site and I now only get the occasional screen blink in League Of Legends. So far League Of Legends has been the only game to display these screen flashes, everything else works flawlessly.
Overall Review: My system Specs are- AMD FX-8120 Zambezi 3.1 GHz 8GB memory Windows 7 (64-bit) 500W Power Supply MSI 760GMA-P34 1 TB Hardrive
Idle CPU usage of 1-2%
Pros: -Great for multi tasking, Asus has a great overclocking program that individually overclock the cores to conserve power and reduce heat. -Overclocks Like a Champ
Cons: -Power Consumption, If you are going to us a highend GPU such as the 980ti, play it safe and get at least a 1000w Powersupply. This is because the CPU alone draws a ton of power, then to add 2-8 pin PCI-E connectors to the GPU. -Also, some houses are not equipped with proper power output and if you overclock, it would be safe to add some more power to the room.
Fast, But a pain to install
Pros: -Benchmarked at 1.5 Gb/s read speed -Benchmarked at 1Gb/s write speed -OS Boot time 7-10 seconds -Game load times, GTA V, Civilization V-Marley seconds
Cons: -Be aware that this can be a total pain to install. -Requires special BIOS configuration and UEFI GPT Windows install.
Overall Review: -Since the technology is so new, it wasn't easy to load windows onto, but it was well worth it.

Great
Pros: -No installation problem -The compact size of the sticks of ram is great for compact cases with little room -8GB of RAM is perfect for gaming, not to much and not to less. -Good Price
Cons: -NONE
Overall Review: 64-bit versions of Windows is recomended for 8GB of RAM, if you are using 32-bit, the OS will not make use of most of the 8GBs of RAM. The reason for this is because 32-bit versions of Windows are not optimized for anything more than 4GBs of RAM.
