Pros: Fast, stable, efficient, and well worth the price. This CPU is great. Had a AMD x4 840 which was holding back my GTX 560ti. Wasn't sure about that, but after upgrading CPU, mem, and mobo it's clear the processor was the bottleneck. Huge improvent in flight sims like ROF, and IL2. ROF is running at pretty much constant 60fps with vsync. Sometimes drops to 48fps with large explosions and lots of smoke with max settings. Cliffs of Dover runs like great now too, though updates to the game promise even better performance. Red Orchestra 2 runs insanely well. It's funny but this processor almost seems to make the graphics look better and not just for the fps, though the fluidity of motion is surreal at times. With a better graphics card I think just about anyone would be very happy with this CPU coupled with a z77 mobo. Oh and I haven't even overclocked it yet so I am expecting about 15-20% performance increase at 4.5GHz. Just haven't even needed to OC this chip yet as it flys at s

Cons: Nothing.

Overall Review: Well worth the money. Though about getting a 2500k the deciding factor was much better fps on a few select titles. Guess the extra 1.4 millions transistors or so make a difference depending on how the software is written. Better power consumption too so was worth the extra 20 or 30 bucks. Just let me add. IL-2 Sturmovik, the first one, runs like a scalded dog now. Black death track running at pretty much constant 60 fps sometime rarely dropping to 40 for a split second.

Pros: Cheap, good warranty length if HP honors it.

Cons: Keeps crashing after a month of use. I've had to restore the OS twice now and it just keeps messing up.

Overall Review: Everyone as duds but this is disappointing. Can't return to NewEgg now so I have to take it up with HP. I'm having to order a second drive to get the machine up and running again.

Pros: Just installed it and ran Crystaldisk on it. Getting just over 7000MBs reads and 6000MBs writes. Idling at 40C. So far, this is shaping up to be just as advertised.

Cons: Can't really say there are any so far. The Heat sink, while looking of better quality, has the appearence of those really cheap ones you get in the amazonian river, but it's better, just wished it didn't have the same look.

Overall Review: Got this on sale, and for under 90 dollars it's amazing so far. I haven't even put any data on it just what the testing did but it installed fine and is working great so far. Only little issue is for some reason I have a weird message in the driver details in Windows 10 that says it wasn't migrated because the device desciptor is ambiguous or similar to my OCZ Agility drive that isn't even installed anymore. Isn't causing any issues though, the drive checks out fine. It's probably because I'm on an old install of Windows that's was updated from Win 7 to 10 and then upgraded several times from there. I need to just to a clean WIndows install after using this one for probably 8 years or more LOL. Great drive, I'm using it on PC with a 13600K Raptor Lake processor but should be great on a PS5 as well.

Pros: Just received this monitor and it's very impressive out of the box. It is HUGE, I wasn't execting it to be as big as it is. The stand is ver strong and made the legs are made out of metal. Gaming on this thing is pretty awesome, I'm not getting any of the ghosting or black smear others complain about. The price was good and the Gsync works very, very well. No dead pixels so far thankfully. Darks are very dark and nice, colors are vivid.

Cons: Mine is suffering from some kind of weird edge bleed though I don't think it's the same as actual edge bleed. On black screens in a dark room I am getting now edge bleed light coming through, but on certain other colors I'm getting this weird fade at all the way around the edge of the screen with a very distinct cutoff line. It's like a halo or something it's hard to explain but very noticable when the screen is brighter. I can't seem to fully adjust it out with montior or Nvidia settings. Considering returning it for a replacement unit.

Overall Review: It's good if you can overlook the edge fade, on some games I have no problem, in others, its pretty annoying when you look at the edges of the screen. I'd say overall it's a good monitor, it would be perfect if I wasn't having this strange issue.

Pros: Inexpensive, good color, nice picture, very professional looking.

Cons: Resolution issues see below

Overall Review: This monitor is showing it's native resolution as 1024 x 768 in Windows 7 and will go no higher. I installed the official driver from Lenovo and it made no difference. I'm using it as a second display so not sure if that has anything to do with it but it's never been a problem for me with any other monitor.

Pros: Stupid fast card, low temps, stable

Cons: Expensive, plastic back plate, didn't like the bios settings that worked with my other 2 Nvidia card, box was cut and opened upon arrival.

Overall Review: This card is expensive put also amazing and absolutely worth the money. Now, I'm still on Win 7 so no DX12 for me. Running an i5 3570k@4.4Ghz with 16GB of DDR3 mem, my res is 2560x1080. DCS World runs great on this card, CPU is now the limiting factor. Been playing Oblivion on it and somehow it makes older games look better even without using any filters. Card is a beast but my CPU will bottleneck from time to time. If you have a newer fast processor and plan to game at 1080 Ultrawide, this thing is breathtaking. Oblivion and Skyrim are so immersive stay pegged at 75fps 98 percent of the time with everything maxed. Once again I think my mobo/CPU/mem/OS are holding this card back. Playing Oblivion for hours and hours with tons of graphics mods and the card averages about 50C temperature. The fans are quiet and it only required one 6 pin power plug. When I first installed the card I was getting video for the POST when I booted but no video after that on either HDMI or Display Port. Turned out the card didn't like some setting in my BIOS, probably PCI-E power management. I set my BIOS to default settings then the card worked fine. I went back through and set all my BIOS settings back to where I had them up left the PCI-E power management off and also set some PCI-E settings to auto. If you have an issue you'll have to experiment with your individual setup. I'm on an old Biostar tz77 Overclocker board so newer generation BIOS my not have any issues. Did I mention the card was expensive? Yeah, 400+ all said and done, it hurts a bit but I don't regret it, the card is great for my setup and will hopefully last me many years. I was considering a gtx 1660 ti or even rtx 2060 but I'm really glad I bought this super so far. Don't buy used cards anymore after I got burned for 200 on one. 3 year manufacturer warranty makes it well worth the extra money. If you're on the fence, just do it and sacrifice a few cases of beer or takeout meals.
