Pros: The board it self is amazing the quality is the best that i have seen. i came from Asus to Gigabyte and i have never been happier 1* dual bios (i haven't used it yet but im happy its there.) 2* the bios it self is easy to work with (for me that is) 3* overclocks really good (with the right stuff) 4*some people say that the on board sound rocks. (im using a sound card so i dont know) 5* the back plate / i/o shield is colored i like it all in all i haven't had much to complain about im really happy with it but like every one theres always something to be picky about.

Cons: Time for the cons. i updated the bios last night to F5 and that was easy just got a flash drive and fallowed the instructions and it worked. but im not sure if it was the update or if it was the overclock im testing now i was playing Battlefield Bad Company 2 last night and every 2 or so hours it would my computer would restart out of the bule. but like i said maybe my over clock even tho its the same settings as before i updated the bios. i dont know if its me or just the board but my North Bridge gets really hot about 60'c and i dont like that at all. like i said i dont know if its just my board or not. the usb hook ups are right under the 1st pci-e slot and that bugs me. it also makes it hard to hide the wires you cant have all the sata ports filled if you plan to use 2 video cars

Pros: for the time that it worked i could play any game out there. on mid-high settings with hd or not. the card is not loud at all. runs way cooler than my evga 8800gts and was a really good replacement card for my bfg 250 that went out on me and bfg went out of business so i took the card back to bes_tbuy and they gave me my money back so i ordered this card.

Cons: only con i have is that after 6 months the card is going out. if you play any type of 3d video or gaming at random the computer will freeze and restart iv had this issue befor with the bfg and my ocz ram well this is not the case it is the card i have ran every test i can to find out the issue. putting the card in another pc that was just freshly installed showed me its the card.. if done mem test and it passed prime95 it passed but when i do and thing with video it fails and restarts ... any benchmark. i have sent gigabyte a email about it they got back to me.. (knowing what tests i have done) telling me that its the memory.. and acting like i dont know anything about computers they have made me mad. and if they dont fix this issue i will never be buying another gigabyte product.

Overall Review: iv used gigabyte alot both my rigs use gigabyte motherboards tried there card... and we will see how the rma goes to say if i stick with them or go to evga

Pros: The feel, The butten layouts, the grip, the color and the dpi settings all and all the idea of the mouse

Cons: just received the package with my brand new G500 mouse. In fact it was supposed to be a replacement for Razer Abyssus for more buttens. Well, unpacked & plugged in and installed drivers from logitech website... and i get a precision issue. Let me describe what happens. The perfect example to imagine what I'm talking about is running your WinAmp in the classic skin. Now try to change volume slowly one percent by one percent (up or down, doesnt matter). To do this I plugged both Abyssus and G500 mouse. Results? Abyssus changes volume by 1-2% steady, so for example it's 50-52-54-56-58% G500 results: 50-54-58-60% with much effort, you need to do it really careful and have steady hand. I would describe it as G500 tracking is not so sensitive as Abyssus. Both mouses were plugged with default Windows7 drivers.

Overall Review: I love everything about the mouse and evey one i know likes logitech but im geting the hint i should have goten the razer Lachesis .. "Never again will i buy a logitech anything" who knows maybe this is just a bad mouse but this thing makes you not even want to play FPS games at all.. it sucks so bad. ill be looking for a fix or will be sending it back to get my money back

Pros: This is a Re review on this card. like i said on my last one i posted to day the pros are still the same. small, evga, 1gig, gts 250 or so they say

Cons: This card is the worst thing i have ever seen it says its a GTS 250 with 1Gig memory but think about it. if this is a gts 250 then why on the same setting in Battlefield Bad Company 2 as my 9800gtx ko 512MB here is what i get with the gts 250 this card here. FPS 17 settings are med res is 1600x900 and im geting 17 fps?? my 9800gt got 70fps on the same setting in the same RIG! im sorry but this card is TRASH! do not buy it.. iv tested other games and wow.... i mean wow.. it sucks..

Overall Review: buy something other than this card.. i love evga my 9800gtx is a evga but really? i spent 130 bucks on this card and i cant even play a game!?! i was ripped off. and im not happy at all

Pros: Its smaller, runs cooler and has 1GB memory. EVGA is also a plus 2 year warranty if you register the card in the 1st 30 days you buy it. and its not loud at all. thats what i like better about this card over my EVGA 9800gtx Ko witch just started to artifact for no reason.

Cons: its slower than the 9800gtx Ko 512 MB and i mean way slower i use it for gaming and on the same settings in metro 2033 the 9800gtx ko got around 70 min being 48. but with this card im getting 30 max and 17 min. this is not a good card at all for gaming. im really upset with it. if i would have known that it would be this bad i would have saved up a lil more and got me something better. and its not even 55nm the die is still 65nm.. like i said really Up Set.

Pros: Installed on a Gigabyte MA785G-UD3H Motherboard with a AMD Phenom II X2 550 Processor installing it was easy i didnt even look at the instructions so for you ppl that say you need to look them up online must be noobs. It is big i have it installed in a antec p182 case and if i had a side fan i chouldnt close the side of the case so im happy i dont. TEMPS ide 28'c max 43'c

Cons: it covers the 1st ddr ram slot on my motherboard.
