Awesome!
Pros: The card plays just about everything all while staying cool and quiet. Free game and Lifetime warranty!
Cons: The card is big..as mentioned by someone it too covers up some of my sata ports. It also appears to be sagging at the very end.
Overall Review: This is my first real build (outside of doing them at work), overall the card is sweet. Although I wish there was something to compensate for the sagging.
Awesome Upgrade
Pros: Upgraded from FX 6200 and can now stream to twitch at 60fps in most games with no issues. Having 8 cores is really useful when working with virtual machines. Can be overclocked quite a bit, currently it at the same clock speed as the 8350 (4ghz).
Cons: Its 4 years old? Hardly a con for the performance.
Overall Review: I also purchased a new a cpu cooler and it has not gone above 60c once when I ran prime95 stress test.
Still Running Strong
Pros: I have owned this SSD for about a year and half now and it is still going strong. Boot times are around 13 seconds for me depending what is loading on start up. I also really like that it is still being supported through firmware updates.
Cons: I didn't get a larger SSD.
Beast
Pros: Processor is fast and stays cool. Although it's not top of line, games that require more cpu like Plantside 2 are running at 60+ Also when gaming, temps usually stay around 30-40c depending what game.
Cons: Stock cooler is pretty noisy
Overall Review: I have already installed an aftermarket cpu cooler and is much quieter now.
