Affordable Upgrade

Pros: -Cost -Easy to insert into PCIE slot
Cons: -None
Overall Review: Cost effective upgrade from a 12GB AsRock Challenger. Currently driving a 3440x1440 Samsung gaming monitor achieving superb visuals in-game. Very occasional and more-than-tolerable coil whine; near-silent otherwise. Received a ninety-dollar discount via Newegg's trade-in promotion - I recommend participating in that as well if you have a spare GPU that is eligible.
Awesome 1080p Monitor at an Awsomer Price Point

Pros: FreeSync and 144 Hz capable. Subtle curve is a nice feature. Rear-mounted joystick for OSD and settings selection is *perfectly* positioned and easy to use.
Cons: Balancing image for readable web browsing and optimal game appearance has been something of a challenge. If anything games look just a *leeetle* dark. Adjusting brightness, contrast, the black tuner (quite useful setting) and general mode takes some trial and error. Very minor gripe.
Overall Review: I paired this monitor with an AsRock Phantom Gaming RX Vega 56 GPU and am most pleased with the results. Games play smoothly and look fantastic. There doesn't appear to be a means of enabling 144 Hz from the monitor's OSD. It is instead a setting found within AMD's settings suite under the 'Display' tab. It requires a re-enable following a clean driver install and will appear as a recommendation from both AMD and Windows.
Quite Capable for 1080p Gaming

Pros: Most solidly constructed and well-built GPU I've yet owned. Reasonably quiet.
Cons: Somewhat high power demand. Recommended PSU capacity is 750 watts.
Overall Review: Upgraded to this GPU from an MSI 8GB RX 480 and paired with an MSI Optix MAG241C 1080p monitor. The RX 480 did a respectable job at 1440p, but this card supports both FreeSync and my new monitor's refresh rate of 144 Hz - two features the old card couldn't. My core game - Path of Exile - looks fantastic and plays beautifully with this setup. Quite pleased. The most recent driver updates have forced a complete loss of image toward the completion of the install, however. Not a loss of signal, just a black screen. This didn't happen with the RX 480. A soft reset was necessary to drive the update home but it works wonderfully afterward.
Good Value

Pros: Lightweight and Sturdy. Responsive. Quiet Keystrokes. Broad Array of Lighting Effect Customization.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: I wanted to replace the Microsoft Ergonomic 4000 model I was using with a backlit gaming keyboard for a low price. I already had the UtechSmart Venus gaming mouse and the Saturn seemed like a fitting addition. Easy setup; plug and play. The instructions about how to adjust all the lighting effects are succinct and easy to follow. I stuck with the default color scheme and throttled down the "breathing cycle" (interval at which the colors shift) two or three notches. I like the results - even at maximum brightness the lighting is noticeable without being so bright as to become a distraction. Makes for a much more attractive desktop ensemble than my previous keyboard, even when powered off. Inexpensive and reasonably good quality backlit gaming keyboard for the price.
Best Gaming Mouse I've Used To Date

Pros: Overwhelming Array of Customizable Lighting, Effects, and Settings Sharp Appearance Even When Cold and Dark
Cons: None
Overall Review: This mouse was on my wish list for a few weeks to round out the peripheral selection to accompany a new gaming PC build. I was intrigued by the twelve side buttons and the "IGN's Pick" tagline. It went on sale for $27.99 and I took the plunge and placed my order. I liked it from the moment I unpackaged it. It has two unexpected features that I really like: the rows of side buttons are angled so that buttons 1-6 and 7-12 form slight convex valleys that make navigating by feel much more effective. The Razer 2014 MMO model that I previously owned was a quality product but the 12 side button surfaces were all flush. This mouse also features an extruded shelf underneath the bottom row of buttons that acts as a thumb rest. A simple but ingenious addition that makes gaming with this mouse an absolute blast, especially for the price. Most enthusiastically recommended.
Perfect Product

Pros: Inexpensive. Easy to install. Works as advertised.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: The local electronics retailer from whom I purchased an Asus Zenfone 2e doesn't stock any third-party cases or accessories for it, so I was compelled to search online. I was considering an alternate product on another e-commerce site but it is designed in two or three pieces that are designed to fit together to form one integral case. I didn't think that was the best option - I wanted something in one piece. This product was exactly what I had in mind. It fits snugly around the Zenfone 2e and has all the appropriate cut-outs and raised material points to support total functionality. It is lightweight and provides protection and some grippage...the included case is sturdy but somewhat slick. Tremendous price point: normally $27.99 was marked down $22.80 to $5.19 with no tax and free shipping. Arrived in two or three days via USPS. Superior selection and price, Newegg.
Perfect Fit!
I needed a replacement 24-pin motherboard connector for a Seasonic MII Bronze 620-watt desktop PC power supply. Jay's Marketplace had one in stock and the item arrived well-packaged and undamaged. Worked beautifully when installed.
Just the Wrong Mailbox
Post office reported item delivered on March 4, 2026. Mailbox did not contain it. Alerted 3CExpert via Newegg marketplace. 3CExpert stated they had filed a claim with USPS on my behalf. Nearly two weeks later 3CExpert stated they had received proof of delivery and that USPS had denied the claim. No replacement and no refund from 3CExpert. Three trips to the post office and nearly three weeks after the reported delivery date my nieghbor knocks on my door and and hands the parcel over. I was in the process of posting a one-egg review when he knocked. He added he doesn't check his mail very often. Yes, this seller deserves your business. They shipped the advertised item for which I paid and it was packaged well. I have since purchased alternates from a different merchant but a having a spare is a good thing.
Fast, Reliable, and as Advertised
Placed orders for a Redragon Shiva 87 Pro keyboard and a Redragon Predator Pro mouse in addition to the GS550 Orpheus speakers. All three items arrived quickly and in good condition, and worked right out of the boxes. Exceptional value for solid gear.
