Most Favorable Review

Big jump from the g5500

Intel Core i3 8th Gen - Core i3-8100 Coffee Lake Quad-Core 3.6 GHz LGA 1151 (300 Series) 65W BX80684I38100 Desktop Processor Intel UHD Graphics 630

Pros: Fast and run's cool unlike the pentium gold g 5500 that struggled to do anything it ran at 91 far. at idle 8100 stay's at 84 far. at idle

Cons: none so far

Overall Review: Yes i would recommend it for sure

Most Critical Review

This thing is for the office

Intel Pentium Gold G5500 Coffee Lake Dual-Core 3.8 GHz LGA 1151 (300 Series) 54W BX80684G5500 Desktop Processor Intel UHD Graphics 630
Intel Pentium Gold G5500 Coffee Lake Dual-Core 3.8 GHz LGA 1151 (300 Series) 54W BX80684G5500 Desktop Processor Intel UHD Graphics 630

Pros: It was ok but it struggled to do anything, it ran hot and was kinda flaky, do not buy this for gaming it's meant for the office i think.

Cons: Ran hot 91 far. at idle it struggled on my msi H370 gaming plus it ran games but it struggles to do so.

Overall Review: Yes i would recommend for minor task but not so for gaming,get the i3.

Very Surprised

AMD Ryzen 5 2nd Gen - RYZEN 5 2600X Pinnacle Ridge (Zen+) 6-Core 3.6 GHz (4.2 GHz Max Boost) Socket AM4 95W YD260XBCAFBOX Desktop Processor
AMD Ryzen 5 2nd Gen - RYZEN 5 2600X Pinnacle Ridge (Zen+) 6-Core 3.6 GHz (4.2 GHz Max Boost) Socket AM4 95W YD260XBCAFBOX Desktop Processor

Pros: My first AMD chip sent's 1986,been a long time intel fan but i went with AMD on this build and i'm glad i did. intel and nvidia have gone bonker's with there price's.

Cons: I went with another MSI board they are a tricky sort but i got it going, right out of the box it was boosting up to 4 ghz and giving me voltage warning's it took me some time but i figured it out, i don't like to overclock it destroy's part's

Overall Review: Kinda new to me but it's growing on me. I like it i would recommend it. wish my mother board could have lock it out of the box, it started out overclocked so i guess that's the end of that waranty.

I don't know

MSI Radeon RX 570 8GB GDDR5 PCI Express x16 CrossFireX Support ATX Video Card RX 570 ARMOR 8G OC
MSI Radeon RX 570 8GB GDDR5 PCI Express x16 CrossFireX Support ATX Video Card RX 570 ARMOR 8G OC

Pros: Awsome card for hd gaming.

Cons: Where to begin i have been fighting with drivers for months now,I open setting's change a setting, And lock up close in task manager,open settings back up change a setting and lock up, with every driver i have gottin from amd has been rottin, some driver's were worse then the last driver's they would put out, why they do not fix it idk .I wish i can get a driver that worked.Im 49 and i started when i was 16 year's my brother is a p.c. tech so i know my way around a p.c. so it might be me doing somthing wrong,I might switch back to nvidia. NOT.

Overall Review: Like i said awsome card paired with the i3 8100 and i have the msi H370 pro gaming plus couldn't be more happy but it;s a love hate thing love the card but hate the driver's like i said change a setting and lock up,15 mins to change 4 setting's im at wits end with these flaky driver's.

Long time asus man,switched to msi.

MSI H370 GAMING PLUS LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel H370 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard
MSI H370 GAMING PLUS LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel H370 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: IT was new and diffrent for me,i alway's used asus, a little flaky but i figured it out but so far it has been a pretty handy little board it felt cheap to me at first, asus being pretty hefty but i'm getting use to it day by day.

Cons: I don't ever overclock it destroy's part's so i got the H370 chipset but the bios still has overclocking feature's in it.

Overall Review: O yea it's been pretty good for my gaming,i put the i3 8100 in the socket,my gaming has been really good.
