Most Favorable Review

Still great bang for your buck

AMD Phenom 9850 Black Edition - Phenom X4 Quad-Core 2.5 GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Processor - HD985ZXAGHBOX
AMD Phenom 9850 Black Edition - Phenom X4 Quad-Core 2.5 GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Processor - HD985ZXAGHBOX

Pros: Solid processor for the price, very competent overclocker with sb750 3.2 ghz with slight volt bump, runs everything I throw at it without a hiccup

Cons: Phenom 2's are faster and higher ocers, Am3 isn't too much more expensive.

Overall Review: This processor in my experience overclocks quite well 3.0 ghz with no voltage change, can hit 3.4 or higher with amd overdrive though through bios I have it stable at 1.36 volts at 3.2ghz. Get a quality 790gx board with this and you have a low cost powerful rig waiting to happen.

Most Critical Review

Didn't get the job done

Athena Power CABLE-YPCIE628 7.25 in. PCIE 6pin "Y" Split to Two PCIE 2.0 8(6+2)pin Cable Female to Male
Athena Power CABLE-YPCIE628 7.25 in. PCIE 6pin "Y" Split to Two PCIE 2.0 8(6+2)pin Cable Female to Male

Pros: Nice length, 6 or 8 pin

Cons: Didnt power the card properly

Overall Review: could be bad luck I don't know I have a 750watt Silverstone Strider and couldn't use this to power a 4870x2

Astounding Performance

PowerColor RED DEVIL Radeon RX 7900 XTX 24GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 ATX Video Card RX7900XTX 24G-E/OC
PowerColor RED DEVIL Radeon RX 7900 XTX 24GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 ATX Video Card RX7900XTX 24G-E/OC

Pros: Absolutely amazing performance. No noise, no coil whine. Gaming at 144fps or more 4k max settings. Great rgb!

Cons: Huge, wont fit smaller cases, costly, windows didnt play nice with mine and kept over writing my drivers, fixed with ddu.

Overall Review: I came from a 6900xt which is not a weak card by any means. I game now at max settings and its comparable to my 6900xt at 1440. If you can afford it and want 4k go for it. At 1440, your 6900xt or 6950xt is fine imo. I just wanted extreme and I def got it with this.

Upgrade

ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3070 V2 OC Edition 8GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 Video Card TUF-RTX3070-O8G-V2-GAMING (LHR)

Pros: Fast, quiet, well built, overkill cooling that works great keeping card cool. Crushes 1440 gaming.

Cons: Price, cannot find one for anywhere near msrp outside the shuffle. Large card, same size as my previous but for some Could be an issue.

Overall Review: Got this as an upgrade over my 5700, huge fps increase. Runs as quiet and even cooler. Went from 80fps in Diablo 2 Resurrected to 144 solid. Perfect upgrade if you can find one this is the minimum I would accept and I have no regrets. Everything is blazing fast with this card.

Great Monitor!

MSI Optix MAG321CQR 32" WQHD Non-Glare Super Narrow Bezel 1ms 2560 x 1440 Resolution 144Hz Refresh Rate FreeSync Technology Height Adjustable Curved Monitor
MSI Optix MAG321CQR 32" WQHD Non-Glare Super Narrow Bezel 1ms 2560 x 1440 Resolution 144Hz Refresh Rate FreeSync Technology Height Adjustable Curved Monitor

Pros: Looks great, no dead stuck pixels, very nice ui for tweaking, the stand is perfect. High quality and big screen size, slight curve is nice. Gaming performance is spectacular!

Cons: Large for a 2k display (31.5)

Overall Review: Got this as a replacement for a 4k 60hz monitor, The 144 refresh makes up for the loss of resolution. The size can be a con to some but this display looks great to me as the display is so nice. For the price I would def recommend this especially if you want to upgrade from 1080.

This one works

Sega Saturn Action Replay Plus 3 in 1 Memory Card and Cheat Codes Auto 1 or 4M Ram Region Free

Pros: Works as intended for my old saturn, good price.

Cons: Many of these do not work, hit or miss.

Overall Review: Worked in my Saturn as intended, replaces a unit from other marketplace that did not work. Allows me to play backups and other region games and provided memory cart as well.
