iBUYPOWER AM003i Gaming PC Review, Is It Worth The Investment?

by Colton

It’s time to review the iBUYPOWER AM003i gaming PC and we’re doing a review since it’s a top selling pre-built desktop on Amazon right now and it’s good to know what you’re getting per dollar spent. In today’s world of gaming rigs, it makes more sense to get a pre-built due to the increase in the overall price in PC hardware.

This pre-built is packed with high powered hardware along with some nice features to boot. If you’re looking for something that will provide top-notch VR gaming performance and/or the necessary specifications for full-time content creation then something like this might have to be on your radar.

With that, let’s get to the review.

Pictek Gaming Keyboard Review, A RGB Keyboard For Cheap

by Colton

If you’re looking for a cheap RGB keyboard that is loaded with lighting options and feels great to use whether it’s general use or gaming then look no further than this gaming keyboard from Pictek.

After using it for almost a week now I’ve felt that it was a good time to get it going with a review. It is a lot better than I expected, much like how my first impressions of the Pictek gaming mouse was.

Although not truly mechanical, it “feels mechanical” while still being a membrane keyboard. I’ll explain later on. They did a good job making it feel mechanical, that’s for sure!

With that, let’s get to the review.

Pictek Gaming Mouse Review, Is This The Best Gaming Mouse For A Low Price?

by Colton

It’s time to review the Pictek gaming mouse since we’ve had some time to get some personal experience with it. A mouse needs to be packed with cool features for it to be considered one of the best mice for a low price, but does Pictek deliver on that?

We’ve had plenty of experience with the mouse to answer that and it’s best to go over everything that this mouse has in store. There is more to it than what you’d think!

With that, let’s get to the review.

CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme GXIVR8020A4 Review, A Pre-Built Gaming PC That Makes Sense

by Colton

It’s about that time to review the CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme GXIVR8020A4 model since it seems to be selling well on Amazon, it boasts having amazing hardware and it is at a decent price point. The only way to know is to take a look inside for yourself to see what you’re really getting with this PC.

Previous reviews have been done here with other CyberPowerPC computers, more specifically with the Gamer Xtreme GXiVR8020A2 model – this new model is an upgrade from the last iterations since new hardware has been released since then.

This is great because if this PC follows suit with the past then that means that you’re getting very close to having the right amount of power per dollar spent which is hard to find with most pre-built gaming PCs.

With that, let’s get to the review.

Thermaltake WATER 3.0 Riing RGB 240/360 Review, Is This The Ideal RGB Liquid Cooler?

by Colton

I’d like to post a Thermaltake WATER 3.0 Riing RGB 240/360 review because it is one of the most popular RGB liquid coolers on the market right now and many want to know if it’s good enough to stand the test of time and if the performance is worth the dollars spent.

I’ve been using this cooler for almost a year now and it has been doing very well for me. My build has the 240 version installed cooling an i7-7700k and it’s able to handle a slight overclock just fine. I’ll be getting into more details as we move along with the post.

With that, let’s get to the review.

Dell S2716DG 27″ Monitor Review, This Is 1440p Done Right

by Colton

It’s time to review the Dell S2716DG 27″ monitor because it’s one of the best selling 1440p monitors on Amazon. Let’s see if it’s actually worth getting!

Usually 1440p monitors are priced super high when they have a bunch of features included but that’s not the case with the S2716DC model. With G-Sync and a moveable screen, the price really isn’t all that bad!

With that, let’s get to the review.

Should Steam Change Their Review System?

by Colton

Steam has used a thumbs up/thumbs down review system since 2013 and it has been the deciding factor for most people as to whether or not they are going to purchase a PC game from Steam.

For the longest time I’ve loved it, I’ve based my purchasing decision off of the overall rating and reading the reviews of people who had actual experience with the game.

But now it seems like some reviewers have hardly any playtime in, they have a grudge against the developers or their PC just isn’t enough to run the game so they leave a bad review…

I’d like to talk about some things regarding Steam’s review system and get your opinions afterwards!

ASUS VG245H Review, A FreeSync Gaming Monitor Done Right

by Colton

It’s time for an ASUS VG245H review, a FreeSync monitor that is priced well for what you get. If you’re using an AMD card, you should consider picking this up.

At 1080p resolution, FreeSync technology included, 75hz refresh rate and 1ms response time all at a very reasonable price – you really can’t ignore this one.

With that, let’s get to the review.

CyberPowerPC Gamer Master GMA2200A Desktop Gaming PC, Does It Perform Well?

by Colton

Let’s review the CyberTronPC Gamer Master GMA2200A desktop gaming PC since it recently became a top seller on Amazon. Does the hardware add up to the price?

Whenever you’re looking into a pre-built gaming PC you need to make sure you understand all of the hardware that is inside. From there, you can determine whether or not it’s worth the asking price. That’s what I plan to do, let’s find out if it’s worth picking up.

With that, let’s get to the review.

Xotic PC Review, Are These PCs Overpriced & Under Built?

by Colton

It’s time to review Xotic PC to see if their custom PCs are actually worth getting. Let’s look at the hardware piece by piece and see if the value is there.

Xotic also sells different peripherals to go with their PCs which sounds like a good idea right off the bat but maybe you’re able to get the same peripherals for a better price elsewhere…

With that, let’s get to the review.
