Good video card, great brand, quiet, does the job
Despite the hardware being good, i can't say with confidence you should buy msi products.
So i went out and got another one and now its running in (sli) now the build is completedboth cards looks.
Price
And great value, very affordable for its price/perfomance ratio.
Great card for the price, in its time!
A legitimate graphic card at a reasonable price.
The proceeds paid for not only the cards but my two computers!
Packaging/appearance
+my excitement to take it out was not interrupted by the packaging, was easy to open and remove the card.
Unboxing:+ very great feeling to pull this out of the secure packaging, especially when i'm upgrading from a 750ti.
Competitiveness
Super stable compared to the previous geforce card i was running.
As more demanding vr titles come out, i will probably upgrade to a gtx 1070.

On an h170 mobo with an i56500 and 16 gb ram with no overclocking it runs heavily modded skyrim on ultra settings on a standard 1920x1080 monitor in dsr mode at 60 fps without hiccups

Its still a really solid card to use even though there are obviously the 10 series that can provide better bang for your buck especially now with the rtx series coming out
