If you don't want a 5700xt, this is good value.
1 of 1 found this helpful The 5700xt from AMD is better value, but I have a G-Sync monitor, so I had to go Nvidia.
This is the cheapest 2070 super I found when I bought it, but it isn't bad. The fans are quite loud, but if you have good airflow in your case, you can set a quieter fan curve to mitigate this issue.
With a Fractal Design Meshify C, 2x140mm intake fans at the front, and 1x120mm exhaust fan at the back, the card hits 74C at 100% load at stock. At first I was hitting 77C, but I moved one of my intake fans down as low as I could so more air could access the GPU, and that reduced temps by 3C.
I haven't tried overclocking yet, but there seems to be a good amount of thermal headroom.
Overall, this is a good value card.

Worth every penny.
Pros:
-Looks great with black/white parts (Cryorig H7 and MSI GTX 1080 Armor)
-Easy cable management thanks to included velcro straps and wide back chamber
-Thermals and noise are great, even with my loud and toasty GPU. However, I did install two Noctua 140mm fans at the front, so that certainly helps.
Cons:
-PSU is tricky to install, as the included bracket lined up strangely with the case. I had to use considerable force to secure the PSU in properly.
-Front I/O has just 2 USB 3.0 ports. I'm not sure if this is the standard at this pricepoint, but more would be better.
-GPU clearance is worth looking at. My GPU is a dual fan, so it fits with extra space, but triple fan GPU's might be cramped. This issue will be even worse if you're using a front mounted radiator.
I was initially wary of spending over $100 CAD on a case, when that money could go to a better graphics card or monitor along with a cheaper case. This case is definitely worth the money, and I plan on reusing the case for my next build whenever I decide to upgrade.
