MX150-0 - Good 4 years ago.
Graphics Cards

— The Nvidia GeForce MX150 is the mobile equivalent to the Nvidia GeForce GT 1030. It powers (Some thicker) Ultrabooks and Budget Laptops and offers decent amounts of processing power. Beware when purchasing a laptop with this GPU since there are 2 versions. The faster 25W TDP one has the N17S-G1-A1 with Device ID 1D10. The slower 10W "Max-Q" version has the N17S-LG-A1 with Device ID 1D12, which is around 20-30% slower. If you get the chance, try opening up TechPowerUp GPU-Z on your future laptop if it has this before purchasing.

— Nvidia at it again, creating the absolute best graphics card on the market. This absolute monster of a graphics card can crush through modern AAA titles and melt e-sports titles with the slightest of ease. If you bought this graphics card, congratulations. You have the greatest gaming card of the decade.

GTX 660 - Good 4 years ago.
Graphics Cards

— It was and still is a good GPU, especially for being mid range, but it's beginning to reach the end of it's lifetime where it starts to be kicked off games into the lower settings. However if you still use this GPU you should plan on upgrading in 2020 or 2021 as it will no longer be suitable for gaming especially on AAA titles where they have gotten very, very demanding. It's older sibling, the GTX 660-Ti, on the other hand was a better buy back in the day as it still partially performs reasonably well today.

Xeon X3470 - Good 4 years ago.
Processors

— It's the best performer for the old, old Socket H1/LGA 1156, and it's useful for turning an old SFF (let's say, like an HP Compaq Elite 8100), into a gaming system (if you're insane enough), or into a little server useful for small things like Minecraft! It's a great buy if you want to modernize a LGA 1156 system since it's around $15 today. Just remember it doesn't have integrated graphics.

— It's good enough to get it done, but that's it.

The Best.
