Pros: The absolute fastest single 7200 rpm hard drive i ahve ever seen, i get about 200 megabytes/s consecutive read/write on this and that is just simply amazing. It has a whopping 1 tb (may not be a lot for others, but plenty for me). its built solid, and it doesnt get all that hot

Cons: a little pricey, but if you wanted to get these speeds with that amount of size for the same price, you would have a hard time doing that.

Overall Review: this is just a wonderful product, even though it is optimized for video surveillance, this serves well as a primary os drive

Pros: 3.4 ghz is plenty. compares to my i5-3570k at stock speeds in single/double threaded applications considering same speed. great for moderate gaming without breaking the bank,

Cons: not unlocked (well duh), not a 16 core/32 threads :)

Overall Review: paired with a 60 dollar asrock board and some vulcan memory for an unbeatable combo at that price

Pros: 512 stream processors, really cheap for the performance. good for moderate gaming on medium/high settings. runs about 90-100 KH/s on scrypt mining

Cons: not a 7990, 780ti, and a 290x combined into one giant card for a fraction of the price

Overall Review: great budget build card, but the 7790 might be a better choice if you have a slightly larger budget.

Pros: i haven't had this power supply for long but knowing that evga is a trusted company i would hope this lasts a while, its a decent amount of watts at a cheap price and its built sturdy.

Cons: not modular? not 9000 watts?

Overall Review: very good for a budget build, definitely recommended.

Pros: very nice case, not too shabby compared to my fractal design define r4 which i paid over 4 times the price for. i got this on sale for about 25 dollars after mail in rebate which i still have to send in actually

Cons: front led on fan is a bit bright? thats about it

Overall Review: perfect budget build item, do buy

Pros: work out of the box no problem, pretty sure it registered as 1600 mhz asap, cheap for the amount of ram, nice heatsinks,

Cons: none

Overall Review: havent tried overclocking yet, but i mean, unless you are running an amd apu, you probably dont need to overclock
