Pros: Great processor with plenty of speed. I was used to a couple of minute wait to get my computer started up and now it seems like I just turn around and there it is.

Cons: None

Most Critical Review

Worked great

Mushkin Enhanced Silverline 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model 996770

Pros: One memory board worked great.

Cons: One of the memory boards was defective and had to be returned.

Overall Review: I wanted to get the desktop together and found one of the memory boards to be defective. Went to a local store to get new memory and get this computer up and running. I wanted to return these memory boards for a refund but found out I would lose the combo discount if I didn't take replacement boards. So now I have to send these defective ones back, wait for the new ones and try to get my money back for the ones I just bought.

Great motherboard

Pros: Great motherboard and a very good price.

Cons: Had a slight issue with it showing a power surge. Disabled anti-surge support and this seems to be a common problem.

Great speed
