Most Favorable Review

Best air cooler on the market.

GIGABYTE Radeon R9 280X 3GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Video Card GV-R928XOC-3GD REV2

Pros: Great rebranded 7970 with the most powerful gpu/vrm cooler available. With this cooler expect clocks above 1200 core and above 6000 ram. I ran 3dmark11 and scored in the top 10 percentile with a 7950 with this cooler. You can get crazy overclocks. Gigabyte has been the leader in aftermarket pcb's and coolers since they released the first winforce based card.

Cons: None. This IS the brand to buy hands down.

Overall Review: The two 'one star' wonders sound like nvidia fan boys to me. Don't pay them any mind.

Great CPU but terribly over priced.

Intel Core i7-2700K - Core i7 2nd Gen Sandy Bridge Quad-Core 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 95W Intel HD Graphics 3000 Desktop Processor - BX80623i72700K

Pros: This CPU easily overclocks to 5+ghz on air IF you know what you are doing. Paired with a high end motherboard and graphics card, there is nothing it can't handle.

Cons: This isn't a con of the CPU but, I paid $229 for my 2700K. The price Newegg is selling it for is ridiculously high.

Overall Review: Great CPU but not worth $350 bones.
