G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL7D-8GBXH

Pros: Worked, Good timings, No problems

Cons: None

Overall Review: Probably bought G.Skill over a dozen times. always good always works.

Great OS

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit 1-Pack for System Builders
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit 1-Pack for System Builders

Pros: Well laid out. Windows media center is great. found almost all my drivers first install. the one it didnt find was the New Nec Sata 6.

Cons: Cant install on every unit in my home.

Overall Review: Installed super slow but may have been my Blu ray drive.

NIce Box

Cooler Master Storm Scout SGC-2000-KKA3-GP Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case w/ Cooler Master RS700-PCAAE3-US 700W Power Supply
Cooler Master Storm Scout SGC-2000-KKA3-GP Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case w/ Cooler Master RS700-PCAAE3-US 700W Power Supply

Pros: Good Case, Lots of room. Power supply is good quality. Like the tool less design and the side load hard drives.

Cons: Cable management is tough, but when is it not. The fan are built into a switch on the front panel to turn off the Lights so you cant use the Mobo Sys fan pins if you decide to keep this feature. Plenty of options to install more fans though.

Overall Review: Love the Handle. My Mobo had the sata plugs turned sideways, not the best case for that design since the hard drive cage blocks the satta connectors.

Sweet board

GIGABYTE GA-890GPA-UD3H AM3 AMD 890GX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Booted right up. No problems overclocking. Great board.

Cons: I knew the sata ports were on their side but i didn't know it would be such a hassle to connect 2 side by side.

Overall Review: Tons of features I'll never use. the Giga byte software that came on the disk are buggy, If you can.....avoid them. The overclock program would only load about half the time and it never saved any profile correctly. The bios has a ton of Voltage features so its no problem doing manual OC. Reviews had me Very worried. I have built 7 pcs with gigabyte boards and they all where great. This is a high Quality board.

Just a sata 2
