Amazing!

EVGA GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) 1280MB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card 012-P3-1570-AR
EVGA GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) 1280MB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card 012-P3-1570-AR

Pros: Awesome video card, owned for more than a year and no issues whatsoever. Easy to download updates. Can handle any game I play ie BF3, MW3, SWTOR, all at max video settings with no lag :D

Cons: Can't think of any

Overall Review: Can handle pretty much any current popular game. You don't need to spend a bajillion dollars on some crazy video card, this one is fairly priced and meets the demands of every game I play

Most Critical Review

could have been better

GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Good cost for all the features

Cons: 1. First thing I noticed was a buzzing and popping from my speakers and headset after installing the latest audio drivers from the website. So i uninstalled them and fixed that. 2. Will not run my ram at its rated speed and clock. I have ram rated for 1600 9-9-9-24, it only wants it to run at 1333 10-10-10-24. My old mobo worked fine with this ram. Any attempt to set it to the stock speed would cause it to not post, or crash just after post, or bsod in windows. 3. OVERCLOCKING: Will not over clock worth anything. I have overclocked may a CPU, I had high hopes with all the praise from this bored and my CPU choice a FX-8120, but even the smallest amount of multiplier increases has brought on the BSOD. Changing the FSB at all will cause a no post. 4. Once I gave up on my overclocking hopes and hit the load fail safe defaults, apparently the bios thinks that means i want to jump my voltage from 1.4 to 1.7. That almost fried my cpu witch was running at a nice 24c idle, jumped to 80c.

Overall Review: Will be RMAing it to get another motherboard

Meh

Corsair Vengeance 1500 v2 USB Connector Circumaural Dolby 7.1 Gaming Headset
Corsair Vengeance 1500 v2 USB Connector Circumaural Dolby 7.1 Gaming Headset

Pros: Great sound

Cons: Everything else. It's top heavy so it will make the top of your head hurt. Also the ear pieces rotate backwards so whenever you try to take them off they fly off your head. Also the volume control on the wire is ultra sensitive, so even if it gently taps on something it mutes you :| Also not as aesthetically pleasing irl as it is in the picture...

Overall Review: I would not recommend buying this headset. The fact that it flies off your head whenever you're taking it off is so incredibly annoying, even if everything else about it was perfect I still wouldn't recommend it

Great Monitor!

ASUS VE248H 24" Full HD 1920 x 1080 D-Sub, DVI, HDMI Built-in Speakers Asus Eye Care with Ultra Low-Blue Light & Flicker-Free LED Backlight Monitor
ASUS VE248H 24" Full HD 1920 x 1080 D-Sub, DVI, HDMI Built-in Speakers Asus Eye Care with Ultra Low-Blue Light & Flicker-Free LED Backlight Monitor

Pros: Large screen, light compared to older models, less bulky, thinner frame, settings buttons easier to press, great HD quality

Cons: Navigating settings with monitor buttons are still annoying

Overall Review: I really like this monitor! Obviously my favorite thing is how less bulky it is than older Asus monitors. The one con, even though the monitor buttons protrude so they are much easier to press, navigating the actual settings is still annoyingly difficult. Otherwise great monitor! I especially love watching HD videos and movies on it

Great Keyboard, Cruddy Software

Logitech G510 Keyboard
Logitech G510 Keyboard

Pros: Easy to program macro keys, custom-color backlight, RIDICIULOUS amount of macros to customize XD, when it isn't glitching the LCD game panel is cool with vent and itunes, keys are easy to pop off when cleaning, and the volume adjuster us not nearly as clutchy as its predecessor

Cons: The software crashes CONSTANTLY! As in at LEAST once a day, which means you can't change settings or profiles, which is extremely annoying and a huge turn off. Also as mentioned above the LCD game panel is glitchy most of the time, though I don't know if maybe I got a defective keyboard or an all around defect. Also the ports for your headset and mic are picky. Jiggle them a tiny bit and it acts like you disconnected them, which in turn "restarts" the keyboard, also extremely annoying :|

Overall Review: Physically it's a good keyboard, keys are easy to press, they don't get sticky and are easy to clean. The software is a hot mess and a huge turn off. If I knew that it would be this way I would have gone with another keyboard. The LCD panel looks cool and IS cool when it works, but don't buy this thing if that's the only thing between this and another keyboard, it's not worth it. The massive amount of macro keys is awesome though, and easy to program :)

Amazing mouse

Logitech G500 Black Chrome 10 Buttons Dual-mode Scroll Wheel USB Wired Laser 5700 dpi Gaming Mouse
Logitech G500 Black Chrome 10 Buttons Dual-mode Scroll Wheel USB Wired Laser 5700 dpi Gaming Mouse

Pros: Fits comfortably in your hand, slides around easy, adjustable weight, adjustable sensitivity, you can unlock the scroll wheel so it free spins, wire covering is sturdy, and 3 extra buttons you can bind and customize

Cons: It's not very pretty, looks like it got burnt. Also though the wire covering is sturdy, it gets caught on pretty much everything

Overall Review: Awesome mouse overall, just not very aesthetically pleasing, but does the job at a great price
