Pros: Fast, stable, and comparably affordable. You get the best of all worlds with this kit.

Cons: DDR4 in general is quite expensive. Regardless, it's well worth the money as an initial investment if you are moving to a newer platform that leverage it.

Overall Review: Usually I'm a Corsair customer. Nothing against them really, but their kits were just a bit more expensive and I had always heard good things with regard to G.Skill so I figured I'd give them a try this time around. I'm glad I did. The kit itself is a handsome, sporting black heat spreaders that don't tower above everything else in your case. The PCB seems to be fairly solid as does the construction of the units. Altogether, they look and feel very nice. G.Skill's forums are responsive and filled with knowledgeable users as well as experienced technicians. If you need any guidance, you are sure to find it.

Pros: This is a feature packed board, sporting the most recent technologies available to the PC enthusiast. The topology of the board is also well designed. But don't get your hopes too high.

Cons: Dead on arrival. Like many others, this board did not work when I finally got it. I have called newegg in hopes for an RMA but now need to wait for a call back from one of their technicians. This is a huge disappointment. The last 3 systems I have built had no hitches at all spare bios updates. I expected better than this. Especially coming from a company as touted as Asus not to mention the hefty coin I dropped for this motherboard. The largest disappointment I've had in purchasing computer components in years.

Overall Review: Do not buy this motherboard. It is overpriced, is frequently broken upon arrival, and overall a huge disappointment to any PC enthusiast looking forward to the x99 platform. If you are looking to game on x99, there are boards half the cost and with better failure rates than this cashmere computing piece of junk and will ultimately meet your needs.

Pros: • Rock solid stability • Attractive Price • Stays cool with/without great air flow

Cons: None

Overall Review: Received this kit as a gift while building my current machine about 2 years ago. While running an i7 930 at 3.6Ghz and the memory at its max settings ( timings: 9, 9, 9, 24 speed: 1333Mhz) this memory provides stability that is rock solid. No bsod. No hitches or glitches along the way. I highly recommend this kit.

Pros: This cooler keeps my i7 920 cores at 29°C to 33°C idle and under load at about 42°C to 45°C on stock clock speeds for the FSB. Additionally, I think this is a handsome looking piece with the black finish, fin design and shape, and the LED lights. All the parts and screws for the installation were well labeled and easy to locate for your particular socket (mine being LGA 1366) and this unit supports a wide range of sockets out there right now, which is nice to see from a cooling unit if you decide to reuse it.

Cons: It is a larger cooler to use and now makes it a touch more difficult to maneuver inside my case. I had to remove my side case fan (not too big a deal) in my Antec 1200 case. Also, I think they could have spared a bit more thermal paste in the event of difficulty applying it. This did happen to me. Additionally, they suggest in the instructions to spread the thermal paste, which is nearly impossible to do. I suggest just allowing the heat-sink to spread the paste when you screw it down as this will leave fewer air pockets and bubbles in the paste and you will overall have a better heat transfer between the CPU, paste, and cooler.

Overall Review: I haven't over-clocked just yet, but I imagine that this cooler would keep pace with most over-clocking needs. I'm not sure that increasing the fan speed with this unit would actually produce better cooling, but it does produce more noise. Not saying it won't, just haven't tested that yet. Overall, I would highly recommend this unit to anyone looking for a great cooler.

Pros: Very solid performance from this card for a very attractive price. 2-way SLI performance scales very well and is still within the affordable range.

Cons: Tri-SLI performance scaling leaves a bit to be desired considering the cost of 3 cards.

Overall Review: These cards suck up 36 amps off of your 12-volt rail so be sure to keep that in mind when deciding on a power supply. As with most graphics cards these days, these are large cards and you will want to check your case size twice before you purchase and build your pc.
