ASUS GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 Video Card GTX650TI-O-1GD5
ASUS GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 Video Card GTX650TI-O-1GD5

Pros: -Performs well -Great temperatures (20C at 13% fan speed, 30C at 25% fan speed and gaming) -Runs very high to ultra @ 720p -Runs Medium - high @ 1080p -Quiet, my hard drive is now my loudest part in my case

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: I bought the card and a new 500w power supply a while ago now and the card is very strong, especially for the price I got it at. The card is amazing for a sub $200 card and is definitely great for 720p - 1080p gaming. The card is the bare minimum for features like physx, 1080p, and 3D vision.

Great case, do not buy Bitfenix fans for it

Thermaltake Chaser A71 VP400M1W2N Black SECC ATX Full Tower Case
Thermaltake Chaser A71 VP400M1W2N Black SECC ATX Full Tower Case

Pros: Great looking and good build quality Attractive side steel side panels Large window Lots of space Great air flow.

Cons: The top 200mm fan slot DOES NOT work with Bitfenix Spectre Pro LED fans. (See other thoughts)

Overall Review: I bought this case as an upgrade from my $50 Thermaltake Commander MS-I. The case is of much higher quality, it is much more attractive, and is a lot larger. The extra space helped drop my GPU idle temperature 5 C. The only problem I have had thus far is with the top fan mount. I picked up 5 Bitfenix Red Led fans to replace the stock fans. Once I mounted the fan in the proper holes the top cover wouldn't go on, I took a look and the Bitfenix fan was covering one of the holes for the top cover to snap back into. I tried the other 6 mounting spots on the bitfenix fan in various holes on the top of the case, I found a spot that allowed no holes to be covered however only 2 screws could be installed, the issue with this is the fan gets stuck and won't spin up. Do yourself a favor if you buy this case, buy thermaltake luna fans if you are going to replace the stock ones.

Great mouse so far worth more than $30.

GIGABYTE M6900 Metal Black 7 Buttons Tilt Wheel USB Wired Optical 3200 dpi Gaming Mouse
GIGABYTE M6900 Metal Black 7 Buttons Tilt Wheel USB Wired Optical 3200 dpi Gaming Mouse

Pros: -Price -Comfortable -Performance -Features

Cons: -Doesn't come with a software disk, however it is easy to install the drivers off the gigabyte website. -Right handed mouse (See other thoughts)

Overall Review: I got the mouse the other day and I am rather impressed so far. The mouse is comfortable after long hours and is a perfect weight and size for my taste. The mouse has lots of great features for a mouse of its price and is the first non-basic mouse I have owned. It even comes with a case to move it around in, it is a similar case material of a glasses case. To wrap up the cord is a good length not too long, but long enough to reach some distance, the ergonomics on it are completely right handed (this doesn't affect me since I am right handed), and the DPI profiles allow me to switch between my gaming and browsing sensitivities with ease, the only thing I wished for was adjustable color on the led's however the mouse was $30 so it wasn't expected.

Thermaltake Commander Series VN40006W2N White / Black SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Thermaltake Commander Series VN40006W2N White / Black SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: -Price -Size -Noise reduction -Color Scheme

Cons: Nothing at its price.

Overall Review: I pick the case up for $80 after tax and with 3 bitfenix fans. The computer is extremely quiet, the case is a nice size and is able to fit tall CPU coolers and long GPU's. The only thing that would have been nice is rubber to cover the cable management holes, but the case was sub $60 so I can't take an egg for it.
