A Great Duel Core CPU

AMD A4-6300 - A4 Series Richland Dual-Core 3.7 GHz Socket FM2 65W AMD Radeon HD 8370D Desktop Processor - AD6300OKHLBOX

Pros: This is a fast CPU. I personally am pleased with it. Came in good condition, and it does and has been doing it's job for a little over a year now :) Would choose over an expensive Intel chip any day.

Cons: Now, I know there are many who complain about AMD's heat sinks, and I have to admit they kinda have a right too :/ The CPU get's in the high 70 degrees Celsius range when under stress, and recently my computer was getting random restarts from heat. When it was causing restarts, the heatsink was full of dog hair, so I'm not going to say it doesn't do it's job under normal circumstances, but remember that it's mediocre at it's best.

Overall Review: If you're the kinda person who likes after market heat sinks, get one for this. If you aren't, you should be fine. It's really just up to you.

Boot times? What boot times?

Pros: Very fast, Easy to install, and I've had no problems with it.

Cons: None that I can think of :)

Overall Review: I'm using this really only for my operating system. I have an external USB HDD for my other stuff / games. If you're contemplating this because it's cheaper than a 120Gb SSD, just remember, 60 gigs go really fast :/ By the time I had installed the operating system and other essentials, I had about 18 or so gigs left to use for fun things... Just be aware of that.

Some Good 'Ol RAM

Pros: It's RAM. It may not be considered pretty RAM, but is there really such thing as ugly RAM? Hey, it's got a wonderful green color XD Like I said though, it's RAM. It get's the job done, and 4 gigs will be more than enough for most people.

Cons: It's RAM. It does what it does, I haven't had any problems with it :)

Overall Review: Very niiice. I like. I recommend it.

A Very Nice 600W PSU

Pros: I'm very happy with my purchase. Although I was still kinda lazy and didn't really organize the cables after I installed it, this PSU was very easy to work with while plugging everything in. It's VERY quiet. There's no noise when powering on. Only the click of my power button. My last PSU was a cheap chinese thing that greeted me everyday with the song of it's people; very loud, constant coil whine. Sometimes it would also give me the gift of random restarts, which were always fun. Getting this was a very big relief. No longer having to worry about my computer exploding is very nice :) This is a very quiet, stable PSU.

Cons: Nah, I'm pretty happy :)

Overall Review: Friends, although the allure of a no-name, ~$20.00, 600W PSU from an online auction site may seem to strong to resist, please resist it. If you give in, you will regret. Don't skimp out on your power supply friends XD
