Rosewill PHOTON Series 650W Full Modular Gaming Power Supply, 80 PLUS Gold Certified, Single +12V Rail, SLI & Crossfire Ready - Photon-650

Pros: It works the modular cables make it a plus and the fan on the power supply is not as loud as I thought. The power flow is smooth and constant with no hiccups.

Cons: Yeah the cable for the Mobo is stiff but can't take an egg away for that

Overall Review: its early have to see what happens after 6 months to a year

Quick Boot

Pros: No issues installing windows on this SSD and boot up times are practically under 10 seconds

Cons: Running out of space already but not the SSD fault no reason to minus an egg for that. I cant find any faults with this SSD.

Overall Review: The next Intel SSD i will buy will have to be 250 Gig or higher

Fast

CORSAIR Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMY16GX3M2A1600C9R (Red)

Pros: These sticks aren't the fastest but they get the job done. I have these in my dedicated Gaming Rig at the moment

Cons: Cant find any as of yet

Overall Review: Will most likely buy another 16 Gig to make my Gaming Rig 32 Gig

Mighty Mouse

Pros: Nice and tight I bought this case to use as my gaming rig single video card set up. I works for me it does what it needs to do

Cons: Its just tight, water cooling two video cards and the processor chip would be a challenge. The power supply cables would get in the way of your first card. No reason to minus an egg for that its a micro atx case you should know what your getting into before hand.

Overall Review: Would buy another one for a server rig

Not Bad

Intel Core i5-4460 - Core i5 4th Gen Haswell Quad-Core 3.2 GHz LGA 1150 84W Intel HD Graphics 4600 Desktop Processor - BX80646I54460
Intel Core i5-4460 - Core i5 4th Gen Haswell Quad-Core 3.2 GHz LGA 1150 84W Intel HD Graphics 4600 Desktop Processor - BX80646I54460

Pros: I am using this bad boy chip on my gaming rig and even though its not unlocked it does the job. I am using the heat sink that came with the chip. I am not interested in overclocking

Cons: its locked and for some reason I had a tough time getting the plastic screws to set on my motherboard.

Overall Review: Not a bad price

Great Drive

BitFenix Prodigy Midnight Black Steel / Plastic Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case
BitFenix Prodigy Midnight Black Steel / Plastic Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case

Pros: Purchased this drive to get all my TV shows and Movies off my laptop Once connected to your pc it will search for drivers and may take a few minutes. After installing the Western Digital Encryption software on your pc you can have the passport drive auto unlock for your particular pc only. Any other pc you will obviously have to enter your password which is no biggie. Transfer speeds are not bad since the drive have USB 3 considering I am transferring large files.

Cons: Only have 930 Gigs but won't take any eggs off for that. I purchase only Western Digital for reliability. After disconnecting the hard drive and reconnecting it will search for drivers for almost a minute.

Overall Review: None for now
