AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core 4.0 GHz (4.2 GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W FD8350FRHKBOX Desktop Processor

Cons: none

Most Critical Review

Will not last long after warrentee

Cyber Acoustics CA3001WB 14 Watts 2.1 Speakers
Cyber Acoustics CA3001WB 14 Watts 2.1 Speakers

Pros: Good price. Great for simple desktop audio. Mechanical volume and separate bass adjust knobs. Sub-woofer can be unplugged and not used if desired without cutting any cables.

Cons: Sub started to rumble after about 1.4 years of moderate desktop use (had to unplug the sub and use the speakers them selves), then the regular speakers started to crackle obnoxiously after another 0.2 years.

Overall Review: This item now resides in my scrap bin after only 1.6 years or service.

Okay keyboard

Pros: All keys still work after 2.5 years of use. Haven't found a modern BIOS that couldn't recognize it.

Cons: Function key where left ctrl should be.

990FX R2.0

ASUS TUF SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
ASUS TUF SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: Its Asus. Bios with many bells and whistles (hard OS is a cinch, recovery from bad OS build with press of a button).

Cons: Not a fan of the angled SATA mounts. Prone to bad connection if not using a locking SATA cable. 2 of the 6 SATA ports don't recognize every type of device through BIOS. Very difficult to get Crossfire to be recognized at pcie2.0 x16 for the second GPU board. You need to finagle the board many times with many reboots to get good contact on the tan x16 slot further from the CPU. Onboard audio failed after 1 year. Onboard LAN port burned out after 1.8 years. (literally saw arching of surface mount caps) There must be some sort of grounding issue, that or just sloppy soldering to cause the failure of the on board peripherals.

Overall Review: I have all my items plugged through a surge protecting power-strip. Too lazy to do a warrentee call on this for the failed peripherals since I was able to just put a new audio card on a expansion slot and use a USB3.0 to LAN dongle to make up for the failed hardware. Who knows how much down time Ill have while waiting for them to fix this or confirm that the hardware is failed and send me a new one.
