Excellent

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 - Core 2 Quad Kentsfield Quad-Core 2.4 GHz LGA 775 105W Processor - BX80562Q6600
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 - Core 2 Quad Kentsfield Quad-Core 2.4 GHz LGA 775 105W Processor - BX80562Q6600

Pros: Having purchased this processor for a custom build in 2007, I am still amazed at what it can handle in 2014. If you're trying to build a PC on a budget and can get your hands on one of these it will be well worth the money.

Cons: Motherboards which support this chip-set are becoming scarce and expensive.

Pretty bad

WHITE NAFFEE Iron Man G5 2.4GHz Wireless 2400DPI 6D 6 Buttons Optical Usb Dongle Cordless Gaming Mouse - with Silence Buttons - High-Precision - No Light Sensor plus Auto Sleep Function
WHITE NAFFEE Iron Man G5 2.4GHz Wireless 2400DPI 6D 6 Buttons Optical Usb Dongle Cordless Gaming Mouse - with Silence Buttons - High-Precision - No Light Sensor plus Auto Sleep Function

Pros: It looks like Iron Man.

Cons: The mouse feels very cheaply made, the LED lights are quite dull, and the mouse makes the pointer jump around randomly sometimes. It's really not worth the 12 bucks.

Overall Review: Get something else.

Nice performance, great cooling

EVGA 01G-P4-2757-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 750 1GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 FTW w/ ACX Cooler Video Card
EVGA 01G-P4-2757-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 750 1GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 FTW w/ ACX Cooler Video Card

Pros: Dual fans provide an excellent amount of airflow, while being very quiet. For me the card stays below 30C at ide. It can also run most games at medium settings or higher and remain in the 40C-60C range.

Cons: The 1 GB memory is not really enough for AAA gaming anymore. Textures have become too rich, and can quickly fill the on board memory.

Overall Review: This card provides amazing value. It stays quite cool, even under load, while making very little noise. I honestly can't hear this card unless I've removed the panels on my case. The fans also seem like they're very good quality. I purchased this card to replace a HIS IceQ Turbo H677QNT1GD Radeon HD 6770 1GB , whose single fan stopped functioning due to poor lubrication and proceeded to cook itself. If you're going to do a lot of gaming I might suggest EVGA 02G-P4-2966-KR GeForce GTX 960 Gaming 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5. It's a bit more expensive, but the extra memory will keep you from having to upgrade anytime soon.

Good performance, but poor quality

Pros: The card provides a nice bang for the buck.

Cons: The fan on this card is very very cheap. Not only is it a bit loud, but it will unexpectedly fail. After a few months of having the card I got used to its whir. The sound quickly turned into background noise until I got accustomed to it. Then I suddenly noticed the sound was gone. I open my case and see that the fan is barely spinning. Just doing a lazy little twirl, barely moving air around. I quickly downloaded a temperature application to monitor my system and saw that the card was at 80C, on IDLE. I take the card out, stupidly burning my fingers on the heat pipes and proceed to study the fan. It's nothing but a blade mounted on top of a greased post. I re-greased the post and the card returned to sub 50C temps. Which didn't last very long at all. And I found my self re-greasing the stem less than a month later.

Overall Review: Save yourself the head ache of dealing with a shoddy cooling system and get a different brand. I'm personally staying away from HIS from now on. Thought I was saving a bit of money, but it only turned out to be more expensive in the end.

Works just as described

SAMSUNG 840 Series 2.5" 120GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7TD120BW

Pros: Quick response time Stays cool No noise Small size

Cons: 120gb, and around 10-20% will be taken up with the OS + updates. I should have thought of this ahead of time and purchased a larger storage size, but that is my fault and not the manufacturer's.

Overall Review: Very good product. I would be wary of using it as my a primary drive since the capacity is so small. But that all depends on the type of user you are.

Amazing

Pros: The screen is just amasing, the brightness and clarity of the picture far surpass what I had invisioned for this product.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: I still haven't tried the speakers, but that's because I have my own set . Would definetly recommend to anyone.
