Pros: -Price -Performance -Quiet Pump -Cam software -Long tubes -6 YEAR WARRANTY!!!

Cons: -Not a huge con but no LED's though I knew this already, NZXT only offers the LED's on their 140/280mm AIO's (ex. x41 and x61) -Though the Cam software is awesome and helpful you can't really fully control the pump though if you mess around with fan curves and other things it will adjust to the proper RPM

Overall Review: I used this on a reference powercolor r9 290 that I bought at the same time with this X31, the white G10 kit, Noctua 92mm fan (replace stock g10 fan) and the GELID heatsinks, and a bitfenix 120mm green LED spectre pwm fan (green theme) and man is it rocking! I did try out the reference cooler just to witness the jet engine noise and within 5 minutes of playing SWTOR it sounded like a hair dryer at full blast. But now with this water cooling setup its SUPER quiet and SUPER cool. My card never goes above 57 degrees now when it use to go to the 90s easily. The pump on the X31 on the first start up makes a lot of noise for a few minutes but than it becomes pretty quiet. Its one of the quietest pumps I've heard, much quieter than any of the coolermasters AIO's. If your looking for a 120mm AIO than you can't go wrong with this one, keeps my 290 cool and would probably keep cpu's super cool as well plus you can't beat the 6 year warranty!

Pros: What can I say, its a 144hz, 1ms monitor that is dirt cheap and awesome! (I got this when it was on sale for $169)

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: I know its a little early for a review but I felt like reviewing it anyway. This is a TN panel not an IPS which isn't bad. I'm coming from a LG 27MP65 monitor which is a 1920x1080 27" IPS 60 hz monitor. This monitors colors aren't as good as my LG's but I've gotten it super close to it! (brightness 45, contrast 5, color setting - user) I must say the trade off is worth it. 144hz is amazing for gaming and I can notice the difference easily over 60hz. 1ms is a lot better than the LG's 5-6ms and the pixel density is slightly better being 24" vs 27" for 1080p. I would've loved to buy one of those 4ms IPS 144hz that Asus, BenQ, and others make but I don't feel like dishing out $600+ for one right now. I'll probably get one once 1440p monitors become more mainstream than 1080p and cheaper. So if your a gamer that wants 144hz and has a small budget, get this monitor especially if its on sale! If your worried about the color/picture quality, don't worry some tweaking on your part in the monitor's menu will help a lot!

Pros: -Comes with 2 for $15 -Very quiet -Moves a lot of air

Cons: None really. Obviously these are just plain black fans so no fancy leds or anything. The cables aren't sleeved but they are black/dark grey wires so they still look good in a case so not a con

Overall Review: I have the GX700 case from Antec which came with 2 140mm fans and 1 120mm. I'm utilizing the fans that they came with and they move decent airflow and are quiet but once of my 140's stopped working and the other one developed a clicking sound if your 7w+ so I needed replacements. These fit the bill cause their plain black and came with 2 fans. They actually have more blades than the antec ones and push waaaaay more air and are quieter than the stock antec ones. These fans are fantastic! So if your like me where your stock fans stop working or simply want to add more fans to a case without leds (assuming you don't have a window or just dont want leds) than these are your fans! they are a steal!

Pros: -MSI Twin Frozr V cooler -Super quiet fans -Awesome, unique gold edition -Nice backplate with holes for ventilation and a gold dragon logo on it -Msi Logo lights up white, perfect brightness -Full copper heatsink

Cons: This is one of the heaviest cards I've ever held, but its because the full copper heatsink plus the card comes with a backplate so it doesn't sag or droop at all so not really a con

Overall Review: I've bought MSI gpu's before for builds for my friends but this is the first one for myself and I love it! I had an EVGA GTX 780 6gb SC which was amazing but I didn't know if it was a driver or the card but in certain games after one of the driver updates but it would micro stutter and tear real bad in games like SWTOR, Skyrim, and Titanfall. I sold that to a friend and ended up with a Powercolor R9 290 and installed the Kraken g10 + gelid heatsink+Zalman lq310 cooler and it was better than my 780 and got a decent overclock on it, but it had minor micro stuttering in rare cases so it was alright. But I decided to liquid cool my 3770k to see if I can get pass 4.4 with a Thermaltake NIC f3 (have it up to 4.7 now with a kraken x31) so in my Antec GX700, having two 120mm water coolers was too much clutter and restricted airflow. As soon as I seen this gold edition 970 I bought it and love it to death. All the stuttering I had before with my 290 and 780 doesn't exist anymore with this 970 and it eats everything up. Plus its quieter than the other cards and sightly shorter too. Now I want a new case with a window to show it off. I haven't overclocked yet cause I don't need to but I probably will in a few weeks for kicks and giggles. As soon as my friend buys my 290, I'm getting another for sli. BUY THIS CARD!!!

Pros: -Noticeably faster than my prior i5 3470 -My chip overclocks to 4.0 with no voltage changes, 4.1 with +0.020 on vcore and currently 4.3 at 1.260 vcore -Gained 2-5 max fps, 4-10 minimum fps (depends on game)

Cons: The killer $300+ price tage. Ivy 1155 has been out for 2 years now they need to lower the price. You can get a haswell or ivy-e for the same or cheaper but I would have to buy a new motherboard which I don't feel like doing right now

Overall Review: A lot of people say if you already have a sandy or ivy i5 don't bother upgrading to the i7. Well in most cases you wont see much difference but between my i5 3470 with the multiplier at max (x38) vs this at stock 3.5 is shocking. I have an EVGA gtx 780 sc 6gb gpu and my i5 would struggle in rare cases in SWTOR, Crysis 3, and BF4 online because there would be a little micro stuttering at high-ultra settings. Put the i7 in and it went all away. Plus I wanted to utilize my overclocking abilities so that's why I upgraded and i wasn't going to upgrade from an i5 3470 to an i5 3570k...why? Also I plan on getting a new cpu and motherboard when either haswells devils canyon comes out or better yet broadwell or maybe even ivy-e. Going to wait on DDR4 for at least 5 years my team 2666 ram rocks. All in all if you have a lga 1155 and want to upgrade get an i7 and if you have a z75/z68/z77 board get the k edition -i7 3770k -Thermaltake Nic F3 + MX-4 -Gigabyte z77x-ud4h -Team Xtreem 2666 16gb (white) -EVGA GTX 780 6gb SC ACX -Corsair AX850 -Samsung EVO 250gb -Crucial M500 240gb -Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD

Pros: -Great options and quality for the price -Smoked side window with fan slot -Black/blue theme -PLENTY of room for super long graphic cards -Great airflow -Stock fan works very well

Cons: This was my first case and I've owned it for over a year now but I found its little flaws: -The fins on the side window fan mount make a wine noise so go for a quiet fan if you use it -Can't remove hdd bay -Can't remove stock fan (originally wanted to do a red theme but couldnt) -No rubber on bottom stands, which is an easy fix but should be a standard by now -NO FRONT INTAKE DUST FILTERS!!! If my computer was upstairs it would be fine but in my basement it gets really dusty really fast -Not a whole lot of room for cable management. You have to utilize the space in the extended "C" shape on the side panel. I HIGHLY recommend a fully modular psu with flat cables or get a individual sleeved cable kit. You can get by with regular cables but it takes a little extra time, patience, and elbow grease to get it to work.

Overall Review: I'm still giving this case 4 eggs because for my first case and my budget at the time it was perfect but now that I've had it for a while I know what I really need. Some of the cons were just my opinions but the dust filter and cable management can be a problem. If your not too worried about dust or don't have a lot of dust in your home and you have a psu with flat or individual sleeved cables, this is the case to buy!
