Great

AMD Athlon II X4 620 - Athlon II X4 Propus Quad-Core 2.6 GHz Socket AM3 95W Processor - ADX620WFGIBOX
AMD Athlon II X4 620 - Athlon II X4 Propus Quad-Core 2.6 GHz Socket AM3 95W Processor - ADX620WFGIBOX

Pros: Havn't had time to OC it very much, but easy to get to 3+ Cost being $90 is attractive Great performance as well.

Cons: Only has SSE4a. Unfortunate that AMD and Intel aren't both doing at least some sharing here. But not enough to dock an egg.

Overall Review: People with good understanding of computer hardware should know the more expensive versions (630, 635, etc.) are just by default clocked higher and you can save some money by getting this one and OCing it.

I feel bad for stealing from Samsung

SAMSUNG 4GB DDR3L 1600 (PC3L 12800) Desktop Memory Model MV-3V4G3/US
SAMSUNG 4GB DDR3L 1600 (PC3L 12800) Desktop Memory Model MV-3V4G3/US

Pros: -Overclock to 2130 @ 10-10-10-28 1T @ 1.5V -So....so small! Amazing! -At this time (May 7, 2012) price. $25 for individual stick, $45 for a pair. -So incredibly cool.

Cons: No 8GB sticks that I could find.

Overall Review: For being such great clockers, they are NOT hot. At all. My laptop brick idling gets more hot. My overclock was just a rough guess of how well these would do. I just stuck it at that level, stability tested, and went off to do my business. Seriously, I have no idea why 1. Samsung sells these at such a low price 2. Samsung rates them at such incredibly loose speeds/timings by default I feel like I should give them more money for these. Its alright though, I have many other Samsung products in my house. I'm no fanboy though. Also, yes Tech Knowledge 5. A+ cert. What's good.

Fantastic

Logitech Z523 40 Watts RMS 2.1 Speaker System
Logitech Z523 40 Watts RMS 2.1 Speaker System

Pros: Bought somewhere else for the same price as Newegg, and they ROCK. Really, wattage looks wimpy but sure doesn't sound like it. Have to turn it down during the night by alot. Volume and Bass dials are good.

Cons: sound quality is good, but seem to have more deep tones, even when the sub is adjusted or turned all the way down. Not too bad though, for normal users. Wires are a little short to put one on each side of a desk, but manageable.

Pretty good

MSI 770T-C45 AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard
MSI 770T-C45 AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Ram Slots are far enough away to allow my large air cooler (XT-1264) Good amount of USB ports (expandable to way more too) SATA slots are not by the video card Model number is easy to read PS/2 ports 3 PCI ports for all your goodies.

Cons: NB heatsink could be a little bigger Odd shape. Didn't cause a problem but plugging in the 24pin power was sketchy. More in other thoughts Serial port? Why? Audio port should be in an easier location. I can't plug a 3rd PCI card in with this plugged in. Would rather have it by the USB and front connection plugins.

Overall Review: The mobo is some weird shape. Only 1/2 inch away from reaching the 3rd screw slot, which would have made me feel safer, but so far there has been nothing noticeably negative. My fault for not seeing this in the specs.

Glad to have it..

Enzotech Type-Z 1366 Retention Module
Enzotech Type-Z 1366 Retention Module

Pros: Worked for me

Cons: Should come by default with the block. Instructions confusing.

Overall Review: But it does work. Also, that ring you see is kinda wide, and low to the board. If you have any large capacitors or other things like that, be careful getting this.

Utterly fantastic

Enzotech Sapphire Series SCW-REV.A CPU Waterblock
Enzotech Sapphire Series SCW-REV.A CPU Waterblock

Pros: This waterblock works fantastic! CPU temps were not a problem overclocking all the way to 4.2, couldn't go higher because of my motherboard! If you look at the reviews, this is second to the Heatkiller waterblock, and only is a few degrees behind for a way better price.

Cons: The plastic blue cover on it. Looks alright but..yeah. I took it off. Also you' might need to take it of for some custom fittings. No big deal, the copper look is alright, but leaves alot of residue when taken off. And no 1366 mounting kit by default =\

Overall Review: Rig goes: Pump -> triple radiator -> i7 920 -> gpu block (8800gt OC'd) -> res -> pump Temps are great
