No problem at all

ASUS Radeon HD 7850 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card HD7850-DC2-2GD5-V2
ASUS Radeon HD 7850 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card HD7850-DC2-2GD5-V2

Pros: The main PRO of this card is it's prize - you won't beat that. then there is the cooling, which is actualy very good, I've set the card's core on 1Ghz with the included software, and it keeps beating a game after a game .. Crysis 3 on high .. no lag, no glitch, no nothing. Bioshock Infinite, well, that's where the card gets hot after two hours of playing. I think it's a case problem though.

Cons: as a "Con" I would say that it looks funny when you look at it from the side, the card is about inch and a half shorter than the cooler. that might be because the cooler sits like an inch from the I/O shield.. so "SPACE ISSUE" it is other than that .. great card

Overall Review: It is my first Radeon since AMD took it over, and I am very, very sattisfied, I would buy another one, which I am just about to do, that's why I'm wrinting a review :P

Most Critical Review

What the heck?!

Samsung Galaxy S 4 mini GT-I9195 - 8GB - Black Mist (Unlocked) Smartphone
Samsung Galaxy S 4 mini GT-I9195 - 8GB - Black Mist (Unlocked) Smartphone

Pros: Cool looking, just the size I needed. Is fast enough, so far so good, voice command is a good toy

Cons: poor accessories, no manual, no support - see other thoughts

Overall Review: The phone delivered with manual in Czech language, which is strange, I happen to be Czech, so I can read it, but if you are american, you will not be abble to obtain any information from the manual. Samsung.com doesn't recognize the MEI number, so no waranty? that is even more strange, that as I happen to be Czech I know that anything sold there has 2 year warranty service included by law! Waiting for the response from the store, I sent an email to them so far nothing. I think they should inform you, that product you are buying is not compatible with Samsung us service or warranty and that it is imported, most likely illegally from overseas. Although the device seems to work alright, the lack of warranty might be a reason for me to return it.. I will think about it, but thirty days is very short period of time to test out your phone through

Never buy ASUS again

ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING AM4 AMD B450 ATX AMD Motherboard
ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING AM4 AMD B450 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: It works when it works, then you're on your own

Cons: Be advised that they have a handful of selected GPUs that are supposed to work with this board and while the others might work also "it may work for a time, but we cannot determine how well it will work or if it will work at all." that's a direct quote from customer service. So to sum it up - you buy their board, and any gpu, it will or won't work but they will do nothing about it.

Overall Review: Newegg should really disclose that there a list of supported video cards for this board. We bought it together with a GTX 1060 that worked just fine, after 6 months it doesn't anymore - so now we can either buy an ASUS gpu or throw the whole thing in garbage

Solid case

Rosewill CULLINAN V500 RGB ATX Mid-Tower Gaming PC Computer Case, Supports E-ATX & 360mm Liquid Coolers, 4 Dual-Ring Remote-Controlled RGB LED Fans, Tempered Glass
Rosewill CULLINAN V500 RGB ATX Mid-Tower Gaming PC Computer Case, Supports E-ATX & 360mm Liquid Coolers, 4 Dual-Ring Remote-Controlled RGB LED Fans, Tempered Glass

Pros: - Sturdy solid build - Dust screens on the bottom, front and top - Plenty of room for everything - Plastic shroud that covers the gap between motherboard tray and "drive cage" (so you can route your cable through there) - Comes with a ton of screws including long AIO screws, very handy - The tinted glass looks amazing - Ton of room on the backside of the Mobo tray to route your cables - 4 USB 3's on the front - ATX mobo sits about 2 inches bellow the top, giving you plenty of space to put in a RAD (To me it seems it should fit a 280mm up top)

Cons: - The PSU "basement" is kinda small, I had to unscrew my PSU and move it out the way multiple times to be able to rech the cutouts for routing cables - One the front SSD mounts is pretty much useless, you can't route cables to it, if you have a PSU underneath - It is very easy to put you side panel on wrong. bowed or warped ( with it being glass I'm not sure if that's a good thing) - The power LED has the luminosity of a dying star, it will wait for you not to expect it and then will shine right into your eye, you will be blind for a few minutes. - I'm not sure, but I think the vertical AIO mount next to you MOBO (What would be a drive cage) can't have any decent airflow, it's basically a steel plate with mounting holes in it. But my AIO didn't get delivered yet, so I'm not sure. - All the fans are proprietary. Weird connector. - The controller for the fans is magnet mounted. Had to tape it down - it wouldn't stay put. - One of the three front fans is off colored. When white, it has pinkish tint to it and when any other color it is slightly darker.

Overall Review: All in all it is an amazing piece of equipment, it looks stunning. If you are a system builder and charge people money for building their stuff - this will make you million bucks. Because that's what it looks like - a million dollars. My wife, who's not into computers at all absolutely loves the way it looks. It's wide, it's tall, it's solid. It has a certain feel of presence to it. As soon as you see it, you know this is no joke case. I know my "cons" section is longer than pros, but don't pay attention to that. It is hard to remember the "good things" about a case, because they come naturally as in the bad ones, they stand out. If you want a tempered glass case with RGB this is definitely a solid choice. Buttons feel great, everything is where it should be, the looks.. did I mention the looks? When you get it off your kitchen counter and carry it to your desk, you get this feeling of satisfaction. "Yep, this was a good buy" It feels and looks extremely premium. Definitely recommending this

JVC Black HA-RX900 3.5mm/ 6.3mm Connector Circumaural Full-Size Headphone
JVC Black HA-RX900 3.5mm/ 6.3mm Connector Circumaural Full-Size Headphone

Pros: They're amazing g

Cons: Your ears start to sweat after a couple of hours

Overall Review: I have these for.. Maybe five years now? They sound great, i dropped them a million times on tile floor, i run over the cord with my chair on regular basis, to the point i don't even worry about it anymore. They still look brand new even though i get about 3 to 5 hours of use a day from them for the past three or so years. I mainly decided to write a review because people talk smack on them. They're great and at this price point maybe even the best

SUNPAK 620-786 Tabletop Tripod with Flexible Legs
SUNPAK 620-786 Tabletop Tripod with Flexible Legs

Pros: Pretty cool lookin' easy enough setup - it's one piece

Cons: the legs are extremely hard o position right. I think I read here that it is "Incredible" and "easy to get in the right position" that's a load of bull.. the legs have a looong memory, if you spread them apart I believe the will end up straight in just a few minutes. I tried to use it with my phone to capture something on my desk, and it is absolutely impossible . Won't stay in the shape you put it in, the legs won't support even a phone, they will slide sideways.

Overall Review: Don't buy it, unless you know what it is, and how to work it
