Pros: Booted up, functions well so far. Paired with the following hardware. 7800X3D G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5 6000mhz EXPO RAM Enabled EXPO, RAM immediately went to 6000, bumped it to 6400mhz manually, so far so good, enabled Enhanced PBO #3 on the CPU and was stable running P95 for a few minutes, haven't tested longer as this is all running on my old Ryzen 3600 Windows installation which is buggy because of the new hardware, to be expected.

Cons: The reason I am knocking one egg off this motherboard is because setting up RAID on these consumer boards is lack luster, the documentation is hard to find and at this moment, it doesn't even work for me. Trying to create a simple RAID1 mirror between two 2TB 980 PRO m.2's in the first two PCIe 4.0 slots, I can successfully create the mirror in the BIOS, which isn't very straight forward and using options labeled (enabled) instead of (Selected) to identify which one you are working on isn't the brightest idea. But where it is failing is setting up the driver during windows install, using the latest driver available from the website I cannot get Windows installed onto the RAID. Recreated my installation media, reloaded the drivers, redownloaded the drivers, loaded them off a different storage device still will not install to the RAID1 disk. I have a ticket open for this with MSI. The manual is also very lack luster in telling you how to do things within the BIOS.

Overall Review: Good board, resources and such need polishing to really assist in getting this board setup exactly how one would want.

Pros: Sounded great while they worked.

Cons: They broke 3 weeks later, left ear just stopped working. Most likely from them packaging the wire super bundled up causing numerous kinks that you have to correct or the wire wraps back up by itself and gets really annoying. Corsair makes great products, but their headsets are trash, I took a risk buying this knowing there were issues and now I regret it. Don't buy this headset.

Pros: FAST! WOW this thing blows the doors off my old 7200rpm drive. For an OS drive I highly recommend this drive if you have SATA 6Gbps. I have not had any problems since I got it as a gift over a year ago.

Cons: Doesn't serve coffee in the morning?

Pros: Smaller so it fits nicely into my HAF XB EVO case, a 212+ would fit but would be close. Idle temp around 34c and max temp around 68C at 100% load Prime95. I would recommend this cooler if you want a cheap option and don't want some severe overclocks.

Cons: Probably wouldn't do as well on a quad.

Overall Review: E7500 Core 2 Duo 2.93ghz @ 4.1ghz

Pros: Fast card, runs cool, runs quiet, WAY faster than my old 6870. Installed the drivers and away I went gaming. I play Mech Warrior Online which runs on the Cry engine and I don't drop below 40fps at 1080p, max settings with no AA even in the heaviest of battles. I will be adding a second for when I upgrade to 1440p.

Cons: 3 Year warranty. Really isn't anything to complain about, but will be my first card without a lifetime warranty.

Overall Review: 2500k @ 4.2ghz DDR3 1600mhz GTX 760 2GB 60GB SSD for OS 3dmark06 30k+ I am sure performance would increase a little bit more if I OC my 2500k back to 4.7ghz. BUY THIS CARD!

Pros: Fast processor, SLI, runs CS GO with maxed settings at 160+ fps, the 1080p looks amazing, this is a great laptop, and even greater because I got it during the $800 sale. Pick this laptop up if it goes on sale again, you won't regret it, don't mind people downgrading this laptop because it came DOA, they haven't even gotten to experience it yet so how could they rate it at all.

Cons: No i7 and no 7200rpm drive :(

Overall Review: BUY IT
