G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-17000CL9D-8GBXM

Pros: I love this RAM, i just got another 8gb and run 16 overall. 16 is alot but i do many things at once on my computer such as gaming movies and music with some video transcoding as well and this RAM is up to the task. I run even tighter timings than stock with no issues, currently run 8-9-9-23 timings and its flawless. very impressed with gskill and will only utilize them for now on

Cons: n/a

OCZ Vertex 3 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) VTX3-25SAT3-120G

Pros: Speeds are great on this drive and of course it is quiet.

Cons: only complaint is that i use this as an OS drive and see hard disk failures that crash system about once a month or so. Takes a reboot to resolve

Overall Review: prolly go with intel SSD next as much more stable

Great product Good Temp

Antec KUHLER H2O 920 Liquid Cooling System
Antec KUHLER H2O 920 Liquid Cooling System

Pros: Had this installed for over a year and have switched between CPUs in the process with ease. Only maintenance i ever have to do is clean out the intake side of the radiator from dust (could be resolved with fan grill). Temps are always low on my FX-8150 thats been OCed to 4.2 still running better temps then stock clock with stock heatsink.

Cons: Fans on the radiator can be loud when in extreme mode.

Overall Review: extreme mode is not required to keep good temps even with high active loads.

not good
