Sweet board and won't break the bank
Pros: First Build from scratch, came with really well laid out instructions cables etc...great experience for a first time ASUS buy. Powered up first time no problems. Could not ask for anything else, if your not OC then this board is fine otherwise get a Z77
Cons: Having trouble recognizing my Corsair SSD but i think this will get resolved with a BIOS update/boot priority change.
Worth every penny
Pros: Dropped my idle temp by 15 degrees (Celsius) running at 750 RPM. My intel i5 (ivy bridge) now idles at around 28 degrees with a slight overclock. Lower profile in terms of height Great price
Cons: Is sort of wider than I had realized. Because I am only using 2 of my RAM slots I am OK but if using all 4 I would have been in trouble. (ASUS H77-Po Micro ATX board) Had to shave my side case fan due to height of cooler in order to fit everything.
Overall Review: I used arctic silver 5 thermal paste and removed the paste that came on it. This has not even gone through the break in period so I expect another drop in temp of 2-5 Degrees.
Perfect little Case for cheap build
Pros: Great case came with all the fixings. Would not buy anything else unless I wanted and ATX form factor case. Cheap and looks great, feels sturdy and well built. Thumb screws are tough to take off the first time but once you take them off once they are breeze after that. I don't know why everyone complain so much about it. Fan is reasonably quiet for a cheap case
Cons: No USB 3.0 on front but for $40 you can't complain.
Great PSU!
Pros: Worked great, no problems powers my system just fine. Bought from another site for way less.
Cons: Not modular, makes keeping everything tidy a nightmare. Can't really complain for a PSU I paid $45 for.
