AMD FX-8120 - FX-Series Zambezi 8-Core 3.1 GHz Socket AM3+ 125W Desktop Processor - FD8120FRGUBOX
AMD FX-8120 - FX-Series Zambezi 8-Core 3.1 GHz Socket AM3+ 125W Desktop Processor - FD8120FRGUBOX

Pros: EVERYTHING! I haven't tried overclocking it yet, until I use a better cooling fan (Im using the stock) But Bejebus, I'm impressed. Out of curiosity, I loaded a shooter, played a movie on VLC, printed a 15 page document, whilst downloading a 5 gb file.. all without a hickup..

Cons: It makes me want to call in sick to work, to play around with my new build.

Most Critical Review

Ehh..

Rosewill Anti-Static Wrist Strap ESD Anti Shock Wristband Bracelet (Packaging May Vary) - RTK-002

Pros: Ehh... it gets the job done..

Cons: A little cheap on all aspects. Velcro strap is sub par quality, the alligator clip kept un connecting from the tether. That was remedied with a pair of pliers. Another retailer sold the same style, same color for the same price.

It does what its intended to do. Store.

Pros: I've always had faith in WD green drives. My 1.5 lasted me 4-5 years of constant use (It was my TV show drive) it finally failed. This is intended to become a RAID drive

Cons: Not a con on a WD directly. But people, if you have sensitive data, or years of storage. RAID those drives. 1.2tb of data is a lot to try to rip and save again. I learned my lesson.

Not bad for an impulse buy..

Pros: Its not a bad really drive. I was searching for a SSD for my primary OS drive. I had never thought of a SSD hybrid. Boot time with Win 8 is non existent (22 seconds, I don't even see a bios screen) I'll clock with win 7, I HATE Windows 8.

Cons: Its tiny, concerned of the heat dissipation

Overall Review: Best impulse buy ever!

TOPOWER TOP - 800WS 800 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS SILVER Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: The only reason I didn't give it 5 eggs was because I have only had it for a couple weeks, but its been running 24/7 since in somewhat warm ambient temps. At first I was concerned is that the power cable wasn't long enough to clear my video card (I've always had to extend them), my case has my PSU located at the bottom. Works like a charm. Plenty of SATA connectors and the molex is useful for somethin these days; it powers my fans and lights.

Cons: None so far.
